Strange thing with that suicidal run is that there's only one ball of the over left. Surely Billings shouldn't have sacrificed the wicket to face one ball, and potentially be off strike for the next over?
 
Yes, we have won a trophy this season, now let's do the white ball double.

Good all round performance today with much improved fielding.
Hants are the best white ball squad in the country and everybody that has been involved in this campaign has played an important role at some point and that is particularly pleasing to me because the young home grown products have all stepped up.
 
The final competition stats for us:

BATTING

Northeast 133 runs @ 133
Vince 527 runs @ 59
Alsop 248 runs @ 50
Rilee 394 runs @ 44
Berg 163 runs @ 41
Amla 109 runs @ 36
Weatherley 250 runs @ 36
Dawson 101 runs @ 34
Taylor 155 runs @ 31
Adams 142 runs @ 28
McManus 140 runs @ 28

BOWLING

Dawson 7 wickets @ 21
Crane 15 wickets @ 29
Fidel 4 wickets @ 21
Berg 13 wickets @ 37
Topley 7 wickets @ 42
Taylor 6 wickets @ 49
Wood 6 wickets @ 54
Steyn 3 wickets @ 57

Multiple contributions, but certainly Dawson and Northeast returned from injury just in time!

And whilst we lose Steyn and Crane for the t20s that start this coming week, we gain Mujeeb, Munro and Abbott.

Do tell us Tom? Don´t tell me the ultras of Pompey and SFC unite to take on the might of WBA, Wolves, Villa and Birmingham City at Edgbaston?
Let's put it this way. A 10 hour day, unlimited supplies of alcohol, Andrew Flintoff and Bumble doing the karaoke dressed as Elvis and a pod that flings people 50 feet into the air. Let's just say it wouldn't be Boycott's cup of tea. <laugh>

Thanks Tom!! Well done Hampshire by the way.
 
Well done Hampshire, a very solid start and a total beyond our reach. The run out of Kuhn was crucial.

Good to see 2 southern teams in the final. Promotion from div 2 in championship the focus for Kent now.
Might see you at T20 Finals Day. I mean Hampshire is pretty much a shoe in these days so it's on you to see if you can get your T20 up to scratch. :p

That would be good, we have some big hitters. Billings is generally a disappointment, hopefully his knock yesterday will build confidence.

Missing Northeast, liked him as a player and person who I met many times. Good to see he is doing well for you guys.
