Lets B Avenue Posted 3 August, 2014 Share Posted 3 August, 2014 Notts 197/2 With bowling like ours we might have well stayed at home, never improves season on season, never will I guess. You really are a tedious grump aren't you? If you had watched the game you would have seen Patel and Hales hit perfectly decent bowling for sixes, which they have been doing to all sides this year, aided by a ridiculously short boundary. Their bowling was far worse but I doubt that shows up on Ceefax. Well done boys. Great win. Now to decide where I am on the 23rd. We don't win at Edgbaston.

Weston Saint Posted 3 August, 2014 Author Share Posted 3 August, 2014 Thought we let Notts get about 20 too many but proved wrong. How important was that drop when Vince was on 20. It came hard to Hales but he should have held it. We are without Maxwell (not a big loss on this years form and Shah should be available) and Abbott for finals but we have a good squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Stickman Posted 3 August, 2014 Share Posted 3 August, 2014 I’m absolutely delighted with that win; the way we held our nerve during that run chase was fantastic! Does anyone know whether Hampshire will get an allocation of tickets for Finals Day that will go on general sale to non-members, or is it best for me to try to get tickets direct from Edgbaston etc?

saint_jas Posted 3 August, 2014 Share Posted 3 August, 2014 Good win for Hants today. Decided to support them rather than Notts!!! (on loan from Somerset for one day) Vince played very well.

wadesmith Posted 3 August, 2014 Share Posted 3 August, 2014 Had to listen to it on5 live. There was the usual anti Hants attitude ( god knows why this is) it was like a wake after the game. 30 mins post mortem of how Notts lost the game. Interviewd a couple of Notts players. I think the may have mentioned us just before finishing the show. God knows what sky will be like with David Lloyd & us playing Lancs! 5 finals on the trot, amazing achievement! Imagine if Surrey or Yorkshire had achieved this, youd never hear the end of it! (yes i do have a chip on my shoulder!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Surrey or Yorkshire had achieved this, youd never hear the end of it! (yes i do have a chip on my shoulder!) Sky are generally pretty good about Hampshire and today was no exception. Lot's of praise towards the boys and general recognition of what an achievement it is getting to the 5th finals day in a row. It helps having Corky on the team though! Vince batted quite beautifully on a flat pitch which offered nothing for the bowlers. We didn't bowl well, but then again they bowled worse - what was Gurney thinking?? Who do you guys think we should replace Maxwell and Abbott with for finals day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 3 August, 2014 Share Posted 3 August, 2014 I dis get a bit nervousness when smith faced three Dot balls . I was shouting at the tv to him , hit so we could get Vince down the other end .

Coles seems to blow hot and cold. Sadly, none of our bowlers seem to be performing well tonight, although I'm only following the match on cricinfo so maybe I'm doing the Leicestershire batsman a disservice Edit: Hang on, looks like I was doing a disservice to Tomlinson and Smith!

stevegrant Posted 7 August, 2014 Share Posted 7 August, 2014 I thought that D/L due to the rain delay favoured Hants, but may be not. Likewise, having scored less than 6 an over in the 50, it seemed a bit harsh to make Leicestershire chase at nearly 8, but looks like we bowled pretty poorly overall.

Halo Stickman Posted 8 August, 2014 Share Posted 8 August, 2014 Another 50 for Sean Terry, this time against Northants. I seem to recall he finished last season with 2 successive 50s; if so, then that’s 4 in a row for the first eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
