The Cricket Thread

As long as it doesn't bring rain or bad light of course....

 

Sibley gone early.

 

Mahoosive wicket, Sibley gone cheaply caught behind off Abbott.

 

That'll teach me for writing a bigger post than I needed to...

 

Well that was a rather daft shot!

 

Start delayed at Edgbaston, not due to start until 12:10. It was a huge risk batting on so long yesterday unnecessarily considering today's weather forecast and time will tell if Northeast ****ed it up I suppose. I'm obviously hoping that our bowling attack continue to come up with the answers.

 

Wicket already!

 

Rain delay at Taunton as well.

 

4 down, 6 to go now.

 

That's 3 wickets in 20 minutes for Hants. #onfire

 

Ok, Northeast is a genius...5 down now!....

 

Taking lunch at Taunton, inspection at 1pm.

 

Further inspection at 1:30pm

 

They'll surely call it a draw. No chance that game ends in a result.

 

I suppose Surrey could declare and ask Somerset to get say 180 in 50 overs but that’s unlikely!

A draw isn’t the end of the world, I think we have 6 points so far, so we should stay top. Shame to miss the opportunity of beating a contender though.

 

Hampshire are 1 wicket away from going top.
Edit: Didn't factor in the points you'll get for a draw.

 

Hampshire win by 314 runs.

 

Won by 314 runs

 

Good performance from Hants, we look an all-round solid outfit this season and could well challenge at the top.
