Hampshire CCC 2026

[Gloucester Saint]

Neither of our overseas players have turned up today really, whereas at least McSweeney made some runs in their innings and Lynn in their SF.

We were getting back into it, possibly on top, there and see them worrying. Idiotic, same brain farts we’ve seen in the One Day Cup finals repeatedly.

The run was on, Dawson was three quarters of the way down the pitch before he was made to turn around.

Weatherley could have cost us (in the same way I thought Baker had earlier!).

He knows what he needs to do then.

Oh well if nothing else it’s fucking entertaining 

[Gloucester Saint]

Fuck!

[Lighthouse]

Why the f**k would a #9 bowler try and pull that off!?

[whelk]

That’s that then. Fuck but FairPlay to Northhants

Yes, they’ve been the best side in the whole competition this year but another Hampshire choke on top of the two stupid throwaways in the One Day Cup finals when well on top. Weak mentality.

Not least when the guy at the other end 75* and having scored nearly 200 runs in the day.

Collapsed at the end, just like Northants.

Power play killed us there - I think as it was a low-ish total they didn’t really go for it up front - backfired as they were chasing 20 odd runs from that point and lost 2 wickets.

None of the big hitters did anything - Vince, Stubbs, Fuller never looking in it, Cartwright done as he was trying to hit everything to get us back on track. 
Daws being run out was massive, probably not a run there though.
Now to watch England lose to complete the day !

[Window Cleaner]

Right, on to the One Day Cup. 3 games next week, starting tuesday. Presume Gubbins is captaining the side once again and there will be a lot of first teamers not involved at the start. 

Looking forward to it really, I like this competition.

[Hodgey]

Me too - and with our young team it’s a chance for talent to be exposed in a lower pressure / quality environment but a step up from reserves.

Shame that Lumsden and Jack are in the blast, unless they actually get used. I also heard James talk about Turner suggesting there is a big debate on rehab vs surgery with him preferring the former but continually breaking down - sad to see.

As a summary for the T20, another excellent season, Albert has sadly done a Prest - from top scorer to utterly awful stats but Currie continues to improve, Mayes looks like a talent and has more experience, Baker improved drastically as the tournament went on, Lumsden looks handy and came back well from a thumping, Weatherly is now a top T20 player, Vince/Dawson have another couple of seasons in them. Although Wood produced decent figures I think this should be his last season - if so shame he doesn’t go out with a win.

Overseas we would want Cartwright back - excellent fielder and batter. Stubbs is a strange one - stared really well then went backwards but is clearly a quality player - maybe a batting wkt instead to replace Albert.  And in an ideal world another spinner, that’s something we need to find for 4 dayers anyway.

For the One day cup Williams and Petrie have been promoted from the 2nds as primarily fast bowlers. Ashutosh Sharma is Hants overseas player recruited through DC connections.

The T20 players are being rested. Hopefully Prest and Middleton can improve on early season form.

Hopefully Petrie dishes up some clean overs.
