2015 Hampshire Thread

Really good game this, as they usually are when the scores are in the region of 300. Doesn't appear to be too much between the two sides, and we're almost certain to end up with a result.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Yes, it does look like a result with 2 days to go and already in Hants 2nd innings. I think if we want to make a decent fist in this division we really have to come out on top, if we lose 2 in a row straight up it's going to make us doubt early on our ability to compete in this division.

Dawson out for 27, hes really starting to annoy me.

Golden duck for Vince. We are screwed

[budgetmeansbudget]

Maybe, maybe not. If we can get to 220+, 250 to 300 may be a tough chase on the final day, even with our dubious bowling attack.

Vince is having a blinding start to his CC1 season.

Yep, pretty much his normal score these days. Does the hard graft and then blows it.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Smith has had a poor start to the season.

Stumped in this situation??

[Hampshireboi]

5 down... Will we EVER go an innings without a mid order collapse?

[sussexpob]

Vince not having the best start to the season, which is a shame for his international ambitions. Mind, the way he apparently batted against Sussex when our bowlers were running through your middle order leaves a lot to be questioned about his attitude (could say the same about Luke Wright too, although he had the luck to make an impact)

another 50-100 on the board for Hamps and they could put pressure on a pretty undesirable top 6 for Warks. Problem with playing Warks, their lower middle order has a tendency to stick when you don't want it.

Looks like a different approach after lunch, as the run rate has climbed.

[Hampshireboi]

What's the chances of us declaring tonight and having a few overs at them?

Will be a bold move as will only give us about a 360 lead, but I wouldn't mind seeing us do it.

[budgetmeansbudget]

We'll definitely give them a few overs tonight.

Great progress since lunch and a fabulous century from Ervine after his duck in the first innings.

[SaintPowelly]

Briggs out for 33, probably helps us, let Ervine and Adams score a quick 30ish

[SaintPowelly]

Slug out for 102

Lead is 354.

Nice little 10th wicket partnership here.
