Hampshire batting first Adams and Smith opening 16 - 0 6 overs

 

SL 47-2 after 14 overs.

 

Important that we put runs on the board. Firstly to build some confidence in the batting. Secondly because our bonus points tally is awful. Thirdly because the weather looks poor for Tues & Weds, so in all possibility this game could be about nothing more than bonus points.

 

50 for Adams. Well played Jimmy, needed a score.

 

Rather unusually he's been fairly rapid. 10 fours with a strike rate of 61.

 

Our batting has been so poor this season, that that season makes me slightly uneasy!

But I did say before a ball was bowled this season that Somerset were my favourites for relegation this season, because on paper they have the weakest bowling attack in the division.

Fingers crossed that Jimmy can make a 100 from here. Early days, but Alsop is looking promising again.

 

No hundred for Adams.

 

SL 248-9 after 50 overs.

 

Should get that . Duckworth Lewis may come into play . Covers coming on .

 

Noooooooooooooo! That was my afternoon planned. I blame people for putting their umbrellas up...bunch of wussies.

 

They seem to be suggesting it's just drizzle at the moment .

 

150 up, just as Notts go 4 down. All god so far.

 

If god plays for you, you are on a cert.

 

****ing hell Hampshire. Useless bunch of twats.

 

Well the good batting was nice whilst it lasted. 166-2 becomes 189-7.

Top decision to drop Wheater.

 

Lap of honour for a batting point?

 

England 1-1 .........

 

Rain stopped play.

 

Pathetic batting from Hants...we are going down through lack of bonus points.

 

I really, really hope that the radio have got it wrong when they say that Wheater has been dropped, as opposed to injured. There is no way that Smith, Benks and White can justify dropping Wheater.
