Window Cleaner Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 Looks like we're off to a decent start with the ball though. Worcs 120-6, did we actually have any warm up games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 When is North available from? Good start from hants, Cork took 3 wickets in 4 balls, all LBW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 15 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 15 April, 2009 Worcs 132 all out. Good performance, surprised Worcs put themselves into bat considering it must have been damp. Now we need 300+ on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwarwick Posted 15 April, 2009 Share Posted 15 April, 2009 Looks like we're off to a decent start with the ball though. Worcs 120-6, did we actually have any warm up games? Played Glamorgan in two one day games with each team winning one, then we played Middlesex in a two day game winning quite comfortably in a rain affected match. The one day game against Middlesex was washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 16 April, 2009 Share Posted 16 April, 2009 216 all out in the end, Dawson top scoring with 66. Worcestershire 39/4 in reply at tea - odds on us winning but being deducted points for a crap pitch, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Saint Posted 16 April, 2009 Share Posted 16 April, 2009 Already been cleared by pitch inspector apparently. First game of the season...both sides are stronger bowling sides than batting...nothing too shocking IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 16 April, 2009 Share Posted 16 April, 2009 Already been cleared by pitch inspector apparently. First game of the season...both sides are stronger bowling sides than batting...nothing too shocking IMO! Plus there tend to be some shocking batting totals early in the season, few players get 1000 runs by the end of May nowadays.Must be because all the test batsmen are still on international breaks or something.

Lets B Avenue Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Went 1st day. Nothing wrong with the pitch. Ball swung all day but there was regular bounce and good carry. Most of the wickets were LBW with a debutant umpire (David Millns) very quick to get the finger up. But then he was an opening bowler himself.

Window Cleaner Posted 19 April, 2009 Share Posted 19 April, 2009 Why does the BBC league table show us with a 3 point deduction?? Did we get one already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66East Posted 19 April, 2009 Share Posted 19 April, 2009 Why does the BBC league table show us with a 3 point deduction?? Did we get one already. I was wondering that as well. cricinfo has got us on 18pts, so hopefully it's just a **** up. http://content.cricinfo.com/countycricket2009/engine/series/382410.html?view=pointstable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 Hampshire were deducted 3 points because of their over rate. It does not matter that the game was over in 3 days. The laws state that 16 overs need to be bowled an hour and the calculation is then applied over the whole game. Hampshire used their fast/seamers all the match. Pothas and the team would have been aware of the fact as the main score board showed they were -3 overs for much of the game. They could have used Dawson and Carberry to try to speed it up (that is what normally happens) but it was a low scoring pitch and weather threats. More important to get the win than worry about the over rate. All delays and loss of wickets are taken into account. In fairness to the team, they did run to the other end after each over.

Weston Saint Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 (edited) Is that a new law or has it always been there?It has been in place for many years. More severe on points deduction in the last 2 seasons though. Used to be something like 0.5 per over before I seem to remember The scorers take into account delays on the field, wickets (about 2 minutes per wicket) and then negotiate with the umpires at the end of the game so that a fair assessment is taken. Hants had no excuses. Pothas will need to learn to manage this better in future. Edited 20 April, 2009 by Weston Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
