Hampshire reach second XI final

[Weston Saint]

An innings of 170 from batsman Jimmy Adams helped Hampshire into the final of the Second XI Trophy with a 118-run victory over Glamorgan.

 

Adams shared an opening stand of 282 with teenage batsman Benny Howell (103), as Hampshire piled up 310-2 in their 50 overs.

 

Glamorgan could only muster 192 all out in reply to crash to defeat.

 

Hampshire now meet Essex in the final on 1 September, after Essex beat Leicestershire by eight wickets.

Good result and encouraging for the future.

Makes you wonder why we persist with the same failing batting line up. I appreciate that Carbury, Crawley, Ervine, Lumb and probably one or two others occasionally do the job but if we rotated it a bit more the existing order might be a bit less complacent.
