Re: Cricket 2017
We have no interest in the Championship. Where we play matters not to the powers that be imo

I could say the same about Yorkshire whom i think have been extremely fortunate to avoid the drop
Re: Cricket 2017
Hants need Vince to remain at the crease after a mini-collapse

Management are only interested in us as a 1 day team. We have very few 4/5 day specialists on roster imo. Haven't for years. James Vince used to be a grinder, innings builder supreme, compared to Atherton when younger, now he's been turned into a 20/20 specialist.
Mistake taking him on the ashes tour imo

My dear old dad from Bournemouth who passed away in the 80's was a traditionalist & would still want to see Hants playing in Division One of the County Championship if he was alive today.
He'd also be so proud of the Cherries reaching the Premiership. Last game he went was at Bradford City when they were in the old 3rd division, they lost 7-0
Re: Cricket 2017
Actually a draw would be enough for Hampshire's survival as they got 5 bowling bonus points plus 5 for the draw would take them ahead of Middlesex
Come on Hants

Difficult to know what the fans think. Hampshire specific forums have like 5 members post once a month on them it seems to me.

Re: Cricket 2017
No chance we make those runs, we've basically got the one day bowlers/all rounders left to come, and not the Stokes/Bairstow type all rounders...more like Derek Pringle type all rounder. Honest bowler, can bat a bit

Re: Cricket 2017
Hales and Stokes suspended by England after a video was released to the bbc ( by the sun newspaper). It really is quite a shocking video showing a man repeatedly hitting two other men. The man throwing the punches is allegedly Ben Stokes. The video hasn't yet been verified by the bbc.....The video hasnt been handed to the police but voices are allegedly heard to be saying thats enough Stokesy.

Can Hants hold on ?

Re: Cricket 2017
Holland & Berg doing a stirling job for Hants with a useful 40 runs partnership to hopefully send the last years champs down to Division 2
What a difference a year makes !

Re: Cricket 2017
I see they're appealing to Von Strauss and the ECB over the 2 points they were deducted from the Surrey game. Watch this space !!!1964white wrote:It backfired on the weasel

Strauss is probably one of the main perpetrators lodging the appeal
