Weston Saint Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 Can any one tell me what has happened to Danny Briggs?He is fine. Wickets do not suit him at present so they are using Dawson as the spinner to create a better balance in the side. He will come good when the wickets get dryer and harder.

Born In The 80s Posted 17 May, 2012 Share Posted 17 May, 2012 He is fine. Wickets do not suit him at present so they are using Dawson as the spinner to create a better balance in the side. He will come good when the wickets get dryer and harder. Absolutely hate that tactic, and i know a few of the players do, too. Briggsy played for England this winter - he is more than capable of dealing with these testing conditions. A quality spinner is a valuable asset in any conditions, and learning to bowl in seamer friendly conditions is very important in english county cricket. Young players are only going to get better by playing. Very poor management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 23 May, 2012 Share Posted 23 May, 2012 Some good work from Ervine today. Not sure how many more chances Dawson will get. Moving from no 7 to opening is tough, and I wonder if he is good enough? Shafayat must be close to getting in the team after his excellent debut...

Berkshire Saint Posted 23 May, 2012 Share Posted 23 May, 2012 I like Dawson and while he did a job there last season it seems ridiculous that we have two blokes who've opened in test cricket batting at 3/4 while he's struggling. Carberry has opened nearly all his career (and did for England Lions the other week) so it seems pretty obvious to move him up (despite his duck today!) and move Dawson back down to the middle order.

Weston Saint Posted 26 May, 2012 Share Posted 26 May, 2012 Worth recording an excellent 4 days at the Ageas Bowl with a win for Hampshire completing a Championship double against Glamorgan. David Balcombe was my man of the match. Scored some good runs at the tail and bowled Marcus North twice wehn he was well set. North was by far the best batsman on show. Look outfor the name Maxwell. An Aussie paying for South Wilts. Could be one of our overseas player in T20 if complicated contract can be sorted. Spoke to Dimi (and his wife with their delightful 8 month old son) earlier in the week. Fit but having just flown in and short of bowling he never expected to feature against Glamorgan.

Weston Saint Posted 8 June, 2012 Share Posted 8 June, 2012 (edited) Interesting interview with Dawson on Solent Sport this morning. He does not expect to open again this season. He has rediscovered his bowling and is first choice 2nd slip. With that the pressure of opening becomes too much. He and the club see him as an established all rounder and he will now bat at number 5. Makes sense. Now scored a century.

saint1977 Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Defeated by Somerset in the 40 overs - Vince makes 95 but we have FIVE ducks (plus one 0 not out). Not very impressive! Brilliant innings from Vince, really starting to tighten up and mature now. Katich got a stinker from the umpire, who can only have guessed at a nick off the gloves at best but some of the other dismissals, esp Adams, Ervine and Wood, were reckless. Dawson supported Vince well for our best partnership but this might be a blessing in disguise as with Finals Day in T20 and a promotion campaign to win, three pots on the go might have been too much for your young squad. Still very proud of them this season though so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Was there yesterday and couldnt understand the decision to bowl first. We dont chase well under lights and the pitch would only get slower as the game went on. Razzaq would have been less of a threat and Briggs and Dawson more so. Griffiths cannot be trusted with the final overs. Without Dimi our batting ends at no.6. Bates/Wood/Hamzza used up 45 balls scoring 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
