What a boring second half.

A win today.

I'll take the win.

Dawson and Baker both awarded ECB one year central contracts. I suppose that means we won't be seeing much of them are Hants next year. Jack has a development contract.

Brad Wheal has a 1 year contract extension.

Absolutely no evidence of arson at the moment.

Is that racist as in someone who loves car races or the other type?

Kyle Abbott named County Championship MVP. Well deserved.

Will Neal get a contract? I think he was in the squad for the last two games.

The Comoros Islands were able to send a rider to compete in the UCI Women's World Championship road race because the UCI allows all nations to participate based on international ranking and quota regulations; smaller nations like Comoros may send at least one representative even with a modest cycling program. In contrast, the UK actually qualified a full six-rider team for the elite women’s road race but chose not to send anyone. Instead, British Cycling decided to focus entirely on the separate under-23 women's road race event, which is new this year and no longer embedded within the elite event. As a result, no British women are competing in the elite road race for the first time in over thirty years, despite their eligibility Thank you AI.

An improvement.

Ben Brown will have to redo his post match interview.

Are you going to be posting screenshots every 5 minutes for the next 4 days? (Just so I know where to get up to date scores.)

Looking like a points deduction wicket. (Rob White who is officiating today was at Hants two previous points deduction matches.)

The women have lost their final. Just need Hants relegation for a full house.

Make your mind up!

Not too sure about your source for weather forecasts!

A bit optimistic for the Hants game. Can't see them avoiding the follow on and Taunton seems to be avoiding the rain. Birrell sounded pretty pessimistic in his end of day interview yesterday. Birrell was saying Leach turns the ball the opposite way to the Hants bowlers ( which would be better)and the pitch was becoming more and more favourable to turn . He regretted not playing another spinner.

Now Switch over to the women. Already 1 -0 up.

I had a look at this thread and now I've got an ad from transboutik.com

Ah well, down to Taunton on Monday. Should be fun.

Fortuin was named in the Hants squad but as he played for SA yesterday and probably tomorrow can't see him playing today. Probably have to play Neal as spinner.

Hants docked 8 points for dodgy pitch vs Sussex . Have signed Washington Sundar for last two Championship matches.

Birrell won't be coach next season - official.

Day 3 rained off. What's likelihood of play tomorrow?
