Come on, we could virtually win this tonight.

Come on, we could virtually win this tonight.

Thompson will be the key wicket. Duke and Bess can bat, but Thompson is the one who could counter-attack and try to wrestle the momentum back.

I'm not convinced they've got much left after those three.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

NZ 553 all out .

we’ve got them right where we want them !

 

[Saints_Alive]

Well at least you never typed it in blue...

What are this week’s lottery numbers, O great prophet?

BOOM!

 

[tomw24]

How did that miss the stumps?

 

[tomw24]

YES!

 

[tomw24]

YES! YES! YES!

 

[tomw24]

Frustrating we haven't bowled them out yet but still plenty of time. New ball also due in 6 overs if needed. 200-220 in 50+ overs very chasable.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Yes, i'd fancy us to chase 220 but if not we still come out of it with a high scoring draw. Hopefully Somerset's bowlers can do us a favour but it's unlikely.

 

[tomw24]

Nice - first ball after lunch!

 

[Saints_Alive]

First ball after lunch, well done Dutchie!

 

[tomw24]

Right, 197 to win. Come on Hants!

 

[Saints_Alive]

Should be an exciting chase!

 

[tomw24]

At 11am I would have bitten your hand off for this. I wasn't convinced we would take the 5 wickets that quickly.

 

[tomw24]

59 overs to get 197. Under 3.5 an over.

 

[Saints_Alive]

We have plenty of batters that can score quickly, just need to see off the new ball with minimum damage.

First ball whacked for 4!
