Dawson gone, can't see Berg and McManus scoring 57

Disappointing

I said someone needed to follow Jimmy in making a 70.

We get that, we win the game. Instead, we now the need to tail to score about 30 to 40 between them (more if McManus goes soon).

Berg has a FC average of 29, if he can get that, we get close

McManus getting a working over by Coad. Could have been out three balls in a row.

It's a nice change from the usual early season drubbings!

Even if I don't have any fingernails left.

I'm confident now

Special mention to Brad Wheal for his batting effort yesterday, which I think is easy to overlook

I don't care it was an under strength Yorkshire side. We have finally won a D1 game in April! And from being 75-8, and looking like not even avoiding the FO.

Great team effort from the Hants lads and a good way to start the season.

It also means that for at least a few hours, we are top of the Championship. I'm not sure if I have ever seen us sitting top of the Championship before!

Gobsmacked, can't believe it. Especially after 25 overs or so of our first innings.

I know it's early doors, but just imagine if a team who should have been relegated, went on to win the title!

And McManus producing two crucial innings and not getting out in either innings.
