Window Cleaner Posted 26 July, 2011 Share Posted 26 July, 2011 First Lumb and now Griffiths is injured playing footy before the match. Warwicks won toss and batting. Briggs in for Griff, which as the pitch is a used one, is no bad thing. except that Briggs got smashed for 10 an over. 5 overs for 50 runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 28 July, 2011 Share Posted 28 July, 2011 perhaps not paying up on time isn't a calcuated decision, HCC probably doesn't have the money.I don't think the game was all that well attended and the weather wasn't great (is it anywhere this "summer"?).Sri Lanka aren't a great draw and 2 million + is a lot of money. I did question that at the time but i think Weston said that there would be minimal losses. Therefore the money came in and should have been ready to pay out. It seems to me that getting further tests is imperative for the clubs future, to risk it by holding money back seems daft to me.Also spending so much on conference facilities is hell of a risk as there is so much competition.

Bear in mind the refunds for the Test match aren't actually handled by Hampshire. The address you had to post the tickets to was somewhere in the midlands.

Leicestersaint Posted 31 July, 2011 Share Posted 31 July, 2011 We're doing OK against Leicestershire. It's 259 for 3 with one over to go with Ervine hitting 136. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 31 July, 2011 Share Posted 31 July, 2011 Great knock from Ervine and well supported by McKenzie. I have to say though that Leicestershire were the worst fielding team I have seen. I also thought they were poor not even atttempting to go for the total and just ambled along. Briggs pick of the bowlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 Balance of the team is all wrong. Dimi is fit but could not get into the side. Kabir is fit but cannot get into the side. Yet our only change bowler is the woeful bowler, Ervine who only managed a 3 over and 2 over spell. Wood bowled well and deserved his place. Cork was OK. Why are we playing 2 spinners!!! Dimi or Ali should have been in the side for Briggs (only because Tahir is our overseas player and of international class) We have Dawson to turn to if we needed him. I bumped into Cork just before the game to ask about the toss. "I lost it and they bat" was the reply. Says it all really. I walked away from the balcony on one occasion as I was fed up clapping Yorkshire players achievements. Thoroughly depressing day but the food and company was to its usual high standard. Pitch Inspector, Pigott was present again today. Nothing to report would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 Hants Championship hopes of survival have just died today. there weren't any anyway, haven't been since De Wet and Myburgh turned out to be a right pair of Ali Dias. Our bowling has no bite, it may be useful for restricting sides in wishy washy one day cricket but when you have to bowl sides out twice to get a result we aren't at the races. Oh people will blame the batting but what can you do, they'll be facing 450/500 tomorrow needing a result so silly strokes will be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 2 August, 2011 Share Posted 2 August, 2011 Methinks there's been some rum goings on at the club this year, maybe the senior guys didn't like being overlooked for the captaincy; maybe there's an obsession with overseas 'stars' who are only here for the payday; maybe the young ones face jealousy from the old lags and there's plenty of those; maybe the bossman was focused on the Test match and the lolly because the four day matches run at a loss; in short there's chaos from top to bottom, like the football team four years ago: good ground rubbish team no money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestersaint Posted 3 August, 2011 Share Posted 3 August, 2011 435 for 5 - extras 43. Are we dropping lots of catches or is the bowling just plain ordinary? I am afraid that wholesale changes look to be needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 3 August, 2011 Share Posted 3 August, 2011 The wicket is pretty flat at the moment but is likely gain a bit of turn later. Yorkshire were boring and too defensive. They could and should have upped the run rate. They could and should have declared earlier. They were only ever interested in making sure Hampshire did not gain points over them. It gives Cricket a bad name. They only gained 3 batting points in the alloted 110 overs. Tony Pigott there again today but he was not there to look at the pitch. He had his other hat on accessing the Umpires. Peter Such also around on behalf of the Selectors looking no doubt at Briggs and Rashid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO5 4BW Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Not that it really matters but Cork has just declared after Carberry got his 300 - might as well have let him go to 317 to break the all-time top score record for Hants.

wadesmith Posted 5 August, 2011 Share Posted 5 August, 2011 Rigjt so let me get this straight we produce a (non damgerous) pitch which produces an excellent game and get fined 8 points. We then produce a pitch where two first divisipn bowling line-ups take 13 wickets in three and a half days and it's a big thumbs up from Tony Pillock... Sorry Piggot (bit of satire from me there) and they wonder why no-one watches championship cricket. Absolute rubbish, and I don't think it's one in the eye for the ECB..they fined us, and now we've produced a bland pitch as required guranteeing our relegation. Congrats to Carbs though...thought his career was over..incredible stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
