The good thing about watching on Sky is that you can turn it off,as I did at half time. The way we defend, I doubt whether we will keep a clean sheet all season. The manager was a defender ffs,do they just play attack versus defenders who attack in training,never ever seen a worse defence in 60 years. Cannot see RM and JW being here much longer. Very,very disillusioned and worried where we might be at the end of the season,what a total and utter shambles of a club. As an aside there must be a manager some where who can set us up defensively to be solid with the players we have, Harewood Bellis was arguably the best centre half in the championship last year under Kompany.

Good win against Somerset,will be interesting to see team for 50 over final,probably the semi final team again.

THB has one helluva job trying to help organize and play in our defence,good luck to the man,he certainly needs it. Conceding 12 goals in 5 championship games is a total disgrace and we have not played one of the better sides yet. Difficult to see a top 6 finish at present,needs urgently sorting,perhaps Winning tackles and cutting out zonal marking would be a start.

Where did I say we should sign Clarke and for the record I meant 20 goals in around 35 games, if he is fit to play in october and as good as some of you think he is going to be.

As I said, I would love to be proved wrong, I have always liked Sunderland and watched their games on tv,to me Stewart is not the quickest and is basically unproven at this level level [ 10 in 12 last season ] if he doubles that here, I will hold my hands up. As for their best player,how about Jack Clarke,who they refuse to sell. Bellis Harewood would be an amazing signing.

Love to be proved wrong,but totally under whelmed by this signing ,not too enamoured with the potential signing of Roberts either.

Looking like Leicestershire in final,we owe them for our one defeat in the competition.We will certainly be up for it,well done today Hants for such a commanding win.

Went in 2006 when Leon Crouch chartered a plane for Saints fans. We were just on on way out of ground when Bale equalised in a 1 - 1 draw. I was back indoors at 20.40 pm and the plane only left Newcastle airport at 19.00.

Be fantastic if we can win at Edgbaston and beat Warwickshire and get revenge for that humiliating innings defeat at home earlier in the season

If he can stay fit he could be a big asset,only slight downside he could keep one of the promising youngsters out of the side,as has already been alluded to. Generally good though.

Thanks very much for the explanation WC,much appreciated. Andy Watson. Still think it is total bollocks and let us hope that it is not needed in any shape or form versus Worcestershire.

Great win,delighted for Nye Donald. I understand figures,but for the life of me,do not understand Duckworth Lewis. Could someone on here please explain to me how Hampshires net run rate went down from 1.171 to 1.048 when they won the game ? Surely it should of gone up by a miniscule at least with a win.

Perhaps we could put in an offer for Sinclair Gregory,he ran Ipswich ragged for an hour yesterday.

Winning the group and eliminating Kent would be fantastic Mark. Might be easier said than done though,lets keep our fingers crossed.

Good win,we were lucky in the first half that their final ball was poor,but overall I think our second half dominance deserved all 3 points,so have to be happy.

A massive well deserved win,watched the last 25 over of Hants innings online,brilliant from Prest and Eckland.Very sad to see how bad Yorkshire were though,they are in decline at present.

On the after match chat with our manager,did Franny inadvertently call the manager Martin instead of Russell? Or was that my awful hearing,not really important,but I thought very funny all the same.

My mate is a QPR fan,he said when Lumley was there,Rangers fans said to a man,that he was the worst keeper they had seen in years.

The Cat,are you the guy who bought the India Test Match ticket off me in 2014 [ At West End ] and therefore sat next to me. I seem to remember,[ some times wrongly at my age ],that this was your moniker on this site. Andy Watson

Always liked Sunderland,so watched them alot on Sky. To me Stewart is injury prone and slow.Happy to be proved wrong if this transfer ever happens. I know he has been out for months,but saw quite alot of him pre serious injury.

Agree about a shake up,still think the club has dropped a clanger keeping both Abbas and Abbott on for next year,as good as they have been.Surely Donald has to replace Brown as keeper batsman,or at least be given a chance as a batsman and Prest as well. We are obviously holding both back for - The London Cup. We have decent batters on paper,but most are totally under performing where it matters on the pitch.

The problem is Ron,we are total pants against the better sides and I see Brown failed with the bat again,even if the conditions favoured the bowlers. Take off your rose tinted spectacles.

Class player and always came across as very down to earth and decent. Only a year older than me as well.

Brown should not be playing full stop,nor should any other player who continually under performs. I will ask the same question again,how do White and Birrell keep their jobs? Perhaps my old friend Ron Griffiths could give me the answer.
