Um Bongo Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 We're already 19-2. What a season this is turning out to be.
keithd Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Get Pietersen in. He's back home doing sweet sod all, just hanging around. When is Lumb due back? Must be next week...and Dimi? He fit yet?
Born In The 80s Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Get Pietersen in. He's back home doing sweet sod all, just hanging around. When is Lumb due back? Must be next week...and Dimi? He fit yet? Lumb will be back when the Twenty20 cup is over. Hopefully this time next week he'll be back with us. I doubt KP will play for us at all this season, but we could certainly do with his runs. As for Dimi, i bumped into him last week and apparently he's still a way off being fit. Don't expect to see him back before June.
REDARMY79 Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 As a side, do you know if you can still walk in free after a certain time at the Rose Bowl? Used to just turn up after about half 3 and no one would be on gates. That was a few years ago now though.

chrisobee Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Not a chance now.There are turnstiles and all now. Used to be dead easy at the County Ground at just about any time !
Leicestersaint Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 281 for 7 - better than it looked but we still managed to lose two wickets in the last few overs. Will we get to 300??
chrisobee Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 Yes, 281/5 was a decent score, 281/7 not so good and as I feared no Kabir Ali for Hants.
REDARMY79 Posted 10 May, 2010 Posted 10 May, 2010 All gates open at 4 so I just walked in! Pothas and Ervine batted really well , think I was the youngest person in the ground by 30 years too.

keithd Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Irvine 107* he's been quite good so far hasnt he? Propped up a couple of innings. lets get him in before Pothas, give the mainline batsmen some help. He's likely to run out of partners...

He's likely to run out of partners... Ervine is a very good player though at times his bowling is erratic and he was over bowled more than once last season. That said he really should be ahead of Nic in the batting and is an excellent fielder as well.
saintsdan Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Ervine is a very good player though at times his bowling is erratic and he was over bowled more than once last season. That said he really should be ahead of Nic in the batting and is an excellent fielder as well. Why? Nic hasn't had the best start to the season but alongside Carbs is our best and most consistent batsman.
keithd Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Why? Nic hasn't had the best start to the season but alongside Carbs is our best and most consistent batsman. arent you contradicting yourself there? i'd put ervine ahead of pothas and therefore take the pressure off pothas to score as heavily as we need him to at the moment.
chrisobee Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Why? Nic hasn't had the best start to the season but alongside Carbs is our best and most consistent batsman. Ervine may not be consistent but is an excellent batsman and invariably has batted higher in the order, 4/5, in the past. I prefer Pothas at 7 as he is indeed more consistent and likely to be able to nurse the later batsman and keep the strike better than Ervine. I've said many times that Pothas is vital to our side for the depth he adds to the batting but so does Evine. Anyway now 345/8, Ervine on 120, Tomlinson on 2.
krissyboy31 Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Has Somerset borrowed our bowling attack? 123/5 and 281/7 to 433/8!
chrisobee Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Has Somerset borrowed our bowling attack? 123/5 and 281/7 to 433/8! Clearly they have
chrisobee Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 113 unbeaten runs for the 9th wicket so far What's the record for Hants !?
chrisobee Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 (edited) 494/9, Ervine 222*. So far 35 for the last wicket after 130 for the 9th wicket, Tomlinson an excellent 42. A career best I think ? Edit Career best for Ervine Edited 11 May, 2010 by chrisobee
Leicestersaint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Wow - Ervine is on 223! We have actually got some batting points!
Window Cleaner Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Up comes the 500, we might even declare! that's more like it.
chrisobee Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Wow - Ervine is on 223! We have actually got some batting points! 228 even now !! SM Ervine 200 off 314 balls, 357 mins, 27x4, 2x6
keithd Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 highest ever 1st class knock for S.Ervine Great effort fella
Lets B Avenue Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 Just back from Rose Bowl. Ervine's immense knock was special in that from the time the 8th wicket went down, Somerset had every one on the boundary and he turned loads of runs down. He just kept hitting at least one boundary each over. I thought that was a bit hard on Tommo when he had just got a career best, but it worked. Once slug got to 200 he just teed off against their opening bowlers. Brilliant! P.S Trescothick out lbw Griffiths 41. 60-1
Weston Saint Posted 11 May, 2010 Posted 11 May, 2010 What's the record for Hants !? 1 - 347 VP Terry & CL Smith v Warwickshire Edgbaston, Birmingham 1987 2 - 321 G Brown & EIM Barrett v Gloucestershire County Ground, Southampton 1920 3 - 344 G Brown & CP Mead v Yorkshire United Services Recreation Ground, Portsmouth 1927 4 - 263 RE Marshall & DA Livingstone v Middlesex Lord's Cricket Ground, St John's Wood 1970 5 - 235 G Hill & DF Walker v Sussex United Services Recreation Ground, Portsmouth 1937 6 - 411 RM Poore & EG Wynyard v Somerset County Ground, Taunton 1899 7 - 325 G Brown & CH Abercrombie v Essex County Ground, Leyton 1913 8 - 257 N Pothas & AJ Bichel v Gloucestershire College Ground, Cheltenham 2005 9 - 230 DA Livingstone & AT Castell v Surrey County Ground, Southampton 1962 10 - 192 HAW Bowell & WH Livsey v Worcestershire Dean Park, Bournemouth 1921
chrisobee Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Somerset 243/4, looking like a draw unless both sides are keen to get a result.

krissyboy31 Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Somerset 243/4, looking like a draw unless both sides are keen to get a result. Normal service resumed, now our world beating bowling attack have taken centre stage!
krissyboy31 Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Thanks, interesting that neither Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards appear, sure they had a fair few big opening partnerships though ! I'm guessing they held the 1st wicket partnership prior to Terry and Smith. I saw the Pothas/Bichel partnership live and Udal came in after and smashed it to all parts of Cheltenham College. Great entertainment.

Well I clearly remember Greenidge and Richards putting on an unbeaten 200+ in a one day match in the 70's when both carrying injuries as we cruised to a win by 10 wickets ( v Gloucs or Notts maybe?). Both made centuries, MOTM went to GG I think as his injury was the worst !! I'd have these 2 in my best ever Hants eleven any day, I suspect few would disagree especially as this is NOT the Saints board

Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Somerset lead by 12 at lunch, 1 wicket remaining. Everyone except Pothas has bowled!
