It happens when you play an obviously superior side

 

[12th Man]

Shocking performance from Hampshire. Warne's 6/88 the only shining light.

come on the bears, recovering after that shonking defeat a couple of weeks ago

 

[shaka]

Huge score by Andy Flower (188), good work mate

 

[superkingdave]

Key on course for another ton

 

[shaka]

Poor Gough, fell 7 runs short of scoring his 2nd ever century

 

[superkingdave]

Oxford UCCE 300/9d & 151
Lancashire 420 & 31/0 (7 ov) Lancashire require another 1 run with 10 wickets remaining
Tea
Lancashire RR: 4.43

Were they so desparate for a cuppa that they couldn't wait for one run?

 

[superkingdave]

Another ton for Newman today, currently 127* as Surrey look like salvaging a draw against Kent, 201-0.

Some good performances by back-up or future prospect this year.

Newman 642runs@80.25
Key 646@64.6
Joyce 693@77.00
Cook 787@65.75

Key seems to be taking out his disappointment of not playing in the just concluded test on the surrey bowlers

 

[superkingdave]

Warwickshire 48/6 (17 ov)
vs Scotland

 

[SpaceMonkey]

53-7 now outstanding!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh dear! Marc'll be reaching for the hemlock soon!

Hoffman looks like he's bowling v well. Not an overly Scottish sounding surname tho; another Saffie ringer?

Research...

He's never played for anyone but the Scots, though. 12 FC wickets @ 17 (Intercontinental, mostly), 38 List-A wickets @ 39 (econ 4.28)

83/8 now, the wicket seems to have a bit in it, if they can get 120 they'll probably fancy thier chances

 

[superkingdave]

Mind you, with Streak at 10 they could get 200

 

[Scaly piscine]

Another interesting innings from Durham's wicketkeeper - 32 off 25, 4 sixes and no fours.

 

[marc71178]

A poor end to the innings, but this Stratford wicket played poorly in the County game (over in 2 days) so you never know (although the fact we've only picked 4 bowlers is a worry!)

Probably not the best way to play in the circumstances?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Scotland 61 for 1, with fifteen wides.

I believe the phrase is: "What the hell are they playing at?"

Hoffman is a Zimbabwean/Rhodesian name..

 

[aussie]

very odd game going on between Warwickshire & the scottish boys, the bears bowled out shamlessly for 113 & the scottish lasds just need 10 to win with 2 wickets in hand.

could be a tense finish
