2015 Hampshire Thread

We just need to re-step on the gas a little bit. At risk of missing 180 - 200 otherwise.

I don't want to put the mockers on but, despite Benks implying 180 would be merely par, could they chase anything like that given the pressure of a knock out game and their 100% loss record in T20 QF's.
They could do it but I'd be very surprised-although maybe I'm just thinking of Durham's dreadful attempts at chases over the years!

For me, chasing down anything over 170 would rely entirely on Moeen and/or Whiteley.

But both of them can do it, especially the latter.

Looks like 200 plus for certain.

[st_brendy]

2010 away QF. Vince not out in a successful run chase. 60+ score.

2014 away QF. Vince not out in a successful run chase. 90+ score.

2015 away QF. Vince 100+

[st_brendy]

Great score.

If Worcs chase this down, then well done to them. Just like it was well done to us in chasing down the same sort of score in last year's QF vs Notts.

[st_brendy]

Massive wicket.

[st_brendy]

Well done boys. 6th consecutive Finals Day is confirmed.

[st_brendy]

So then, we're the only south group side to make Finals Day.

SF draw coming up.

Hants v Lancs

A repeat of last year's SF. Hopefully we'll get revenge - just like we got revenge on Somerset in the 2012 SF, following our 2011 SF defeat to them.

A lot will depend on if we've got Buttler for Finals day. Our batting is a lot weaker with out him.

I see no reason why he wouldn't be available to play. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Ashes ODI series doesn't start until the Monday after Finals Day.

Clear forecast tomorrow - win the game, and we'll qualify for the QFs. Our final match on Weds will then be about whether we have a home or away QF. But lose tomorrow, and we'll go into that game on Weds still sweating on a top four place (unless Notts, Glamorgan and Sussex all win tomorrow, in which case even a defeat tomorrow will still see us going through).

For me, it's Carberry, Adams, Wheater, Vince, Ervine, Dawson, Smith, Wood, Arafat, Crane, Fidel. I could probably accept a case being made for Ervine to come in at 7, after Dawson and Smith.

[SaintPowelly]

I rate Will Smith, but in no universe should he be ahead of Wood when we need 9 an over

Didn't really keep much of an eye on yesterday's game but looking at the table this morning just about every result (including our own!) went against us.
