It’s a new low isn’t it - Holland is not a great cricketer, although it was not long ago we thought he was a div1 opening batsman as well.

Season needs to end - it’s becoming saints in the prem esque, hopefully we adopt to div2 like saints did in the Championship 

He’s alright, won a national talent competition in Aus. Dobber with the ball, effective in autumnal conditions, and a handy bat.

Better professional than most of the Hants squad atm.

Would you believe we’ve actually just put in the best D1 batting display of the morning. 🤣

 

Essex are 101-8, Glamorgan 110-5, Notts 69-3 and Yorks 93-5.

Finally made 214. Seemingly the toss is décisive in these September conditions. A couple of our early outs did nothing wrong really but the first 10 overs or so are tough going, even with dobbers like Holland, if it's straight and does a bit off the wicket batting becomes a lottery. Then it gets much easier.

Leics 244 all out. Frankly our bowling this morning was at best lacklustre.

A couple of fairly adjacent looking lbw décisions didn't go our way and the bowlers concerned looked a bit discouraged after. But those decisions are impossible to tell without the video.

Wicket looks to have become really docile and the Hants bowlers will have to work hard to get us the win.

Just now we seem to be trying to buy wickets but we'll probably need to tighten up some of the short stuff if and when they get past 100/1 or so.

Batting culpable once again. 245-3 to 363 all out is pretty dismal. 

To bé expected with a tail that starts at 6.

Now leaking too many runs. Lumsden too erratic and Organ is a part time spinner, part time batter too!

Needs to be a huge clear out - majority of the squad and batters bar Lehmann, possibly Gubbins. Weatherley and Albert are ok for white ball contracts. New skipper, new Head Coach, new DoC. Board needs a major overhaul as well.

All that's not going to happen. It'll be roughly the same next season with Patel and Hudson-Prentice in and any out of contracts (maybe) out.Attitude seems to be that D1 is too intense so let's see what happens in D2.

Good news is that Lehmann seems to be staying. Gubbins will open with Patel.

Probably right, although very unimpressed with Domingo. Shit squad but there were other shit squads this season but those counties looked like they had a bit of a plan and some individual coaching to mask shortcomings. Can’t see the side being competitive in any competition for a good few years.

Indeed a very disappointing season.

I think we need a specific bowling coach, don't think we actually have one.

Ah apparently we do...
