So, some changes today. No Dawson, Jack or Lehmann. Currie, Middleton and Organ added.

Won toss, put Glamorgan into bat first.

Another fantastic bit of captancy by Ben Brown. The pitch looks a belter to bat on, especially in these conditions.

I doubt that Brown decides all by himself.

Theory seems to be that with a bit more grass left on the strip our bowlers should take davantage.

Carberry says that the bowling is too inconsistant to trouble Glamorgan overmuch. Still they got Tribe,out from a silly swish.

This is poor from Hants.

Has Dawson been dropped or injured? I know he hasn't started the season that well, but big call if he has been dropped.

Injured. Apparently has been for a while but today, although named in the side, couldn't play.

Makes a change though. À bowling shambles instead of a batting shambles.

That is yet to come.

A Utilita shirtfront. Important thing is beat the follow on when we bat and take our time. No T20 crap.

On this surface, we should be expecting a couple of hundreds and at least two 50s from the top six, in additions to contributions further down. That needs to be set as a minimum standard in the dressing room as their attack isn’t especially potent. I’d seriously question if any of the top 6 have a future at the club if that can’t be done. 

Lehmann has had to go home so he can’t prop them up this time. 

Ben Brown is a shit captain though. Needs another ton to stay in the team and I hope Russell Domingo tells him that.

You know your on trouble when you have to start bowling Organ. Been pretty ineffective, but could say that for all the bowlers really bar Abbott and Baker.
