The Cricket Thread

Same illness which put him out of the Middlesex game I would expect.

Hopefully Dawson can replicate his one day form from last season.

 

I can still see us falling short of 300 from here. Probably need an over of 15 - 20 runs to get us there.

 

I think we'll make 300-320.

 

Slug needed this knock, after his start to the t20s. Need him to turn up in limited overs cricket in the next few weeks without Vince.

 

Another few of those please Gareth.

 

Well done Daws. Score on the board.

 

Hants finish on 310/4. Excellent.

 

Well, got that bang on! Right in the middle.

 

I'm interested to see how Stevenson goes with the ball. Given that he can hold a bat, he could turn out to be a useful replacement for Wood if he can do the job with the ball. And he also has a chance of jumping ahead of Best, and maybe even Andrew, in the t20 pecking order. (At the moment I have him and Crane dropping out for Sammy and Afridi).

 

Needed that wicket. Real chance now.

 

And similarly, needed that wicket. Pretty much all down to Foster now.

 

Thank **** Zaidi's out.

 

What a win for Somerset.

 

Should be Essex's game now.

 

Why? Still need 18 off 12.

 

Not when I had posted, it was 14 off 11. And now it's a stroll.

 

Get rid of Andrew. He's useless.

 

Not a time to concede runs like that Berg.

 

We've been hurt by that stupid ECB rule. We badly needed McLaren in that bowling attack.

 

I agree that it's stupid. But we knew all about the rule. We choose to go with Sammy and Afridi.

Still another three one-day matches to come yet until we can play him.
