Minty Posted 17 May, 2010 Share Posted 17 May, 2010 Given our problem has mostly been (not) getting lower order batsmen out, who go on to make big scores, I'm not getting excited just yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 17 May, 2010 Share Posted 17 May, 2010 Well that's encouraging. Or are we about to see 24 wickets in one day, and fine for a poor pitch?!?!? Cynical? Me? About Hampshire this season? Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About Hampshire this season? Never. Just take a look at our batting line up. That should calm your nerves. Jimmy Adams hasnt got a score since the opening game and a mutual friend has told me that they have changed his backlift again. After his best season last year, you would have thought they would have left well alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Saint Posted 17 May, 2010 Share Posted 17 May, 2010 Was there today. Bowled pretty well but there was shodding fielding. Mullany was dropped three times, twice on 50 and once on 70odd, all of them off Balcombe, whose bowling was nowhere near as bad as the figures suggest.

bungle Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 Ervine left not out, so that's 237* and now 31*. Has to be moved up the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 Ervine left not out, so that's 237* and now 31*. Has to be moved up the order. Said that during the last game, he has batted at number 4 so why he is now at 7 I don't know other than maybe Pothas wants to take too much responsibility when being a wicketkeeper/ batsman and now captain is enough and indeed too much. I have a lot of time for Pothas but can think of very few captains who also keep wicket so I agree with Weston Saint in his "spring report" that Cork is an obvious choice if he plays or else maybe Carberry or Lumb when they return. Let Nic concentrate on his keeping in the field and nursing the tail at 7 though I know he likes to play his shots but hard to believe he should be ahead of Ervine. Anyway Notts just lost Shafayat caught and bowled by Tomlinson so 25/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born In The 80s Posted 19 May, 2010 Share Posted 19 May, 2010 Yet another very frustrating game! Really isn't looking good for us this year. Although funnilly enough i genuniely think we're 1 decent strike bowler away from being a very good 4 day side. Herath has been hugely disappointing for me. It's a shame because i reckon young Danny Briggs would have done just as good a job, if not better than Herath oer the last couple of games. If we'd have stuck with Briggs, and instead of Herath, added an overseas seamer with pace, i think we'd have had a couple of championship wins this season. Our bowling line up really lacks penetration and that is costing us when we need to knock over the tail quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bowling line up really lacks penetration and that is costing us when we need to knock over the tail quickly. Hindsight of course is a great thing but once we thought Tahir was not available surely a quick bowler was the best option, at least for the 1st half of the season. But then to replace Mendes with another spin bowler was definitely a mistake and one compounded by the fact he doesn't appear anything special. When Weston Saint compares him to Raj Maru ( a decent county player but no more) then I'm not inspired !! Oh to have someone even half as good as Andy Roberts ( somewhat ironic he rather controversially replaced a very good spin bowler in David O'Sullivan the year after we won the CC in 1973!) or Malcolm Marshall.
