Four wides from Topley in the first over already.

Not even Joe 90 could pull it off.

Hopefully we lose our 2nd wicket quite quickly*

*Assuming it's not Carberry.

Good

Your best batsman supposedly comes in at number three, or in Hants case the worst batsman to ever play for the club.

We pick him as Ervine replacement. Horror decision. But no, that's not the end to it. We then relegate Adams down the order to accommodate him in at no.3.

In this case Joe numpty.

Doing our best to destroy our net run rate.

What's our worst ever defeat in this tournament?

What's our worst ever defeat in this tournament?

By runs, 73 runs.

Sussex made 205 at Hove back in 2007 (Luke Wright was smashing it around that day too). We made 132-8 in reply.

Only four times have ever failed to made 100 (excluding rain reduced matches, and matches where we've been chasing less than 100). And one of those four was here at Chelmsford.

Probably the worst possible ground to have a bad day/night given the 'vocal' home crowd.

Brilliant. White has confirmed in the post match interview that Gatting will get another chance in Ervine's absence (although he didn't specify in which format, it could be the four day vs Middlesex or the t20 vs Glamorgan).

Does White normally do the post match interviews? I noticed - on Twitter - that he has been speaking after play on a few recent occasions but I haven't heard anything from Benks lately.

Hants seem to be losing their T20 grip. Don't seem to be the dominant force of recent years
