Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Will Hampshire be docked points for an inadequate pitch I wonder- or is it conditions based, the flurry of wickets? We're 8/1 chasing 115...will be nervy. Edited September 17, 2019 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Could we just play sensibly and take the 2 days to get what we need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) 5 minutes ago, TomF said: Test ground? Not a chance. Apparently Gus Fraser is requesting that Somerset be deducted points for it however. Vince with his only score of the summer would be against us. Killing the game off for us. Sounds about right. Like I said earlier, you seem pretty uniquely unlucky in title races. Given Essex have had some lively pitches this summer- well I assume so, helps account for their home record, any ECB Inspectors etc? Guessing they're just the right side of the line... @Midred Sounds your best bet. No bad weather forecast.

cidercity1987 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Could be all but over in the Division Two promotion race by the end of this round, looking at the current scores: Gloucs to beat Worcs, 85 needed with 8 wickets left. Northants to beat Durham, currently 305 ahead in their second innings with 4 wickets left. Sussex to not win against Derbys, the latter of whom are 217 ahead in the second innings with only one wicket down. Then we'll be about 20 points clear of 4th, I think?

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Oooooh now you've gone and done it!! 85 with 8 wickets left on what seems like a lively track...not cut and dried- I remember our loss at Middlesex. Northants to beat Durham- yeah could well be. Sussex to lose score 350 in 2 sessions or 420 in a day. *Sticks fingers in ears* "La la la, looking ahead nah" Looks like Glamorgan might win with maximum points too but we shall see- they play Durham final day. IF we grind it out though, then yeah it's a huge step. If midtable nothing to play for Derbyshire are 327/1 and going at over 5 an over, that suggests pretty well anything is chaseable there if the wicket and conditions stay the same.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 54/4 at the close- PHEW. Should be a very interesting nervy first session or if it drags out 2 sessions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Wonder if they stay up in Worcs or whether they come home as it’s so close? County teams must spend chunks on hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Wow- won it within the first hour or so, with 0 wickets lost between the start and the winning! Assumed given yesterday it could've been quite awkward. Well done Gloucs! Still taking it one game at a time, just one.
