wadesmith Posted 31 May, 2013 Posted 31 May, 2013 Northants have a comfortable lead in the division so i can't see that happening. Yeah it would be a bit mental.
Leicestersaint Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 Too many dropped catches! They are now 243 for 7.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 Too many dropped catches! They are now 243 for 7. and now 376/8... batting practice I guess.
Leicestersaint Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 390 for 8 - going for the batting points. Poor by our team.
wadesmith Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 About 3 weeks ago I said we are going up....what was I thinking..we are ****! Sad to see out promising ypunger bowlers Briggs and Woods not pushing on as expected.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 390 for 8 - going for the batting points. Poor by our team. no batting points after the 110th over, just batting practice.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 About 3 weeks ago I said we are going up....what was I thinking..we are ****! Sad to see out promising ypunger bowlers Briggs and Woods not pushing on as expected. told you so
Leicestersaint Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 no batting points after the 110th over, just batting practice. Good points (no pun intended!).
Leicestersaint Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 I am listening to Lancs versus Gloucestershire - quite tense but looks like Gloucs will get a draw and stop Lancs getting even further ahead of us.
Window Cleaner Posted 1 June, 2013 Posted 1 June, 2013 I am listening to Lancs versus Gloucestershire - quite tense but looks like Gloucs will get a draw and stop Lancs getting even further ahead of us. don't know about that, they just need 1 wicket, how many overs left?
Leicestersaint Posted 4 June, 2013 Posted 4 June, 2013 don't know about that, they just need 1 wicket, how many overs left? They just held on - with 9 wickets down! Our next match starts tomorrow - let's hope we can get our heads into the right place and get our second victory.
Leicestersaint Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 Good start for Hants against Kent - but Carberry out straight after lunch (first ball) - lack of concentration?
Window Cleaner Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 195 for 4 - might make 300 hopefully. depends on McKenzie really.
Leicestersaint Posted 5 June, 2013 Posted 5 June, 2013 265 for 4 with McKenzie 84 not out - could be worse (although slow scoring).
Leicestersaint Posted 6 June, 2013 Posted 6 June, 2013 290 for 4 - McKenzie 101 not out - looks like we should post a big score of 400 or 450. Hopefully a winning position!
Leicestersaint Posted 6 June, 2013 Posted 6 June, 2013 455 all out - that's better! Clearly a very good batting wicket as they are now 106 for1.
Leicestersaint Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 What is going on in Hedge End?? There has been no play so far and yet up here there is not a cloud in the sky.
ecuk268 Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 What is going on in Hedge End?? There has been no play so far and yet up here there is not a cloud in the sky. Heavy rain and thunderstorms this morning. Seems to be brightening up now.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 Heavy rain and thunderstorms this morning. Seems to be brightening up now. play has now started and Kent are at 172/5, if only we can finish them off quickly without any tail wagging at all we may well be in with a chance.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 Ah no, no miracle, we got smashed about and Kent declared at 300 odd for 7, now Hants are 20/2 in reply.McKenzie to the rescue again?
Leicestersaint Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 Interesting declaration - about 140 behind. Now Dawson and McKenzie are steadying things - 45 for 2. Presumably there is still some way to go today so there must be the chance of a result tomorrow.
wadesmith Posted 7 June, 2013 Posted 7 June, 2013 Yeah i'm guessing if we can get a qick 300 lead (if we arent bowled out!) declare & give them about 80 over to get 300. Game on.
Leicestersaint Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 They need 340 odd and are currently 4 down for about 50 - we should win this now but of course this is Hampshire!
wadesmith Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 KInd of shocked Hampshire set them 340. In the last100 years of cricket that kind of total hasn't been chased down too often in a county game, especially as Kent sacrificed batting points to declare If i was Kent I would have agreed to 280-300......but maybye there were ok with it! Fair play to Kent. Win this & we are rightback in the mix.

wadesmith Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 Yes a generous declaration by Kent - so different from Northants - and now it is us to us to capitalise on it! I can kind of understand Northants as they were top of the league, but Lancashires tactics mystified me. 92-4 now, the comeback is on.
Window Cleaner Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 Hants bowlers now getting savaged as per usual, we need to break this 5th wicket partnership before too much damage is done. Can we sign any new bowlers or is there a TW in cricket now as well ?
Window Cleaner Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 Poor bowling! fortunately Ervine broke up that 5th wicket stand or we would have lost to be sure. The problem is unresolvable, we can't take wickets unless the opposition are forcing the pace, we are a one day side.
Leicestersaint Posted 8 June, 2013 Posted 8 June, 2013 I am very disappointed - poor captaincy in not bringing Ervine back - poor bowling - towards the end a majority of deliveries did not need to be played by Kent.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 June, 2013 Posted 13 June, 2013 I see we've got a new bowler then,Tanvir Sohail, at least he's managed a couple of wicket today but we're still getting tidily spanked after putting Gloucs in.Day lost to rain again...draw would be a good result.
Leicestersaint Posted 13 June, 2013 Posted 13 June, 2013 I listened to quite a lot of it today and it was all a bit predictable - a few dropped catches in the slips and the bowling did not sound impressive. We will do well to hang on in this match I fear. It is not going well this season.
St Lej Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 393 for 9 - and we put them in!! Utterly utterly woeful. Declared 410/9. This bowling attack has to be the worst on the whole county circuit. Forget struggling to take 20 wickets in a match - which we are finding impossible right now - this team is struggling to bowl out any side once in either innings. What makes it worse is that we are generally getting the first 3/4 wickets for around 100 ish, and still teams are declaring 350-450 for x. The inability to finish off the tail, anyone's tail, even a truly dreadful Kent side, is criminal. Balcombe, Tomlinson and Wood as front line bowlers seem to be going backwards, and this is Div 2 level. Doesn't look good for the future with this attack. Dimi seems the only one capable, and he won't be around forever
Weston Saint Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Hampshire forfeit 1st innings Gloucester 2nd innings Hampshire require 411 in 168 overs we are now one wicket down without score
St Lej Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Hampshire forfeit 1st innings Gloucester 2nd innings Hampshire require 411 in 168 overs we are now one wicket down without score I know everyone likes to see a "result" match, but 411 to win in 5 sessions is ridiculously ambitious considering our recent form, and probable lack of confidence. Smacks of total desperation, and to compound it now 1 wicket down already which means we will now probably set our stall out to scratch around for the draw - the same outcome if we'd simply just batted on in our first innings. Bet Gloucs couldn't believe their luck when Adams agreed to this.

Makes interesting cricket. I back Hampshire to win this!

I back Hampshire to win this! I do hope your'e right! Time will tell i guess. Agree it makes interesting cricket but historically a side chasing 400 plus is very much odds against
Weston Saint Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Here is how the conversation went......Adams came to the boundary just as Gloucester were reaching 400. there was a conversation and pointing and then what looked like an agreement. Gloucester then reached 400 in the last over where points available Dawson bowled his next over very quick and it was blocked. Seemed strange but I then looked at the score board and our over rate was -3. Became clear Adams wanted that down to 0 to avoid points penalty but he did not want to chase much over 400. As soon as it was back to 0 declaration came.

Makes interesting cricket. I back Hampshire to win this! Well I hope you're right but I think we will either lose or rain will force a draw. We have sacrificed any batting points as well.
Saint Charlie Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 68/4 - game lost in all liklihood. We are a one day team.

Makes interesting cricket. I back Hampshire to win this! We are 76 for 5 chasing 411!! I think this must rank as one of the daftest decisions I can remember a Hampshire captain making. I am sorry but I don't think Adams is up to the job.

I am sorry but I don't think Adams is up to the job. Well he probably didn't make the decision all by himself, whole shower is just a shambles with odd decent batting performances. Given the erratic nature of our openers performances this season it was just a stupid,stupid decision. We can't bowl sides out so we'll be in D2 next season as well,unless we can get relegated to minor counties or something for being absolutely abysmal with the ball.
Weston Saint Posted 14 June, 2013 Author Posted 14 June, 2013 Utter embarrassment. Our bowling was pathetic and our batting is equally as bad. Think I will call it a day!
Saint Charlie Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Not as bad as Essex. Bowled out for 20 by Lancs. One opener got 10, six ducks.
JoeShmoe Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 68/4 - game lost in all liklihood. We are a one day team. This, Adams and Vince, the usual 3 or 4 good games at the start of a season then utter mince, the bowlers that bad Dimi has had to come back To think we were favourites to win Div 2.. laughable You wonder in all honesty if Hants really care about 4 day cricket anymore
Leicestersaint Posted 14 June, 2013 Posted 14 June, 2013 Adams made the decision and it is a good one. Gloucester supporters are not happy. Supporters of Hampshire are happy. Makes interesting cricket. I back Hampshire to win this! Well I am afraid your backing of Hants was a bit misplaced. We were made to look very silly - and I think that Adam's decision was very silly and his contribution was another duck. We were outplayed in all departments and even in the negotiations between the teams. Lamentable.
