Tom Banton’s injury really ****ed them over huhSomerset 136 all out vs Hampshire 196 all out
Now they are at tea
May has well get some play inDurham kicking off on Day 3, just what is the point?
But it's still possible to beat Worcestershire and Nottinghamshire & Warwickshire only draw.Lancashire are officially relegated
Maybe they'll both forfeit an innings to make a game out of it.Durham kicking off on Day 3, just what is the point?
I wouldn't bet against them, although that may depend on how soon age kicks in with your quicks. Which I suppose is what you're referring to with 'one or two more chances'. Did Barker even play many games this season? But yes, you have that perfect situation of very good players who aren't likely to be called away for international duties. Rightly or wrongly in the case of Dawson. Good team though. You absolutely smashed my boys just before the first break from the CC. Being so few points behind Surrey must make your poor start even more frustrating.Hampshire have been really good since those first few games when they played on some pretty terrible pitches. I so want this team to get a title, maybe have one or two more chances.
Foakes must be an ideal replacement for Smith and isn't Fisher inbound to replace Atkinson. Lawrence will be available again.I wouldn't bet against them, although that may depend on how soon age kicks in with your quicks.

Looking ahead to next season, the increased number of international call-ups now that Smith and Atkinson look like fixtures in the England side must make it hard for Surrey to win it again. Even more so if Worrall gets the nod as he's eligible next year. I hope he doesn't for all sorts of reasons, but being able to actually get onto the park must help his cause.
Sure, we won't be terrible, even allowing for Foakes not being nearly as good a batsman as Smith. And Foakes would have been playing anyway, so you really talking about whichever batsman replaces Smith. But it's so rare for a team to win it four times in a row, and there are some very good sides who look capable of stepping up next summer. Not just Hampshire, Somerset and Essex, but Durham look promising too.Foakes must be an ideal replacement for Smith and isn't Fisher inbound to replace Atkinson. Lawrence will be available again.
