    Very impressed with our young lads' mentality at the death.

    It's certainly not out of reach and we do love a run chase.

    The Gloucestershire commentary was so smug in their innings that this feels quite good (at the moment).

    This is a serious chase so far. Brilliant.

    Match commentators are making me appreciate how fair our lot are. This lot are doing my head in.

    Jamo has his moments though.

    Kevan is one of the best commentators on the county circuit. And the various women who are often involved, the likes of Melissa and Emily, have all gone onto work for TMS.

    Dave was awful, but thankfully Solent don't use him anymore.

    Dave the Skate did my head in, "I'm from Pompey, don't you know?"

    "That was a great cover drive from Ben Brown. It reminds me of a cover drive I saw John Smith play once in 1962 at Portsmouth. I remember it because that game saw two solid days of rain. Did you know that John Smith once went 82 consecutive balls without scoring a run."

    5 minutes later, and everyone else has fallen asleep whilst he's still banging on.

    Derby are going OK in their chase (just in case we do need a favour from them). But they can't afford the required rate to get much higher.

    Don't they? They're more than halfway after less than 30 overs which is where they say you should double your score.

    The way things currently stands, the KO stages could be Warks v Hants (winner to play away to Yorks) and Somerset v Gloucs (winner to play away to Worcs).

    But obviously still far from certain, with so many live matches.

    I really enjoy our lot. And they often have someone from the opposing team drop in for parts of the commentary.


    I have the match on the tv while working, so mainly just listening. I looked around a while ago to see we had just scored a six. The commentary had given no clue this had happened!

    Ah, that would have helped. I'm just looking at the score on the BBC Sport website.

    Wouldn't we be home, finishing 2nd?

    No. The Bowl isn't available on Thursday, due to the Brave. So we have to be away if we finish 2nd.
