Probably.Why hasnt Franklin bowled for Gloucs this morning? Don't tell me he's injured again
Has managed a couple of wickets, after an excellent start Hampshire innings is now entering a crucial phase at 126-3 and 2 new batsman at the crease, a lot depends on North while there is pressure on Ervine with Lumb out the side and ready to take his spot.Interesting to see Lancashire reject Andrew Miller playing for Warwickshire today, jeez their attack doesn't look particularly good does it?
TBF Chilton isn't an opener, he is a middle order player that has been forced to open because we've never had any openers(FWIW the same applies to Horton, always used to bat 3,4 for the seconds and batted middle when he first broke in to the side), and you can hardly say Smith's opening has 'failed' after one innings. (given in his 2 other innings opening this year he score 66 and an unbeaten hundred).Lanky's experiment with Tom Smith opening has failed. Out for a duck.
Doesn't suggest a great deal of faith in Chilton.
Fair enough. I probably got carried away with the fact that we'd taken a wicket, which I don't expect will be a particularly frequent occurrence this season.TBF Chilton isn't an opener, he is a middle order player that has been forced to open because we've never had any openers(FWIW the same applies to Horton, always used to bat 3,4 for the seconds and batted middle when he first broke in to the side), and you can hardly say Smith's opening has 'failed' after one innings.

Why don't you come down for the Liverpool game, it's like an hour on the train (it's not even that), I'll meet up with you for it if you wantProbably not, I wouldn't think so anyway. Hence the membership looks all the more appealing since i can dander in and out as i please. Problem is, i'll be in Belfast for most of the summer and the one ****ing game i most wanted to see is in ****ing Liverpool.
I still love Ervine but I really would like to punch him in the face right now, typical innings, 30 off 34 balls and then gets out. He is more anoying than Ian Bell playing for England. Need Pothas to do what he normally does now and get us to a competative total.

He batted as low as 7 in Warwickshire's last county game. Rikki, could be set for unemployment come the end of the summer...I still love Ervine but I really would like to punch him in the face right now, typical innings, 30 off 34 balls and then gets out.
