The Ashes & Hampshire Cricket Summer Thread

We lost to Essex twice in 2010, only to beat them in the SFs that year.

The next QF is the complete opposite to this one for me. Should we win tomorrow then I would love to face the winner of Northants-Durham.

 

And there's the first wicket - Roy goes for 28. Now what's going to happen?

 

Brilliant catch yes, but that is why Roy is little more than a pinch hitter still. It should have never even entered his mind to be going for a big shot in that direction, given both the position Surrey are in here and the massive distance of the boundary rope away from the wicket.

 

Davies goes! Same old Surrey!

 

The forecast seems to have improved for tomorrow so should get a full 20 over game in at the Ageas Bowl.

 

Huge over. Surrey bang in control now.

 

All three wickets thrown away.

In this position, someone like McKenzie would have never thrown his wicket away like that.

 

Doesn't matter really. Surrey cruising.

 

KP potentially off to Finals Day then.

 

Meh, good old Dawson will get him for a golden duck again if we play them.

 

Northants could really do with getting a move on here. And with all 10 wickets left, there's little excuse not to.

 

And Onions has bowled his 4 overs as well.

 

I did wonder when Willey might start to open his arms, considering he's surely only opening as a pinch hitter, in Levi's absence.

 

Safe to say that they're getting their move on!

 

Yep! 3 6's in an over can safely be classified as getting a move on!

 

Durham won't chase 180+ down, not with Azahrullah to bowl 4 overs. Need a good finish here to keep the score down.

 

Oh well done Durham bring a spinner on with a few overs left. Great idea!

 

I called this at the start of the over. What on earth was Colly thinking bowling Borthwick, considering the damage done to Breese during the last over from that end.

 

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. That was not clever to bring Borthwick on.

 

And Rushworth can't bowl his 4 overs either. What a monumental screw up!
