tin Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 6 hours ago, Port Said Red said: The body language from the team is excellent, they never seem to be concerned no matter the position they are in during the game. I think we all thought the lack of a spinner was going to be an issue, but the variety in the pace attack is working well. All this without Van Buuren for the last three games as well. Totally agree. It will be interesting to see how we fare having to defend a score, seeing as we’ve chased for each of the four wins so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Just turned on the old new fangled teletext to see how the Glos are doing and it appears we’ve already won again... at a canter. What on earth is going on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Vince gone. Just need the rain to hold off now. A Michelle for COve, seven for the match. Edited May 9, 2021 by Lanterne Rouge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 They`re going to grind out a draw aren`t they? The light will be a factor in an hour or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off for tea now so, if you are right, that leaves 40 minutes or so to get the last two wickets - famous last words, but Abbas is not the best batsman so, if they can break this stubborn stand, we should be OK.

You can just see them getting a lead of about 8 and when you allow for the change of innings there won`t be enough time/light left. That would be a very Somerset outcome.

PHILINFRANCE Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Yes. Mr. Organ can go back to Viz, and we can concentrate on Abbas. Still a lead of 7 runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogbert Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 10 minutes ago, TomF said: The ball before the LBW was absolute plumb hitting halfway up middle. Wish they’d get out there now because there is a bit of rain lurking to the west of Soton Could see the rain starting to fall on the feed just as it cut out at the end. Hants probably only needed to bat one more over to hold on for the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 1 hour ago, TomF said: It was actually for the pitch v Essex in the title decider. The umpires didn’t mark it down, Essex complained after the game concluded. The absolute nerve of them as they continue to turn out awful pitches at home so that Harmer can take 300000 wickets a season. He’s already got a 10WM in April this year ffs. That still pisses me off on the basis it was late September and had rained for a solid week before hand so there was all but no preparation time for the ground staff, the pitch wasn't dangerous at all just did bits but same for both teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things he said was that our thumping at Taunton last year has made us pull our socks up. I'm looking forward to getting down to watch Glos next week, just hope this abysmal weather buggers off by then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's alright for you and @slartibartfast, as I note that Glos. don't even have a match scheduled before playing Somerset so should escape the rain and consequent lost points.
