H 247-8. Win by 2 wickets. Never in doubt. Now we just need the same level of commitment from our youngsters tomorrow.
That should do so much for Albert's confidence, and hopefully career. Match winning innings, when things looked very desperate.
Yes, this, actually all Hants teams in any competition, have the fortitude to never give up. Brilliant, time after time. PS. I won’t add the obvious about another team!
Just seen match report & HCC have 20 wins out of 22 games (all format). Can’t quite believe that! Amazing.
We've won every game since that start to the t20, except for Surrey in the t20 and Essex in the Championship.
Those first 15 balls put us 10 runs behind, and we never managed to get them back. But even so, I'd have still backed us if we'd got our batting order right. David and Fuller should have been swapped around - David's strength is the death. If he's batting in those last 15 balls, he probably wins it.
Lancs on Sunday will possibly be our hardest game of the group. They're still relatively strong, in comparison to most teams. (Don't get me wrong, they've still been massively weakened by the 100. But their squad is deep.) But that game is no longer important in terms of qualifying. Important in terms of winning the group and going straight through to the SFs, but not for securing a top three finish. There's a fair chance that we'll only need to win one of our last four to achieve that (especially it comes against Glamorgan). At the absolute maximum, we'll need two wins from four.
Lancashire clearly taking their lead from the Man United playbook. They're currently 7-3, with all 7 'runs' coming from extras.
