Somerset get just a 4 point deduction for a game that lasted  for  just 156 overs and during which 35 wickets fell. Hampshire have a game which lasts 209 overs for 31 wickets and the runs per wicket were similar and yet  Somerset  get 4 points suspended and a 4 point deduction,we get an 8 point deduction, why ? 

Hampshire had a previous poor pitch in last 24 months so got 8 point deduction, which is the normal. They are also now on a suspended 24 point deduction for any further offence during 2026. Believe it or not Somerset was first offence for last 24 months so got 4 of the 8 points deducted suspended.  

Case Outcome: Hampshire CCC

Case outcome: Somerset CCC

Thanks Ron.

The women have lost their final. Just need Hants relegation for a full house.

Didn't see the game on Saturday but batting first in a rain reduced limited overs game rarely leads to success.

Seems to be the same problem we've had all season, we're a decent bowler short for one reason or another.

As I said during the first game actually played of the season, my preferred dose of Wheal is absolutely none whatsoever. A very undisciplined bowler, short and wide most of the time. He should be cut loose to go and play for Scotland second XI or something.

As far as the point's deduction is concerned, well we've got previous as they say in some circles. I think we may need to reassess the number of matches played at the Utilita. There are obviously far too many for a quality wicket each time.

No idea if it'll be any good and I don't know Rich Edwards so have no skin in the game here, but just seen that a new subscription-based Hampshire cricket news service has just launched: https://thehawk.counterpress.media/

£5 a month, will be interesting to see how it goes. He's certainly right when he says that coverage of the domestic game is pretty thin on the ground these days so there's definitely space for something like this if it's done well.

Does anyone subscribe to this and have any feedback? He certainly seems to put out quite a lot of content and is close to the club/squad.

The club coverage is pretty limited apart from the X updates during matches.

We do not seem to have any young seam bowlers who are regularly particularly accurate
