Essex again showing how much they rely on Chelmsford to get their results. We have ourselves a Roses SF. Both group games between them were great, as they so often are.
Actually I've never come across much trouble at Portsmouth. The only time I've witnessed trouble was the two times Farnborough played woking. Yes, football is way more tribal but not just that, in my experience football fans are a lot more angry. Like they'll swear, they'll get really irate by whatever and it's like take a chill pill, you're gonna give yourself a heart attack. Maybe because cricket is a slower sport it just encourages people to be calmer. Also I could never imagine cricket fans chanting ****er at the umpire. But I suppose it helps there is an effective and we'll established video review system. But no way would I have so obviously celebrated at a football game on my own when surrounded by thousands of away fans. Maybe non-league, but the crowds tend to be in the hundreds there.
Well I’m ST Saints & T20 Passport. Seen all the T20 home games & sat around singing Hants supporters & away fans. No animosity, no sniping & if anything, general laughter on both sides & of course spontaneous singing with the music. I always come away from the Bowl, win or lose with a general sense of pleasure. Youngsters playing cricket on the terraces, families, lads being lads but not louts & definitely lots of beer. Ps. Love football but the “terraces” & crowd are miles different. Just my opinion tho. Ps. Visit, highly recommended. The T20 passport cost £99 which works out £14 per game.
Blimey . Has the pressure of Captain got to Buttler ? I know he has been vice captain , but now it’s all on him . And Roy ???
