Hampshire V Bears on Sky tomorrow. I'll settle for Hampshire 150 all out or Bears 300/2

Beware the perfect storm, Baz .... beware ....

Eh? surrey v Derbyshire at the Oval delayed by...."crowd congestion"?

What is this, 1947?

by PeterCS Mon 12 Sep 2011, 10:44

No, they are all hawking phlegm at the prospect of Surrey going up.

by PeterCS Mon 12 Sep 2011, 10:44

Ruined the pitch.

by PeterCS Mon 12 Sep 2011, 11:26

Worryingly for Lancs' slim hopes, captain, inspiration and perhaps best player Chapple has limped off.

Aaannnndddd we're done. Congrats Surrey - the better side overall. Weak, Northants, weak.

At least you aren't being screwed on the last day of the season by an out of nowhere Ryan Dustcart innings!

True. How contrived was that. Bad times. Doesn't ease the ignominy this time though.

50 for Hildreth

He's had a shite season overall. Really disappointing.

msg for Baz:

Dello's lot have shelled about 5 catches so far - doing their best to keep you up! Very Happy

by Henry Mon 12 Sep 2011, 13:58

And with the season gone, Hildreth comes out and plays like a dream Rolling Eyes

by Brass Monkey Mon 12 Sep 2011, 14:00

He got Trevved.

Trevved big. There was some table-thumping get-him-ins when the Lions were touring WI in March or whenever. His number was up from that point onwards.

by LeFromage Mon 12 Sep 2011, 14:15

Jumble Sales out for a duck.

Jesus, averaging 17 for the season. That's indefensible for a player of his ability.

by Brass Monkey Mon 12 Sep 2011, 14:19

Yeah, he's been totally shite. The boys in the paper have been clamouring for him to be dropped for months on end and I can't say I've disagreed. Who to be dropped for? Rob Newton. Who got 4 today. Still, no-one's got any runs and it's perfect bowling weather. We were doomed before a ball was bowled. Mainly because we're sh!t.

by Henry Mon 12 Sep 2011, 14:21

What happened to Sales? Finally a pie too many?

by Brass Monkey Mon 12 Sep 2011, 14:27

I'm not sure. It's not like you even said many positive things about him, so he couldn't have got Trevved.

by PeterCS Mon 12 Sep 2011, 15:13

Hildreth ton and Buttler, the new keeper-batsman, 50 up, both *

I don't think it's a matter of Lancs bottling it, as not being quite up to it.This time in the bowling.

Oh well - another Bears pennant it is, as long as they don't bananaskin it at the last.

by Henry Mon 12 Sep 2011, 15:17

Joe Denly making a late run for a Lions spot over the Winter? Perhaps he's one of those 'went away, worked on his game, and is now a much better player' types.

by LeFromage Mon 12 Sep 2011, 15:20

With 30*?

Is this the earliest ever Mudgegasm?

by LeFromage Mon 12 Sep 2011, 15:23

50 wickets @ 20 for Will Gidman, just shy of 1000 runs @ 49.

I can't remember ever seeing him play. I assume, as a Gloucs player, he's a dobber and a crabber of no discernible quality.

He's had an excellent last month and they must think highly of him to have promoted him to the England side so quickly in the first place. He has some nice shots. Just needed to tighten up his technique and rotate the strike better between those nice shots.

Yeah, he's been excellent in tight situations as a batsman. TBH, I'm surprised with his bowling - was innocuous part-times. Tiflex strikes again!
