Window Cleaner Posted 29 April, 2021 Author Posted 29 April, 2021 A very poor day for Hants so far. Might as well write off this match I think. Might even be a zero pointer, although that would take some doing .

Amla (ret. inj.) and Pope scored 75 more runs between them than Hants got in both innings combined!

Can't say I've seen much of Currie, apparently it's his second first-class game, so I assume he must have featured last season at some point? Scott also played for England U19's in the last World Cup (and had a spell at Portsmouth FC)

Much in the way of pace/movement/bounce? His bowling by accounts was the only bright spot of the match at the Oval. In other news, IPL stopped. Unlikely to resume anytime soon with the tragic crisis in India. Means Williamson and the England boys (bar injured Stokes) should be available now for the NZ Test series in June which should be a corker.
Picard Posted 5 May, 2021 Posted 5 May, 2021 Talking of NZ it is reported Hants have signed de Grandhomme for the end of the T20. It is not on the OS however.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 May, 2021 Author Posted 6 May, 2021 Not a great start again today, Hants 26/2 . Survived a fair few passable appeals for leg before and caught behind as well.Still as we look to bat down to 10 we might get past 100 this time.
ChrisPY Posted 6 May, 2021 Posted 6 May, 2021 Already looking at the weather forecast. Heavy rain on Saturday but might be too late by then.
Window Cleaner Posted 6 May, 2021 Author Posted 6 May, 2021 1 hour ago, Picard said: 100? Are you sure? Well no, the opposing teams have worked out that all you need to put Hants in trouble when batting is a couple of average, work-horse seamers bowling straight and on a length and flawed batting technique will do the rest. Shambles 72/8
Window Cleaner Posted 7 May, 2021 Author Posted 7 May, 2021 14 hours ago, badgerx16 said: I think our bubble has well and truly burst. Perhaps not. In an ideal world we'll finish them off for not too many this morning, have a solid 2nd innings, rain tomorrow and get a draw on Sunday. Then again they'll probably make 400+, skittle us again and take maximum points..
John B Posted 10 May, 2021 Posted 10 May, 2021 With the Saints having such a bad time I was taking comfort in Hampshire having a good season I don't know why as we were pretty average in 2020. At least I probably feel a great deal better than Pompey supporting Hampshire fans who must be gutted after yesterdays results

At least I probably feel a great deal better than Pompey supporting Hampshire fans who must be gutted after yesterdays results Yes, the two straight losses for Hants is a bit of a downer. I just don't see how we're going to correct the batting disasters against decent seamers on a track that's doing anything at all. At least we made an effort of it yesterday but losing Abbott to a nothing ball on Saturday evening really didn't help. Northeast doesn't seem to be the solid top order batsman that he seemed to be at Kent. I didn't watch a lot yesterday but I do wonder if our batsmen are taking the off stump guard that seems to be relatively successful against our pace bowlers. Edited 10 May, 2021 by Window Cleaner
Window Cleaner Posted 14 May, 2021 Author Posted 14 May, 2021 A better, if shortened, day yesterday. Put Middx in and they were 90/4 at the close. 3 wickets for Abbott. Abbas bowled pretty well but isn't getting wickets just now. Hope we'll get nigh on a full day's play today because we need a win.
Window Cleaner Posted 14 May, 2021 Author Posted 14 May, 2021 Oh dear, Hants 9/2 again after bowling out Middlesex for 172.
Picard Posted 14 May, 2021 Posted 14 May, 2021 Did you think Hants were going to return to their early season form? (Or just hoped it)

(Or just hoped it) Which is the true HantsCC ? The team from the first 2 matches or the one we have seen since then ? It's looking like we got all our season's good performances with bat and ball lumped together in early April. Edited 14 May, 2021 by badgerx16
Window Cleaner Posted 14 May, 2021 Author Posted 14 May, 2021 When you look at the number of our runs that are scored behind the wicket it's no real wonder that our batting is so fragile. What was Dawson thinking? 67/4 and he has to have a one day slash outside of the off stump.
badgerx16 Posted 15 May, 2021 Posted 15 May, 2021 A first innings lead ! Shame Barker didn't take a single off the last ball of that over rather than trying for the boundary again. A century tor him would have brightened up the gloom. Now, can we get at least three of them out before they knock off our lead ?
Window Cleaner Posted 15 May, 2021 Author Posted 15 May, 2021 Middlesex 3 down for less than 30 would be a great start, t'were it Hampshire it would be far more likely. Still at least we managed to recover a bit from the catastrophic start, thanks to Vince and Barker. Don't think the rest, including extras, made 60 between them.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 May, 2021 Author Posted 15 May, 2021 Right. Hants need 66 to win in about 130 overs, rain permitting. Can't possibly cock this up surely.
Picard Posted 15 May, 2021 Posted 15 May, 2021 Regarding tomorrow's weather do they need to finish this tonight?

Hopefully not, don't want to see any swishing outside of the off stump. they'd probably do that if they need 66 from about 32 overs. Wicket looks realy, really difficult to bat on.
badgerx16 Posted 15 May, 2021 Posted 15 May, 2021 The first hour tomorrow should be dry, gets iffy after that.

Weston Saint Posted 16 May, 2021 Posted 16 May, 2021 Good win, now for Leicestershire. First game I can attend. All 4 days booked and seat allocated.

Hope that the weather holds up for you then. Bonus week, football on Tuesday, I assume that you'll be going and cricket from Thursday to Sunday. I see that we've signed an Australian batsman who bowls a bit for the T20. Only 7 home matches though, why aren't there at least 8 as there are 18 county sides?

Only 7 home matches though, why aren't there at least 8 as there are 18 county sides? Not going to football. Gave up my season ticket year before last. Do get occasional corporate in a box. T20 is based on 14 games so we drop one side home and a different side away. Strange but it is a number of games issue and allow to include QF in fixtures.

Provided that he can adapt to English conditions yes, looks handy from the video clip on the OS. That said Handscombe looks a right old duffer with the willow on English Spring wickets. Still, wickets later inthe season should improve.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2021 Author Posted 19 May, 2021 Batting looks hazardous again this morning.Pinned down again, Weatherly caught at slip, Holland dropped at slip a few balls later.
Window Cleaner Posted 19 May, 2021 Author Posted 19 May, 2021 Doesn't seem to be the best of days for spectators to return to the Aegeas. Delayed start, frequent showers and a pretty awful batting wicket that makes very ordinary seamers look deadly. Now if we'd started tomorrow it might have been better. Apparently it's because the New Zealand team finish their quarantine at the end of the week and want to practise on the ground.

Weston Saint Posted 21 May, 2021 Posted 21 May, 2021 Watching from home today. Frozen to the bone yesterday.

badgerx16 Posted 21 May, 2021 Posted 21 May, 2021 In the only match currently playing, Darren Stevens, the oldest player in the championship at 45, has so far scored 160 out of the 183 Kent have scored whilst he has been at the crease. The 9th wicket partnership stands at 134, and his batting partner has scored 1.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 June, 2021 Author Posted 9 June, 2021 Not a great start to the T20 campaign. Bowling looks weak and is getting seriously smashed. PLus the video stream just stopped working.
Window Cleaner Posted 9 June, 2021 Author Posted 9 June, 2021 Belay my last, spinners have put the brakes on a bit and are getting some wickets.
