Leicestersaint Posted 15 July, 2013 Posted 15 July, 2013 Appatently we've won 28 of our last 33 20/20 games. If that is correct that is incredible. Yes our record in 20-20 is incredible. Bowling is good and batting is sometimes awesome.
Leicestersaint Posted 17 July, 2013 Posted 17 July, 2013 The Kent match seems to be ambling along - Kent 228 for 1 in reply. Our bowling seems rather lacking in imagination.

Leicestersaint Posted 17 July, 2013 Posted 17 July, 2013 Kent 513 all out - we trail by 101 now. I just hope we can save this.

Leicestersaint Posted 18 July, 2013 Posted 18 July, 2013 Well it ended up a rather boring draw. Must do better I feel.
Dark Munster Posted 19 July, 2013 Posted 19 July, 2013 (edited) Yes our record in 20-20 is incredible. Bowling is good and batting is sometimes awesome. Another 20/20 win today, against Surrey. Make that now 29 wins out of the last 34 20/20 games! Maybe they should bat in their 4-day games like they do in 20/20. They'll probably score more in a 20-30 over slog than they normally do in 100+ overs. Edited 19 July, 2013 by Dark Munster

Maybe they should bat in their 4-day games like they do in 20/20. They'll probably score more in a 20-30 over slog than they normally do in 100+ overs. That stat of 29 wins in 34 is phonomenal!...especially when you conisider20/20 is such a lottery, even more so when you consider the South group has got to be the toughest of the three. I gonna predict that no team will ever win 29 out of 34 in the history of 20/20 again.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 July, 2013 Posted 21 July, 2013 Looks like it might be a bit of an uphill battle today, thought we were in a good posish but some awful bowling, notably from Wood, let them back into it. Still we've got some blokes who can score quickly but at 8+ an over now they'll need to do their stuff.
Leicestersaint Posted 21 July, 2013 Posted 21 July, 2013 Lost by 8 runs - rather a collapse towards the end. Vince doesn't seem to be delivering at present. Shame
wadesmith Posted 23 July, 2013 Posted 23 July, 2013 Dimi Retiring at the end of the year. Really sad about this , I thought he had another two years in him, but his achilles has won in the end. Hampshire legend, probably second most decorated Hampshire player ( i think Ervine has probably won the most medals) interestingly I checked Cricinfo & Dimi has taken 100 more first class wickts than Flintoff, at a lower average!
Window Cleaner Posted 26 July, 2013 Posted 26 July, 2013 Essex n the T20 tonight, we're getting hammered just now. Wood gone for 19 in 2 overs, Griffiths for 11 off of his first. We'll be looking at 8+ an over again I think.
wadesmith Posted 26 July, 2013 Posted 26 July, 2013 Listening to Alan Mullaly on Solent. He truly is a massive ****ing Bell-end. Kind of an Alan Patridge meets David Brent hybrid.
lickierambert Posted 26 July, 2013 Posted 26 July, 2013 Won by 5 wickets tonight, another excellent knock by Carberry. This all feels quite empty without County Championship success, though
Leicestersaint Posted 26 July, 2013 Posted 26 July, 2013 A very good win tonight against Essex - must almost guarantee us going through. Good batting.

End of an era - Dimi seems to have been with us for so long. It won't be the same without him - what a great all-rounder. Yes - a legend.
Give it to Ron Posted 27 July, 2013 Posted 27 July, 2013 A very good win tonight against Essex - must almost guarantee us going through. Good batting. Having watched us struggle last Sunday I thought we were dead and gone but brilliant batting got us out of jail after pathetic fielding and some average bowling. I still think we are one decent bowler light to replace the Afridi quality.
Give it to Ron Posted 27 July, 2013 Posted 27 July, 2013 How on earth is Carberry not in the England squad?
wadesmith Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 How on earth is Carberry not in the England squad? Because he doen't play for Yorkshire.

I think you're right but we are still doing well in the limited overs matches - wish we were up to scratch in the 4 day game.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 July, 2013 Posted 28 July, 2013 I think you're right but we are still doing well in the limited overs matches - wish we were up to scratch in the 4 day game. Because in limited overs you just need to be able to score more runs than the opposition..we have batsmen who can do that. In the 4 day game you need to be able to bowl them out twice (unless they commit silly declarations) and as we all well know we don't have the bowlers to enable us to do that.

On T20 front, Hampshire have not only qualified for QF with 2 games to go but are also guaranteed a home draw. The lowest they can finish is 2nd in the group. Top of each group plus best second get home draw against one of the other two seconds and best 2 3rds. Lowest we can finish is best 2nd.

On the bright side they'll be showing the QF's on the telly over here. So you lads can make a nice little earner from the 9 seconds delay by offering to run a live mobile skype call to the boys placing the bets with the smaller bookies in India. Oh no sorry got distracted there. I meant to say Woo HOO, I get to see us on telly at last!
View From The Top Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Just realised that T20 finals day is the same day I get back to blighty so I'll not be able to go. Also the ECB are doing a kids for free promotion through the holidays for YB40 games. Worth checking out as Hampshire have home games on the list. Nipper and I are doing Derby v Hants for £12 which I think is a great price for the pair of us.

Great idea. Pity we are away otherwise we'd have traveled down for that.
Minty Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Finished with 185/6, Carberry 83* off 56 balls. Dawson came in with 7 balls remaining, faced 5 of them and got 6, 3, 4, 4, out! 17 off 5 balls!
Minty Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Kent 66/2 off the first 10 in reply, 120 needed in 10 overs. Pretty simple maths, somewhat less simple to get them I reckon!
Minty Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Over number 13 killed them off - Dawson taking 3 wickets and conceding just one run! Had probably won it before that anyway, although Stevens had hit a few. Currently 108/6 after 16, needing 78 off 24 balls.
Leicestersaint Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 Another great win for our team - quite an annihilation of Kent. With such a ferocious start to the Hants innings it was always a tall order but we have handled it very professionally. Well done Hampshire!
wadesmith Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 In the last 5 years Hampshire have appeared in 5 QT finals...& 3 finals days. I believe we have had 1 player in the England 20/20 squad in that period ( im not counting Peterson) why is this? How the hell has Carberry not played at least 20/20 for England. It's not like he's a flash in tje pan..he's been banging out the runs for years. Ps forgot Lumb.
Sour Mash Posted 29 July, 2013 Posted 29 July, 2013 I've seen three Hants 20/20s so far this year, not one has even come close to being a contest. Take it Hants are favourites to win the whole comp?

wadesmith Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Alan Mullaly's commentary is on fire tonight! He managed to stop talking about himself & referred to the game for a couple of minutes. My favourite Mullaly comment tonight is, 'do you think Middlesex are going through the motions?' unlikely Al as they have to win to qualify. He has actually drifted into the zone of being so bad he's good.
Minty Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 190/3 off our 20 overs - i thought we should win comfortably. Denly with some big hitting (67 off 44) meant they made it a bit closer than it probably should've been at the end (55 struck off overs 16 to 19!), but a victory by 8 runs in the end. Well done Hampshire.
View From The Top Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 My Lancs supporting wife is not happy with that draw and annoyingly we are on holiday in a non-WiFi enabled house in very rural France when it's on!
wadesmith Posted 31 July, 2013 Posted 31 July, 2013 Two pretty evenly matched teams. Katich & Ali will want to put one over on us. I reckon we just have the edge. They only won 5 but tied 2. Should be good.
Leicestersaint Posted 2 August, 2013 Posted 2 August, 2013 After a horrible start, we are now 60 for 2 against Glamorgan - McKenzie has scored 7 off 59 balls! Oh he has just got a 4!
Leicestersaint Posted 2 August, 2013 Posted 2 August, 2013 261 for 6 and Vince is still there - good innings by Carberry again.
Leicestersaint Posted 4 August, 2013 Posted 4 August, 2013 Oh dear - Glamorgan have declared about 130 ahead - we simply don't seem to be able to bowl sides out. Poor.
Leicestersaint Posted 4 August, 2013 Posted 4 August, 2013 Hampshire 31 for 1 - Adams out for 10. What is the matter with JA this season - I can't imagine his average is very high.
wadesmith Posted 4 August, 2013 Posted 4 August, 2013 Hampshire 31 for 1 - Adams out for 10. What is the matter with JA this season - I can't imagine his average is very high. Believe it or not before this game 41.85! Bowling such a problem this year. I think it's time for Balcombe & Griffiths to maybye find different counties. Both good bowlers, but it's just not happening for them.
Berkshire Saint Posted 4 August, 2013 Posted 4 August, 2013 Adams had a ridiculously good start to the season but has barely made double figures in the Championship since June! Tomlinson probably our best seamer at the moment so don't understand why he was left out for this one. Griffiths has always flattered to deceive for me and he isn't that young anymore either so reckon it's time to move on from him.

wadesmith Posted 4 August, 2013 Posted 4 August, 2013 Tomlinson was rested as his wife is due to have a baby any day Weston, you seem pretty well connected, any good bowlers coming through?
Weston Saint Posted 4 August, 2013 Author Posted 4 August, 2013 Weston, you seem pretty well connected, any good bowlers coming through?No one on the horizon. Very worrying as our present lot, other than Tomlinson, are struggling in the championship.
