Abbott added to the group for today's match, Hope he plays. From the named 13, Organ and Petrie would be the obvious non starters.

Baker gets important wickets t'is true. I think LS were desperate for runs and had to try to hit him anyway. I looked at the scores LS looked to be always behind the RRR.

Oh no it isn't !

That's right. The Hundred has distanced itself from regular cricket. I don't care, can't follow it anyway,well apart from looking at the scores.

I expect him to get the équivalent of a slap on the wrists. A fine,perhaps a few games ban and a bit more suspended.

Hopefully we'll not see Petrie bowling ever again, well not in List A cricket anyway. Need to find an alternative bowler for Kelly as well. There were players rested though so might be OK for the next match. Sharma and Neal dug us out of a hole. Good spell from Prest to add to his century. Williams at least looked competent.

Neal and Sharma look alright, but we'll have to find a solution when their overs are up.

Any chance of rain, bad light etc? Or even finding a bloke in the crowd with a Hants shirt who bowls a bit ? Shameful recruitment. WTF is going on at HCCC?

Nope were probably not going to win this. Bowling isn't good enough.

Good score from Hants. May well need all of it though. Petrie looks utter rubbish.

Not a great start 68/3. Wicket looks a bit playful.

Wow, Gubbins out leaving a ball that jagged back from outside off to hit leg stump. Couple of nice shots from Orr.

Yes, the foul by Paredes on Olmo was a straight red in any other match, well apart from this World Cup. It's just not understandable really. Something rotten in the state of FIFA.

Spain and Portugal perhaps, Morocco? Well their comportement was less than ideal in the last tournament they hosted.

England probably wouldn't have beaten Spain, final would have been less violent though. Awful reffing but that's one of the stand out points of this WC. The refs can't all be that incompetent so must have been obeying guidelines.

Right, on to the One Day Cup. 3 games next week, starting tuesday. Presume Gubbins is captaining the side once again and there will be a lot of first teamers not involved at the start. Looking forward to it really, I like this competition.

Collapsed at the end, just like Northants.

So 170 to get, should be doable.

You have to wonder what exactly was the reasoning of asking us to bat first. Weak bowling getting slammed .

Bugger ! Albert gone second ball.

Or perhaps not... Low scoring wicket then.

Somerset heading for the final.

Chalobah was a good player when Pochettino used him correctly.

Got it all wrong from the moment England scored.

Well,.........
