The Cricket Thread

Blimey I go out to play tennis and it's wickets galore!

 

And 1 down 9 to go.

 

Almost unplayable conditions.

 

Surrey getting a taste of their own medicine.

 

Great way to finish

 

Apparently Surrey are talking to the BCCI about getting Ashwin to play for them vs Somerset next week, as an injury replacement for Jamieson.

Unless Surrey avoid defeat tomorrow, it's a signing which wouldn't help them. But it could just hurt Somerset.

 

I don't mind Hampshire, Somerset or Gloucs ..... but wishing Surrey well?

 

Single or double backhand. Grass, clay or hard? I love the clay and hard court.

 

That's Virdi dispatched quickly.

 

That's probably the first session of the match which Surrey have won.

 

Fair play to Amla who's literally given no chances at all. Abbott dropped a sharp caught and bowled chance off Patel but other than that he's been rock solid. Forecast looks ok for the rest of day though so still a decent chance of a Hants win.

 

Yeah can't really blame Abbott for that drop. It was the Weatherley drop of Patel in the following over which was the bad one.

 

Oh, missed that one.

 

So did Joe....

 

Today, unlike yesterday, those showers seem to be passing north of The Bowl.

 

Lots of rain in Cheltenham over the next 2 days would be great.

 

Nice one

 

Timber!

 

Smith matches Amla's score in one ball.

 

Phew
