In his post match interview Gubbins implied Tilak won't be available for the whole tournament.

Hants have signed Scotland all-rounder Brandon McMullen to play from Aug 13th.

A shame if true, he looks a useful batter in both CC and ODC matches.

A commentator today said he was only playing 3 matches.

Correct, he has one more game for us. 

Very professional win today. 

Every chance we will have Abbott again next season from what I have been told

Tilak is looking to get in the Indian side. Came to us via Deli Capitals management (our owners) but my indide contact does not know if he will be back next season. Very unusual to have an Indian player over here. Club find it very difficult to get good overseas players because of franchise cricket 🏏

Another terrific win,shout out to Joe Weatherly.  It is a real shame and worry that Tom Prest can barely buy a run.

It was a silly way to get out too, all we needed was to keep it ticking at a run a ball and he chips one up to mid-off. It's just not going for him this season.

Why the hell did we sign Baker ? Threw game away in the end. Feel sorry for Vince and Dawson.

Do you still have the samr opinion of him as I think he could make it on the Ashes tour this summer 

Captain Phil Salt compared 22-year-old fast bowler Sonny Baker to England great James Anderson after he shone in Manchester Originals' 10-run win over London Spirit at Old Trafford.

Baker began Spirit's chase of 164 with five dots and conceded only four runs when asked to bowl the first 10 deliveries.

He troubled two international greats in David Warner and Kane Williamson, who have a combined 38,000 international runs to their name, with swing and lively pace.

That helped limit the Spirit's scoring and, despite Australian Warner hitting 71, the hosts, who left out Anderson after defeats in their opening two games, were always in control.

Warner was caught down the leg side off England seamer Josh Tongue with 38 needed from 15 and Baker returned to dismiss Australia international Ashton Turner for 13 - a deserved reward for a fine spell that cost only 22 runs.

"He was outstanding," Salt told Sky Sports.

"Jimmy had a rest today but that is the closest to what he did, if not better. It will be hard to pick seamers for the next match."

Anderson also praised the highly-rated Baker, who was awarded an England development contract earlier this year despite having never played a County Championship match at that stage.

"I have seen a lot of footage of Baker but not seen a lot of him live," Anderson told Sky Sports. "I have been so impressed.

"Tonight he bowled outstandingly well. He has got pace, skill, swings the ball both ways. He has a lot going for him."

It's crazy how quickly some people write players off tbh.... I agree he could will end up fast tracked into the England squad, but he's still raw so I'd hope not tests just yet.  Maybe T20s.  With his pace though England will be all over him

Hopefully he stays free of injuries and doesn't get derailed like Turner has in the last few years

Poor batting performance, Prest had a chance to atone for his wretched season so far and blew it yet again. [ I like him as a player,but why is he unable to play much longer innings ?].

Worrying that Weatherly couldn't finish his innings with a hand injury.

 

Ball seemed to hit him on the wrist. 

Other than that not much to be said about yesterday's game. Their seam quintet was too good for our batting and our bowling wasn't good enough to challenge them with such a faible total to defend.

Quick'ish seam bowling does seem to present us with a problem on occasions. Not much spin to slog yesterday.

Wheal and Abbott back in the squad for tomorrow. Not surprising, no Weatherly

Is it possible for Hants to play Albert if he doesn't feature in the Hundred? It was possible in some previous years.

Well that didn't take long!

He's in the squad to play Ireland as well.  I suspect he won't play against SA but will probably get a game against Ireland

At the Oval today for our game, can confirm Manny Lumsden is FAST! :lol:

Decent bowling conditions, warm and muggy, and Surrey's lineup is pretty inexperienced - only Burns, Foakes and Green with any real pedigree.

Lets hope we can stay in top 2 and if possible take top spot from Gloucestershire who we still have to play away. [ Have to beat Notts and Derbyshire as well which will not be easy.]

Surrey don't seem to take this competition very seriously. Batting and bowling today public rec standard. 

If they're consistent about it I suppose it doesn't much matter. They had quite a good crowd in though today, bit of an affront to them to play so poorly.

Another Gubbins masterclass as we get to 290/7.

His scores in this competition this year: 144*, 40, 60, 81, 87* and 144* averaging a frankly ludicrous 185.33 :lol:

Spinners seemed to keep the score down in the middle overs, so hopefully Neal and Organ can replicate what their Notts counterparts managed - I think our seamers are better than theirs, so that could be the difference.

Notts have a strong top 6,probably why they prefer to chase. I texted Weston Saint who is at the game and said I thought we might need 325 plus,very sadly I think that might be proved right.

Seems that our seamers weren't better than theirs. Jack very expensive. Why no Fuller ?

On another note Prest continues his train-wreck of a season.
