    Yeah, but he's more of a batsman. Didn't he suffer from depression at some point as well? Got huge respect for the guy.

    Would take a monumental effort from the Sussex tail end now to see us relegated.

    I'm trying not to get excited yet ...

    If this was a one day match, Yorkshire would have a 99.999999999999% WASP rating of winning....relax Sam

    What a monumental escape this appears to be, because to my mind Hampshire were doomed a long time ago. And then so were Leicester City in April so there are parallels across different sports.

    It's going to be a ****ing strong Division One next season with 8 of the 9 teams boasting International Test grounds.

    I'd rather compare it to the Saints of old, when we beat Everton on the final day to stay up. :)

    PompeyMeowth is not going to be too happy!

    Well done Hants, That was a terrific effort to stay up after such a poor start to the season. The top order cannot be as bad as they were this season and we look to have a strong bowling line up now... Can't wait for next season!

    Talk about the Great Escape ! Well done Hampshire in the end to avoid the drop by the skin of their teeth. Also many thanks to Yorkshire CC - Bresnan, Brooks and Rashid in particular for playing like champions on the final day of the season to bowl our Sussex.
    Our batting in particular is going to have be consistently much better next season.
    Phew !

    We owe Fidel off the Richter Scale. He's the main reason we stayed up, followed by Berg.
