Incredible effort. We were absoloutely dire at the start of the season. We then lost Dimi, Kabir Ali then Afridi got picked for Pakistan, Michael Lumb lost his form, Pothas & Jones got injured...and we still made it to the semis! It turns out the above may be a blessing in disguise as we surely would not have picked a team with Vince, Briggs, Bates and Woods all playing. So pleased for Cork. Fantastic example & just what our younger players need. This could represent a big turning point for the immediate future of Hampshire.

I agree it's probably not the greatest spectacle for the purist, but it's given us a chance to blood 4 young players all born in Hampshire (I think) and they all look pretty damn fine. I watched Hampshire all through the eighties & I don't think I saw 4 decent Hampshire born players in the whole decade.....although I would welcome someone to prove me wrong!

T20 = Cricket for people who don't actually like cricket.
Not so. I was there this evening with a full coach load, most of whom watch 4 day games and are regulars.

 

Good day. Thought Egbaston was shabby and not a patch on the Rose Bowl. Good atmosphere though. Great win. Always felt we ewere just in control throughout the game.

It is in the middle of a multi-million pound refurb'.

 

Going to look mighty good when it's done.

I watch all forms of the game and enjoy them all, this was a great night out for our boys and glad I was there to witness the win. If you don't like it fine but please don't tell me that I don't like cricket because this form is not to your liking.
