The Cricket Thread 2015-16

Whiteley or bust, I would suggest. I don't see anything else in this Worcs line up.

 

If we get back on, then I'd be finishing Arafat's over and then getting Fidel straight back on for his 4th. Whilst D/L is in our favour, then play for it. Worcs' fault for having a ground with inadequate floodlights. (And for choosing to bowl first, when they'd have surely known it would risk batting in poor light).

 

Looks like a club from the south is going to make finals day this year. Hopefully kent can join you tomorrow.

 

Looks like its over.

 

Well done boys. 6th consecutive Finals Day is confirmed.

 

YES! Will be booking ticket for Edgbaston tomorrow.

 

Good win but not a good way to do it, didn't anyone tell Worcester and the cricket authorities that it gets darker earlier two minutes a night after June 21st?

 

Think wed have won anyway but Brum here we come

 

Excellent knock by James Vince. Well done Hampshire - now lets win it again !

 

Clear forecast for tomorrow.

Despite breaking his nose on Friday, Wood is in the squad (makes sense, it's not like a broken nose should impact his bowling). I'm guessing from our XI in our last one-day game, Ervine will come in for Briggs whilst Fidel might return for Berg (Ervine strengthening the batting means that Berg would no longer be needed to bat at no.7). So: Carberry, Adams, Wheater, Vince, Ervine, Dawson, Smith, Wood, Arafat, Crane, Fidel.

That's a solid looking one day team, to me. Only thing it lacks in a big hitting, clean striker at the back end of the innings. (I guess we could bring Ervine in after Dawson and Smith, to try and fill that role).

If we win, we will qualify for the QFs. At the same time, we will also move above Essex into second place, with each side then having one game each. And second place means a home QF.

 

Davies has missed stumping Wheater on 35 and 50.

 

Why does Vince come in at 4? ****ing stupid.

I thought he was married ?

 

need to win tomorrow or we'll probably be dumped out of the one day cup. i suppose a rain abandonment would be ok!

 

Anyone managed to get tickets for finals day yet. Why do counties get only 800 tickets when the ground holds 25000. Grrrr!

 

General sale on Thursday.

 

Thanks Tom.

 

Don't nick my ticket.

 

I need 3 both boys want to go. Fingers crossed.

 

James Anderson unavailable for final Test as unfit.
