Toss: Hampshire won the toss and decided to bat


That would have been a good toss to win.

RMJ must be lucky to keep his place in that team. Another win and we can be in top three.

Don't fancy our chances especially as an umpire is called Hampshire

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Great time to be playign Hampshire - missing Warne, Tremlett and Pieterson.

Generally a bat first wicket at the Rose Bowl as the pitches deteriorate and get slower and lower. However, all the dry weather will mean Mushy will come into his own.

Not sure why the scoreboards on Annanova or Cricinfo aren't updating they have been stuck on 7 for 0 off 3.4 overs for ages.

 

[CHAPPERS]

All the scorecards are stuck.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wicket down.

CC Benham c Prior b Kirtley 2 (45m 13b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.38

Lewry's figures are a bit special right now.

 

[Parson Henry]

Stuck on 19-2.

 

[Parson Henry]

Could it be another wicket has fallen?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Hmm, stuck on 19/2 and Rana has just some on.

I reckon it's a WICKET.

 

[Parson Henry]

Whoops

Who is this guy Hopkinson?

 

[Simster]

ASSCOOKIES.

What is that?

 

[Parson Henry]

We love you Naved we do!!

29-3!!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Carl Hopkinson is primarily a one day player. Handy with the bat and excellent in the field, bowls seam. Was on 12th man duties last summer for England I believe.

Good one day prospect, not sure about the 4 day game though.

 

[The Large One]

Hants 33/3 after 21 overs. That gives us one bowling point. And The Rose Bowl is noted as being an excellent batting track - so there must be some awesome bowling down there.

Are the scoreboards stuck, or is it raining in Southampton? Hiney? Race?
