3 reverse sweep 4s in a row for Holland.

 

Similar to the point I was making above although I forgot that 1 bowling point at 3 wkts not 4. Current scoring rate is just under 3.2. They'll need to get the rate up a bit and not wanting to chase the 5th batting point at a risk of gifting Glos a bowling point. A timely 15 off one over, Worral's bowling earlier did look like they just wanted to minimize the run rate.

 

Hailing at the Oval

 

CDG would naturally score at a quicker rate although there would be a new ball to negotiate.

 

There's absolutely no need to force things at the moment. We're ticking along nicely and with the short boundaries it will be be quite easy to pick up the scoring rate later on if we keep wickets in hand.

 

There ends the partnership.

 

And Weatherley nicks off for 78.

 

Here we go...

 

Boo!

 

It would be nice Gubbins, if you could score some runs rather than block every single ball.

 

Whilst it was always nice to have that outside of making 400-2, it almost makes it easier for the batters now that we can't. They can just focus on batting, and forcing a win.

 

Gubbins making Amla's innings last week look attacking.

 

Wahoo he's off the mark!!!

 

It's getting to the stage where I want Gubbins out.

 

More like it.

 

8 off 60 balls. Jesus ****ing christ. Is he trying not to get his move to Hampshire or something?

 

This has a nothing session for Hants. Should be well ahead by now and now Prest has gone. Thank you Gubbins, thank you very much.

 

This is all on Gubbins. He needs to make a score now.

 

Gubbins being a twat is really threatening our strong position in this match. He gets out now and he can **** off back to Middlesex quite frankly.

 

Glad to see Gubbins has gone up a couple of gears.
