Blimey I go out to play tennis and it's wickets galore!

Almost unplayable conditions.

Surrey getting a taste of their own medicine.

 

[st_brendy]

Great way to finish

Apparently Surrey are talking to the BCCI about getting Ashwin to play for them vs Somerset next week, as an injury replacement for Jamieson.

Unless Surrey avoid defeat tomorrow, it's a signing which wouldn't help them. But it could just hurt Somerset.

 

[The Ides of March]

Because of our awful head-to-head with Somerset, our dream scenario would be wins for us and Gloucs, but not for Somerset. Then with us beating Gloucs, and Surrey beating Somerset - but with Gloucs picking up sufficiently more bonus points than Somerset, to finish ahead of them.

It's very unlikely to happen - partly because rain could deny us tomorrow, but mainly because I think Gloucs would need five more bonus points than Somerset next week (which is very difficult to do in defeat) - but it could happen.

I don't mind Hampshire, Somerset or Gloucs ..... but wishing Surrey well?

Single or double backhand. Grass, clay or hard? I love the clay and hard court.

That's Virdi dispatched quickly.

That's probably the first session of the match which Surrey have won.

Fair play to Amla who's literally given no chances at all. Abbott dropped a sharp caught and bowled chance off Patel but other than that he's been rock solid. Forecast looks ok for the rest of day though so still a decent chance of a Hants win.

Yeah can't really blame Abbott for that drop. It was the Weatherley drop of Patel in the following over which was the bad one.

Oh, missed that one.

So did Joe....

Today, unlike yesterday, those showers seem to be passing north of The Bowl.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Lots of rain in Cheltenham over the next 2 days would be great.

 

[st_brendy]

Nice one

 

[tomw24]

Timber!

Smith matches Amla's score in one ball.

Phew
