[Scaly piscine]

actually 6 internationals but Hampshire are missing Mascarenhas Ervine and Pietersen

6 Internationals *out* now.

 

[King_Ponting]

Lamb might carry his bat having faced only 31 balls .

 

[superkingdave]

looking like another good workout for Batty

 

[Scaly piscine]

And yet another classic Kabir Ali over.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Kabir the mediocre trundler gets two daft wickets along with getting carted all over the ground. Hopefully common sense will prevail and Kabir will be left vying for the England drinks waiter position. At least Lewis is a mediocre trundler that doesn't give away big run overs virtually every game.

Good to see Haydos, Marto and Symonds get amongst the runs even if its only against leicesterchire, its all confidence boosting ultimately.... But i hope those selectors drop Pointing, he's costing the country dearly....

 

[superkingdave]

England are gonna have a 12 over a side game after the Duke of Edinburgh presentation - Flintoff to open anyone?

 

[Arjun]

Freak scorecard- Extras and Number 10 are joint top scorers, then the next best score is b number 9 and 1!

WTF? Am i picking up a hint of sarcasm?

Decent bit of resistance here from Gibson and Nixon. 6 overs away from batting out the 50.

 

[superkingdave]

He He in the 12 over game, Hampshire are 41-0!

 

[King_Ponting]

after how many overs?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Nice outing for the Australian bowlers as well in the end. McGrath got 2/33 from his 10, and Lee 1/32 from 9, and both apparently bowled quite well, although Lee wasn't so good after his first spell of 5 overs for 6 runs. A few wickets for Hogg, and economical spells from Gillespie and Clarke as well.

Comfortable win by 95 runs.

GRRRR when will England stop p*ssing about and put Geraint back down to number 7.

or perhaps drop him?

 

[superkingdave]

Hampshire made 110 from the 12 overs

 

[tooextracool]

It's stupid to see Collingwood coming in at 7.

my thoughts exactly, how in the blue hell could batty and kabir ali have batted below him?

 

[tooextracool]

WTF? Am i picking up a hint of sarcasm?

u think?

 

[tooextracool]

omg and people complain about Bangladesh being an embarrassment...

or maybe england actually bowled well?
b'desh of course losing to derbyshire.

 

[King_Ponting]
