Andrew Watson Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Well done Hants,now onto a real tough game at Taunton on sunday. Perhaps we could loan Sam Billings for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Decent win in the end but as has been said, another poor performance from the openers and over the PP. Vince I’ll give some slack for that direct hit but McD couldn’t stay in for three balls once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 One of those days - 2 home games where they could limit runs / control run chases then off to Taunton where you need very different tactics. They are not used to chasing anything like that, even though it’s a great batting pitch and it showed. Didnt watch until later in our innings so there may be a reason for this but Gubbins in at 9 ??? Assume that is because he can’t score quickly - but come on now - let’s give one of the big hitting kids a chance / experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When McDermott did the same their bowler kept his line and hit the stumps. And with Weatherley they bowled outside of off, knowing full well that he doesn't score many that side. So eventually he gets out trying to hoick everything over midwicket. We're good enough against poor to middling sides but will come unstuck against the better ones, above all on their patch. Turner is a concern, seems to have weathered his non selection for the WC T20 not too well, mind you on today's showing it kind of makes sense. He's got to be smarter when he bowls.

Lighthouse Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Dawson not in tonight’s team, are we expecting a particularly bad wicket for spin or is he injured? I’m assuming it’s tactical as we haven’t replaced him with Organ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 They could do this with three overs to spare TBH. Odd that we went with no spinners. It turns out Dawson was ill but you'd have thought Organ might be a better option than Wheal, who's only bowled one over and been hit for 12.

Hodgey Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 A lot of players look out of form / poor confidence. Even Weatherly who hit 48 was never really middling it. I think we are over cautious whilst 20/20 is becoming more explosive. still a hope if the top order can find more consistent form, middle order is more like a 4 day team. And Essex away is a difficult place to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Dreadful death bowling - no pace variation, just bang it in and get walloped that was why we lost. Mills and McAndrew showing guile our seamers don’t seem to have at the moment. think that’s probably us - been a bizarre tournament where our batting has just never got going bar the odd cameo and our bowling has lacked variety and brains (Dawson excepted). we were probably due a bad one given how consistent we have been, but got to question the tactics and prep.

Window Cleaner Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Well, I watched some of last night's game on some sort of bizarre Indian youtube re-transmission, I am now an expert in what you need to put into your curry recipes from their adverts. As far as the game is concerned, it's clear we have at least two problems. We don't bat well enough at the start of our innings, and we don't bowl well enough at the end of their innings. It's all wrong. McDermott isn't doing the job, the youngsters drafted in to replace Orr and Prest don't score quickly enough, and Vince looks out of nick. Scored a few yesterday but took a while to get going, same as Weatherley. Wheal shouldn't be anywhere near the side, Fuller is too wild for T20 fielding options, Wood....don't get me started, why is he still here? and Turner has obviously gone backwards or is no longer interested by Hampshire. Neser is OK sometimes, not as good as Ellis, probably a better bat though. We're toast for this season's blast, need a complete overhaul for next time round. Still, there's the 50 overs joust to look forward to, hoping for better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Reason why Vince took time to get started and needed treatment part way through - At training during the day he got a ball come off his bat and hit his throat. He had difficulty speaking straight after but recovered enough to play. There are other issues that I am not prepared to go into as they are private. They all leave at 10am today to travel up to Edgbaston. No team news as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 That was Neser’s final game for us. Overall… mmmmmmm, I’d rather have Ellis back next year if I’m honest. We’ve got enough all-rounders in Howell, Dawson and Fuller. I don’t mind having a good old fashioned #11 batter, as long as he can actually friggin’ bowl. Wheal’s contribution to the last 48 hours has been 1-60 from 5 overs. Who chose him to bowl the 20th I’ve no idea. Vince was clutching his chest area at times yesterday. I assumed he has some sort of stomach upset and had possibly caught the same thing Daws had the night before. I guess a good whack to the throat would explain it. A better performance from his though, unlucky with his wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got an ageing bowling line up & you’re not putting what I consider one of the most exciting young bowling prospects in world cricket in the squad. I think that points to one thing, they must have serious concerns over his back. He’s 23 now, and taken 10 wickets at 10 a piece...why would you not even put him in the squad?

I will try to talk to Aidi the coach next week. He was in the squad but despite the bowling attack aging you have to go with your best team and the present 11 is the best choice with Orr still injured. He is under one of the best bowling coaches in English cricket. He will know when Turner is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Edging towards 300 now after a little bit of a mid-innings wobble. I think I largely agree with the team, Turner is off form and I don't think piling more County games into him is necessarily the best idea. As Weston says, we've got BAA so we might as well use them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
