Cork has gone for 27 off 3 overs - what is going on??

Which alas shows what the rest of us know!

Some of us have been supporting saints for over half a century through thick and thin and would like to see a bit mroe thick with us winning and getting promoted. If that is negative moaning so be it.

Poor, poor, poor- do we ever practise shooting at the goal??

Good report -good points - but still all rather disappointing. We need to start winning a few.

England are a disgrace and the whole pathetic lot that played in South Africa should be kicked into touch. I presume there will be a very low gate at Wembley.

We're now 275 ahead and seem to be scoring at under 3 an over. Isn't it time to declare and make a match of it?

Declaration! Hampshire now 23 for 1 - so we are about 124 ahead with a full day left. Maybe there will yet be a result.

They are now 101 behind with 3 wickerts left. It is starting to look like a draw - which is a real shame for us.

230for6 at tea - they need another 41 to avoid the follow on - touch and go! I wonder how many catches we have dropped today?

Frustrating day at Basingstoke - 421 for 5 now. I hope we declare overnight and give it everyting tomorrow.

362 for 4 - a bit of a collapse! Should manage about 400 by stumps (hopefully).

330 for 1 off 77 - partnership now worth 299! This is more like it!

Yes - now 250 for 1 off 58 and looking good. Scoring rate for the last ten overs - 7.2 an over.

99 for 1 at 3 an over - looking better.

So far 34 for 1 off 14 overs! Sounds like a sticky wicket. We need to win this one so we need one or two big scores.

As corsacar saint says roll on Durham - but we do now need a win or two to get us out of danger.

If this is true i think it is very childish, petulant and sad and reflects very badly on the attitudes of the present management.

Yes looks like a draw.

Lancs are now 83 for 1 - just 3 runs behind with 9 wickets standing. I don't like the way this is developing as i can see us struggling to get a target of 250 in the fourth innings.

51 runs ahead with two wickets left - maybe we can get another batting point and a lead of around 80 or so.

Start delayed by rain - any indications of how the weather looks?

End of day two and we have our nose in front with 4 wickets left. It's a shame that no one has made a century for us but if things go well tomorrow we must have a good chance of another win.

I have been a big fan of both Dimi and Pothas but we seem to be doign OK now so fingers crossed for the rest of the season!

Well done to our lot - Hants have now started to look like a good side in all forms of the game - let's hope we can keep it up (as the Bishop said to that well known woman)!
