Hampshire CCC 2026

[Toadhall Saint]

Well I thought we had truly screwed that up - step forward an 18 year old and a big hitter - well done both! 

[Gloucester Saint]

Home QF and win over local rivals - nice.

So Wednesday vs Essex who are in form at the moment.

I wonder if there's any other sporting fixture that evening?

1630 tee time, according to the BBC fixtures. I wonder if that's been pegged for a while just in case, or if the games were brought forward after we beat Norway.

Looking forward to it - tickets are very well priced.

Dawson named in the 13. Neal and Orr probably the players not to make the 11.

Let’s hope they have a disappointing journey back in their Ford Capris.

Don't think Dawson has been released has he?

I don't know, he's in the list of 13 on the Hampshire site.

Yes but there is an asterisk by his name meaning subject to release by England.

Dont look like it

Music sounds really tinny.

Vincey has finally unpacked his golf clubs by the look of it.

Good score, aided and abetted by some very poor cricket from Essex. Awful bowling choices and two dropped catches.

Evening Major.

Now on to the football match ....

Evening Major

Notts in the semi it is then. Surrey probably should have chased that total down but they didn’t, I’d say I’m slightly happier with that.

 

On the other side, Somerset somehow chase down 162, having been 82-8 against Yorks. Overton came in and hit 79 off 30.

[Toadhall Saint]

Enjoyed that!

Come on Hampshire, cheer us up again after tonight’s football. Agree I’d rather Notts first than the Somerset bogey (bar the Rose Bowl final).

Yep all set for a good VB day. First one I haven’t been able to make in a few years! Aaarrrggh always a good day out! Can’t make the women’s tomorrow either! Still there’s always sky.

Oh and noticed Chris Lynn retired hurt for the Steelbacks yesterday. Hope he makes the game on Sat to put Somerset to the sword.

We went into a pub in Dulverton the year after the Rose Bowl and I was wearing my Hampshire shirt and cap. 🧢 

It started off as banter but got quite unpleasant during the course of being in there which was needless. Fair to say that if Hants don’t win then I really don’t want Somerset to!

Yeah I don’t get their beef with everyone - it’s a bit like small man syndrome. I suppose if all you have is a single sporting area then you get a bit more passionate about that single thing whereas most counties have other sporting avenues. The way they were going in about Overtons knock ( good as it was) was a bit weird - apparently he should be Ben Stokes’s replacement - I mean HC’s innings against Sussex was comparable.
