Funnily I agree with most of what you are saying Fuller had two operations in the summer turned out for the 2nd XI scored a century I believe Dawson has no confidence as a batter but his bowling is important, Youngsters are not good enough for Div 1 but they could be OK in Div 2 like ex-players Alsop Holland Mason now in Div 1 and Came and McManus in Div 2

Spygate is an interesting situation where a football club as got to the playoffs probably by cheating as SFC are not refuting the EFL Charge and the spy has been identified as a Club Analyst There seems to be something happening as the club has been charged and do not seem to have refuted it. I would be livid if it was Middlesboro who had been charged and carried out the spying. Not sure what to think of a manager who cheats being involved with SFC and perhaps Still would have performed better if he had

i agree but let the games go ahead if Boro win they can fine us next season and if we win the final they can fine us and give the game to Millwall if we are guilty they deesrve it four finishing third

I thought he was pretty unlucky last night bowled pretty quick and had Elgar Jumping all over the place

Give it a rest just back from an enjoyable couple of days at Essex PS I am not sure you understand cricket

Could you please stop posting this rubbish Middleton is a less than Average First Class Cricketer with little confidence playing in a poor team one of the worst in the last fifty years The coach is unlikely to be sacked as he is not responsible for bowlers inaccuracy and batsman's poor shot selection

I always hoped that Mason Crane would get wickets at the Bowl but surely not Hampshire wickets

I have been supporting them through thick and thin for over sixty years it is great when we win and sobering when we don't The PL has been awful for the Saints so I have mixed feelings about a return there next season where probably the thin will start again

Well he has his confidence back playing in a successful team good luck to him and all the other players

So what he only a red ball reserve Albert and Middleton are above him but were not picked in the first two matches and now Albert is injured

I Know all this what is your point mine is after watching and following First Class cricket for over 70 years our openers are of the Standard of John Rice and not Barry RIchards . Ali Orr is a slogger

I do not disagree with you but neither is Middleton Albert or Orr much better but Weatherly batted well in a couple of games last season before he broke his arm It is a problem the club must be aware of but as they have not recruited anybody we will have to accept the situation and live with it. Perhaps the club has no real interest in red ball cricket

As long as WindowCleaner keeps off the forum he really depressed me on Friday with his comments

Go for a draw and a win on Saturday

As a matter of interest how many of you posters were with me at the Final in 1976 I was also at the Semi Final when we were beaten by Man U 1 0 with a Dennis Law goal in a very disappointing performance in 1963 lL> km
