Window Cleaner Posted 6 August, 2017 Posted 6 August, 2017 27/2. I hope that Vince and Bailey are on form today because if not we look a bit light on batting.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 August, 2017 Posted 7 August, 2017 (edited) Batting really looks difficult at the Aegeas. Managed to get our noses in front which is good but with 6 down and slow scoring. Ah, make that 7 down then or not, confusion on the scorecard front.. Edited 7 August, 2017 by Window Cleaner
Window Cleaner Posted 7 August, 2017 Posted 7 August, 2017 Excellent knock by Dawson on what Solent said was a slow and difficult wicket. Made 75 which is exactly the lead we have over Lancs.
Hodgey Posted 7 August, 2017 Posted 7 August, 2017 Hmm - Lancs making the wicket look a little less difficult. You clearly can make runs on this pitch - we're going to have to learn how quickly if we want to swerve a defeat.

You clearly can make runs on this pitch - we're going to have to learn how quickly if we want to swerve a defeat. No play today. Good news, a draw would be fine: Essex will win the league, and the other 7 teams are battling to avoid the drop.
wadesmith Posted 8 August, 2017 Posted 8 August, 2017 If they get a full day's play tomorrow, I reckon Lancs & Hants should go for a result. Both need to win. Lancs score another 60 & declare, leaving us 285 in 90 overs. Don't let me down chaps.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 August, 2017 Posted 9 August, 2017 Raining apparently, a 9 point draw suits me considering that our batting doesn't look great if McManus is unable to bat.
lickierambert Posted 9 August, 2017 Posted 9 August, 2017 McManus and Roussow out for the rest of the season with broken fingers My guess is Alsop will be given the gloves and Adams will come in for the T20 side
Window Cleaner Posted 10 August, 2017 Posted 10 August, 2017 Somerset and Surrey don't look to be interested in engineering a result today so that's a bonus for us, drop wise that is. Should be pretty much OK now unless we of course lose our last 4 games, which is unlikely.
wadesmith Posted 10 August, 2017 Posted 10 August, 2017 Interesting Crane took 3 wickets. Considering England have got West Indies next who are crap, so England won't be scared to experiment? Will he get the call? He did get the call!
Window Cleaner Posted 12 August, 2017 Posted 12 August, 2017 Excellent win yesterday evening, great knock from the stand in wicky. Really set us on our way to chasing a difficult target and allowed Vince to play himself in.
Lets B Avenue Posted 12 August, 2017 Posted 12 August, 2017 Excellent win yesterday evening, great knock from the stand in wicky. Really set us on our way to chasing a difficult target and allowed Vince to play himself in. He certainly batted with considerable Gung and no shortage of Ho.
Window Cleaner Posted 12 August, 2017 Posted 12 August, 2017 He certainly batted with considerable Gung and no shortage of Ho. Gung Ho is great...provided it survives the power play without 4 or 5 down.
Dark Munster Posted 18 August, 2017 Posted 18 August, 2017 I see Mason Crane is not allowed to play today as he is on important drink duty for Eng. v. W. Indies.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 August, 2017 Posted 18 August, 2017 I see Mason Crane is not allowed to play today as he is on important drink duty for Eng. v. W. Indies. Probably about as important as our game this evening. There must be a scenario where we fail to qualify for the quarters but it's probably pretty far fetched. Still he higher you finish, the lesser your QF opponents in theory. There will no doubt be a good crowd to please though.

Lets B Avenue Posted 18 August, 2017 Posted 18 August, 2017 Qualification is guaranteed, but finishing in the top 2 certainly isn't (home tie for the quarters). And we sure managed to furk that up! :x:mcinnes:
marc_saint Posted 18 August, 2017 Posted 18 August, 2017 Derbyshire away on Tuesday Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
Window Cleaner Posted 19 August, 2017 Posted 19 August, 2017 Pretty awful yesterday evening eh! Still Derbys away, could be worse I suppose. As James and Maru pointed out, a week without a game does not lead to very much positive.
Lets B Avenue Posted 21 August, 2017 Posted 21 August, 2017 Carbs and Crane back in the squad for tomorrow.
stevegrant Posted 22 August, 2017 Posted 22 August, 2017 Well that went better than expected Extraordinary innings from Afridi (about bloody time), but the bowling tactics from Derbyshire were odd to say the least. Bowling spin at Afridi (exactly what he wants) in the powerplay, then when they bring the seamers on, they just bowl length at him when he's already got his eye in. The first time they bowled a proper bouncer, they got him out, but he'd already scored 101 at that point!
Window Cleaner Posted 23 August, 2017 Posted 23 August, 2017 James and Tremlett seemed to think that it was T20 knockout stage experience wot won it. Oh and some monster hitting by Afridi.
OldNick Posted 23 August, 2017 Posted 23 August, 2017 Great performance, we blew Derbyshire away. Dawsons decision looked iffy, he wasn't pleased either. They didn't show it back to check
Give it to Ron Posted 25 August, 2017 Posted 25 August, 2017 Wtf Carberry to Leicestershire on loan are they mad? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
Window Cleaner Posted 26 August, 2017 Posted 26 August, 2017 So then, Notts in the T20 semis. Hope that 10 days or so with no cricket won't be to our disadvantage. Have Notts got a 4 day game this next week ?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 August, 2017 Posted 30 August, 2017 So, not looking great for Warks, one down then, Don't think there'll be a result Surrey-Middlesex and I suppose Essex-Somerset could still go either way but with no batting points for either side. All in all quite a satisfactory round of games for Hants.

All in all quite a satisfactory round of games for Hants. Finals Day and solid in Division 1 would be a good season and tangible progress. Think Essex will beat Somerset with their fragile batting. Warks have looked like drop material all season and ageing squad, can see them being in D2 a while.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 September, 2017 Posted 2 September, 2017 So we're off, Notts batting first and scoring a few in the opening overs. Need not to let Hales and Wessels get too set. Hah, magic, Hales caught by Afridi off Woods as I typed.
Window Cleaner Posted 2 September, 2017 Posted 2 September, 2017 (edited) Need to stop Wessels cos he's slamming us. Yesss, Crane gets him. Edited 2 September, 2017 by Window Cleaner
Window Cleaner Posted 2 September, 2017 Posted 2 September, 2017 If you don't want to miss out on the most biased commentary ever broadcast have a listen to Radio Notts. No Solent today ?
saint1977 Posted 2 September, 2017 Posted 2 September, 2017 James Vince tactical masterclass. His innings was wonderful but sadly the only big name from Hants to turn up today. Youngsters did well, not least Mason Crane. However, Abbot, Bailey, Dawson and Carberry all got overawed by the occasion. Felt a bit sorry for Berg when he was batting well and people bottling it at the other end. Afridi did very well with the ball but tends to be all or nothing with the bat but happens, we were in a good enough position to win. Still, fantastic effort to stay up in D1 this time after a shocking couple of seasons.

He was the difference between the 2 sides.

Highly likely, he's just not a 1 day bowler, might have been in the past, don't know about that but he goes for 40 ish every time now.
Window Cleaner Posted 5 September, 2017 Posted 5 September, 2017 Quite a few changes to the side today, Alsop keeping wicket by the looks of it. Adams and Wetherley to open.
Dark Munster Posted 6 September, 2017 Posted 6 September, 2017 Quite a few changes to the side today, Alsop keeping wicket by the looks of it. Adams and Wetherley to open. No Mason Crane. I guess he's on drink duty again vs. the Windies on Thursday?
Lets B Avenue Posted 6 September, 2017 Posted 6 September, 2017 No Mason Crane. I guess he's on drink duty again vs. the Windies on Thursday? It would appear so. Roland-Jones for Woakes is the only change.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 September, 2017 Posted 6 September, 2017 Well! I thought we'd bowled pretty well to get them out for 200 but as it seems to be our annual batting disaster day I'm not so sure now. 66-6 might lead to problems for Hants.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 September, 2017 Posted 7 September, 2017 Saved by the lower order today. Going quite well at 233/8 at the moment, 30 odd ahead and approaching a second batting point. Good contributions from Holland, Berg and Abbott.
Window Cleaner Posted 12 September, 2017 Posted 12 September, 2017 No play today at Uxbridge, wet outfield. Annoying really because all the other D1 matches have started on time,
Lets B Avenue Posted 12 September, 2017 Posted 12 September, 2017 Virtually every season (not this one) we have to play them in the T20 at a club ground. Now this. I like Uxbridge as a club, having played there several times. But having a 4 day game there in September? Hope Middlesex don't get sucked into a relegation battle.
Window Cleaner Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Play started, Strange side that Hants have put out. Hope they know what they're doing. No Dawson, Vince or Bailey it would seem. The BBC has Holland keeping wicket, don't think that's right though.
Lets B Avenue Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Play started, Strange side that Hants have put out. Hope they know what they're doing. No Dawson, Vince or Bailey it would seem. The BBC has Holland keeping wicket, don't think that's right though. No choice. Dawson with England. Bailey in Pakistan and Vince did his hammy this morning in the warm-up. They didn't say if it was playing footy or not. Alsop keeping even though Dickinson is playing. Felix Organ is making his debut. Aged 18 and recently played ODI for England u19.
Dark Munster Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Wtf Carberry to Leicestershire on loan are they mad? Given today's lineup I would say the answer is yes. The weather will probably save them for this match, but who knows for the remaining two.
stevegrant Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Pretty ****-poor that they're playing a County Championship game at an out-ground in September. We'd have had nearly two full days' play at Lord's with its proper drainage.
Lets B Avenue Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Given today's lineup I would say the answer is yes. The weather will probably save them for this match, but who knows for the remaining two. Given his run of single-figure scores for Leicestershire I would say the answer is no. He played his final innings for us in the T20 semi-final. A fact confirmed by Kevan James' post match interview with James Vince. Carberry is rumoured to be next season's Leicestershire captain.
Dark Munster Posted 13 September, 2017 Posted 13 September, 2017 Pretty ****-poor that they're playing a County Championship game at an out-ground in September. We'd have had nearly two full days' play at Lord's with its proper drainage. True, but without Bailey, Roussow, Dawson, Vince, and Carberry there's a good chance they'd lose at Lord's. And with Somerset looking like they'll beat Lancs we'd then be in the thick of a relegation battle.
Window Cleaner Posted 14 September, 2017 Posted 14 September, 2017 Looking like another wash-out today. Hope we'll not regret the lack of bonus points from this match.
stevegrant Posted 14 September, 2017 Posted 14 September, 2017 Looking like another wash-out today. Hope we'll not regret the lack of bonus points from this match. Middlesex are comfortably below us and also won't get anything out of this game, so I think we'll be fine. We've also still got to play Warwickshire, who look utterly hopeless and just want the season to end. They could be relegated this week depending on how the other games finish.
