Gilchrist out first ball of the final over0

325-8 off 50.
Jaydn 20* (17) & Jas 3* (4)
Very disappointing 37-5 off the final 8 overs but one would like to think that we can defend this

Many players rise to an occasion; Stokes being a classic example. Just a though, maybe after playing in the intense Ashes (made more intense as squashed into too few weeks) has drained some players and the slightly less important Hundred is not nearly quite the sameAddick Addict said:

I have it on good authority that some of the players themselves treat the competition as a joke. Now I'm not saying that this would include the likes of Root and Hales but they were playing golf yesterday together and they probably fared better doing that than the 13 runs they scored between them off 14 balls opening the batting later that day.PrincessFiona said:

Hants have to try to win the game inside 33.1 overs to go top and straight into the semis as a result1

'as a joke'? It is......!
Glad to hear it. Don't blame them - as long as they don't do a Bairstow!
Talking of which, what actually happened - as I've read his (severe) injury was the sort caused by a motorcycle accident......did involve a golf buggy, although hardly the same?!1 -
Notts 182
Lancs 13-0 off 60 -
It does make one wonder if there wasn't any Hundred, whether the ECB would "encourage" their centrally contracted players to play in the 50 over comp?PrincessFiona said:'as a joke'? It is......!

Wouldn't it be a far better warm up for the World Cup then playing rounders The Hundred?Addick Addict said:

Joe, with typical nepotism, brings on his nephew first change who rewards his uncle with a caught and bowled with his third ball
41-1 off 7.32 -
Lancs 33-1 off 111

Clearly not easy batting conditions. The game is being played at an outgroundAddick Addict said:Lancs 33-1 off 110 -
I'm assuming the Newport pitch isn't that spin friendly, seeing that Leaning hasn't bowled yet0

Certainly the Hants spinners went for a few. Jaydn was presumably brought on first change because he has the control of a finger spinner (especially with only two out) and being a left arm orthodox spinner, he turns it away from the two right handers.I'm assuming the Newport pitch isn't that spin friendly, seeing that Leaning hasn't bowled yet1 -
78-1 off 131

101-1 off 18. Finch has just missed a stumping off Qadri.1

Meanwhile our game is becoming somewhat academic as Lancs are currently 72-1 off 181

115-1 off 20. Hants need 210 off 301

145-2 off 25. 181 runs required.1

188-2 off 30. Hants very much in charge at the moment.0

Lancs 117-3 off 30. Keaton Jennings (66*) very much the stumbling block0

Gilchrist drops Donald on the boundary1
-
213-2 off 33. Another 113 needed off 17 overs1

Joe Denly has dropped a sitter now and Parkinson is then hit for 10 runs off the next two balls. That's three missed chances from us so far and two of them have been off Parkinson. Let's hope the bowler doesn't rub out the signature on his contract!!!1

246-2 off 371

266-2 off 401

A wicket to Parkinson and a chance taken at last - a catch to Blake to see the departure of Brown (73)1
