Window Cleaner Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Not a great start today, Notts at nigh on 6 an over without loss after 14...mind you take away the Brigg's unique over that went for 13 and it's a bit less bad.
stevegrant Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Trent Bridge does seem to be a bit of a road at the moment, Kent chased down 340 to win there on Monday.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Trent Bridge does seem to be a bit of a road at the moment, Kent chased down 340 to win there on Monday. think we'll be looking at at least that...unless we get a few quick wickets. Dawson has just gone for 19 in an over.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 Seems that there are rain delays in all 4 games, think 4 NRs would suit us down to the ground, maybe just a NR in our game would be enough.
Dark Munster Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 According to my calculations a NR in just one of Hants v. Notts, Lancs v. Glam or Warks v. Kent should be enough.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 According to my calculations a NR in just one of Hants v. Notts, Lancs v. Glam or Warks v. Kent should be enough. Kent-Warks NR...that means we just need to bat not disastrously badly I think. If indeed we bat.
Weston Saint Posted 19 August, 2015 Posted 19 August, 2015 (edited) Warwickshire Kent just abandoned. Hampshire will now be in QF but away from home unless they can beat Notts. Inspection at 8pm. At present we will be away to Gloucester Now confirmed. Gloucester v Hants at Bristol next week, date to be confirmed Edited 19 August, 2015 by Weston Saint

At present we will be away to Gloucester Now confirmed. Gloucester v Hants at Bristol next week, date to be confirmed A good draw for us I think. Rather them than Yorkshire, Surrey or Durham. I do wish Vince would bat first when winning the toss. I think we're better at defending a total
Lets B Avenue Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Warwickshire Kent just abandoned. Hampshire will now be in QF but away from home unless they can beat Notts. Inspection at 8pm. At present we will be away to Gloucester Now confirmed. Gloucester v Hants at Bristol next week, date to be confirmed Next Wednesday. 10.30am start, which is a bit of a pis ser as I'll be en route to Legoland.
lickierambert Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I see Mark Footitt has rejected a new Derbyshire contract. I'd definitely hope, if we stay up, that the club are looking at offering him one. He's exactly what we need. Whether he would accept, I'm not sure, as inevitably the likes of Surrey and Notts are hawking around

Give it to Ron Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I take it we sold our 800 tickets for T20? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
stevegrant Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 David Willey being rumoured to leave Northants. Probably go to Man U or Chelsea. Already signed for Yorkshire, as if they actually needed him.
Bucks Saint Posted 21 August, 2015 Posted 21 August, 2015 Next Wednesday. 10.30am start, which is a bit of a pis ser as I'll be en route to Legoland. Does not appear to be on Sky. So i might be tempted
Saint Charlie Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 Hants could sign Reece Topley from Essex pretty soon according to Solent.
Give it to Ron Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 Great knock by Jimmy of 97 given us a chance 194-6
ecuk268 Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 217-7. Gloucester need 218 off 34 overs. Hants put on 106 for the last 10 overs, Smith getting his 50 off 24 balls.
Bucks Saint Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 Great recovery from Smith and Jimmy mainly. At least a score we can defend but must get their danger men out as cheaply as Carbs went
Bucks Saint Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 (edited) Dropped Klinger first ball. Jeeez Edit: Klinger now on 70, 9 overs left. Going to be close Edited 26 August, 2015 by Bucks Saint
Berkshire Saint Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 Couple of expensive overs from Arafat and Edwards has made this a cruise for Gloucester now.
Bucks Saint Posted 26 August, 2015 Posted 26 August, 2015 An example of our up and down season all in one important match. Thrown away at the end, when Klinger was finally out, their number 6 and 7 still needed 55 off 33 balls. Did it easily.
Window Cleaner Posted 29 August, 2015 Posted 29 August, 2015 Looks like a bit of a disaster for Hants today, good start and then just keeping losing wickets without adding much to the scoreboard. Undone by spin.
Dellman Posted 29 August, 2015 Posted 29 August, 2015 Why open with pace men when spinners are doing the damage and we have good spinners?
Leicestersaint Posted 29 August, 2015 Posted 29 August, 2015 With the obvious exception of Vince, our batsmen plumbed new depths.
Leicestersaint Posted 29 August, 2015 Posted 29 August, 2015 Why open with pace men when spinners are doing the damage and we have good spinners? I can't answer this - who can?
Bucks Saint Posted 30 August, 2015 Posted 30 August, 2015 A miserable display (though Dawson was v unlucky) but the day was excellent as always, helped by Birmingham / Warks / The Midlanders getting thrashed earlier. Huge Hampshire support too.
Nellie Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Cricinfo are reporting we've signed Reece Topley, and he could join on loan before the end of this season. Very good addition as he's got some pretty impressive stats, hopefully it wouldn't impact on Wood's progress though. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2015/content/story/915959.html

I spoke to him the other day and although he is fine for 1 day games the longer form at 1st team level is a long way off. Massive shame but the signing of Topley will be a great addition and a coup by the club. We are still in talks with Fidel Edwards as well or were when I talked to Giles White a couple of weeks ago
wadesmith Posted 31 August, 2015 Posted 31 August, 2015 Would be a great signing. I was actually concerned that if we went down would any players be looking to leave to enhance their England career ?(i.e. Vince) Not basing this on anything, but it seems more and more common for players in Div 2 to seek employment at Div 1 clubs.

I think that seems to be more to do with the bigger (i.e. Test-hosting) counties generally being in Division 1 these days, and therefore more able to pay the bigger salaries commanded by players on the fringes of the England setup but not quite good enough to get a central contract.

Could be true. If i'm honest I'm surprised that we can offer big wages I just presume (and again this is just a gut feeling) that we are not in great financial position. Although we must have so many revenue streams by now (Hotels.....Gigs..I also believe we stage cricket matches) I could be wrong.

Although we must have so many revenue streams by now (Hotels.....Gigs..I also believe we stage cricket matches) I could be wrong. We cannot pay big wages. We are on a tight budget. We lost money on the recent "gig" much to the clubs dismay. We took all the risk and Boys Own were paid no matter what the situation. We do have revenue streams but......
Window Cleaner Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 (edited) Couple of new blokes today then, or at least new to me, McClaren and Stevenson. McLaren opened the bowling, 2 overs for 2 runs so far, Edwards on the other hand seems to be getting tonked...again. Edited 1 September, 2015 by Window Cleaner
Give it to Ron Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 Topley signs love transfer deadline day....good news at least in a sh1te few days

Window Cleaner Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 Good day with the ball, Durha Ao for 213, now we need a serious effort from the top order to get a decent lead.
Dark Munster Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 Good day with the ball, Durha Ao for 213, now we need a serious effort from the top order to get a decent lead. 54/3.
Torres Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 Signing of Topley from Essex confirmed for next season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/34084014
Window Cleaner Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 Slow going this morning, we've made 2 from five and bit overs. Wicket must be really tricky.

Despite regular wickets falling, we reached 251. Stevenson and McLaren both scored 30. Edited 2 September, 2015 by Bucks Saint
stevegrant Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 Who is this lad Stevenson? Just seen he's 23 and been plucked from Devon in recent weeks, how come he's been thrown straight into the first XI? Seems to have done pretty well, mind you...

Just seen he's 23 and been plucked from Devon in recent weeks, how come he's been thrown straight into the first XI? Seems to have done pretty well, mind you... Scored more runs today than the top three batsmen combined.
Bucks Saint Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 McLaren the star man. That 38 lead is looking like being pretty key
Saint Charlie Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 Got to win from this position, you don't get many better opportunities. Our bowling attack is so much better now than the first few games of the season.
Berkshire Saint Posted 2 September, 2015 Posted 2 September, 2015 119 for 6, effectively 81 for 6. Definitely do not want their tail to wag as it looks like anything above 150 could be a tricky chase here! Durham's wicket never seems to be questioned despite games like this being a fairly regular event.

Durham's wicket never seems to be questioned despite games like this being a fairly regular event. I came to post the same thing. I'll never forget the game at the Agesa bowl about 5 years ago when all three results were possible off the last ball of a four day game, it ended in a draw, and Hampshire got docked points for having a pitch that took too much spin!! I agree anything over 150 will be tough BTW.
