Leicestersaint Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 I couldn't get to Lords but have watched it all day on the box. A really great result - and a great team effort. Well done Hampshire - real skill, dedication and effort - how I wish Saints could emulate our great cricket team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal Saint Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Think Saints can learn from Hampshire. Several times today they said how Warn made them tougher and more competative. Use to be Happy Hampshre but now a lean machine. Really hope Pardew can do the same for us. We really need to get that killer instinct!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it to Ron Posted 25 July, 2009 Share Posted 25 July, 2009 Just got back from a fantastic day at Lords, we outplayed them in every department. Was brilliant keeping in touch with SMS and hearing us going 1 up 2 up and win 3-0, Loads of Saints and Skates intermingled....shame about the Sussex(Brighton fans) numpties throwing bottles and glasses on the way back to the tube...poor losers.

saint1977 Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 Got back an hour ago. Awesome day out. Seemed to be more Saints than Skates at Lords plus Band played OWTS during lunch break. Bloody sun burnt now though :-( Yep, I got burnt sitting in the top level of the Edrich stand. Good friendly banter between us and the skates but never any whiff of trouble. Great performance by Hants, Sussex packed their side full of batters but that left a dreadful bowling attack bar Kirtley and Arafat so Sussex needed 300 bare minimum to have any chance of winning and 325-350+ to be in the box seat. Cork, Dimi and Tremlett were superb - Tremlett should be included as cover for Thursday as he would cause the Australians problems, Sussex got hit quite a few times and he was very hard to score off. The fielding was tremendous and the effort was summed up by Ervine hitting the boundary boards. Didn't see any trouble from the Sussex fans walking back towards Baker St but a number of their lads were very well oiled and the potential was there after a poor Sussex performance.

I was sat there aswell, and i am burned to crisp, mainly down my left side which is nice..... Loved the banter and chanting we got going towards the end though, i LOL'd but didnt approve of the bloke behind me launching a bit of fruit at the steward (who were being pain in the asses all day) Would go again without doubt, there was always a chance of it turning and kicking off IMO, especially down at the Champagne bar near the nursery ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness if it floats your boat then fine. Cricket doesn't really do much for me but fair play to everyone there - it sounds like you had a good time.

rallyboy Posted 26 July, 2009 Share Posted 26 July, 2009 well I'm happy to combine the two, proud to see Hampshire win at Lords and I came home with red and white legs. My mate was in his Saints shirt, only got abuse a couple of times but while they were up there giving him stick their sisters must have been enjoying a day of not being 'bothered' back home in the caravan.

I've been a massive Saints and Hampshire fan for 30 years but football was always more important to me than the cricket. Have to say that view has changed as football has changed over the years and can now honestly say it's the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
