Collingwood's better overall than both of them.sledger said:
A tough day for hampshire today with kent scoring 366-8 which is a very goo total at the rose bowl hampshire batsmen are really going too have too put in a great performence with heavy reliance on watson and pothas.
This season has really higligted the obsurdity in 3 teams being relegated luckily they are changing it for next year but gloustashire and glamorgan are so far behind with all the rest so close that is going too be very harsh on whoever goes down. With most teams with a chance of winning the title but also with a very realistic possibiliy of going down. Kent do look good at the moment i am going tomorow for what is a very important day

Good day for Kent, but slightly dissapointed that we lost a couple of wickets late on giving Hampshire a good finish to the day, but with the able tail I think a first innings score of around 400 will be on the cards, then just need a couple of early wickets to put Hampshire under some real pressure.Pothas said:

Looking at it, that line-up looks quite weak once you get past Crawley and Watson...Pothas said:
no if you look at hampshire this year the tale has dragged them out of so many difficult situations, Pothas is on great form with 2 centuries in his last too matches and the likes of ervine and mashrenhas get important runs even old udal gets a 30 or 40 nearly ever match
Hampshire are a very good side, they have the ablity to dig in and while they may not have world class players they work well as a team and in each game someone will always get a score.Pothas said:
With Pothas, Bichel, Mascaranhas etc down the order your never quite through them as they can all score runs.

Well, it's the batting line-up that's given them those difficult situations, isn't it? Tail can be pretty good, averaging around 20-odd, but that still makes the specialists such as McLean pretty weak.Pothas said:
Though I think you as a close follower probably have a better clue than me about how their batting is going.
You said the batting line up from watson was weak and that includes the tail does it not?Samuel_Vimes said:Well, it's the batting line-up that's given them those difficult situations, isn't it?

The lower middle order is good, the openers are pretty awful and Mclean has only played one 4 day game and did get a 60 but i have no idea if he is good or not
Managed too get a session and a bit in at the rose bowl before the weather took over. Half the first session was taken up with a very anoying but impressive last ingings stand of 50 from Patel and Kahn. Hampshire were looking pretty comfortable in reply on 86-1 with Ervine opening making an entertainig 46 not out. It seems this is the easiest pitch too bat on the rose bowl has seen and a draw is the most likely result although a hampshire collapse could change all that

No wonder Gloucestershire lost to Sussex - they only picked two quick bowlers with their three spinners, and Kirby broke down after 4.3 overs, meaning Kadeer Ali had to take the new ball in the second innings.
He did alright, mind you - 5-1-12-1, with the wicket being that of Prior for 109!

Well, he can't bloody bat - law of averages suggests he must be able to do something.
Maybe he's got a future in cricket after all?
On the subject of "how-the-hell-did-that-happen", Matt Wood scored 297.

Possibly. He was born in Exeter. Most recent ex-Uni FC players are - off the top of my head - Arul Suppiah and Richard Dawsonsuperkingdave said:
