I think Hants strong start at Glos can put us at bit more ease Send some of that ****** rain to Cheltenham ffs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Poor two sessions from last us today, but winning the final session has us in with a sniff. We need to bat a damn site better than we did first up, mind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glos. could still, theoretically, finish ahead of Somerset with a draw, although Hants cannot, even if they match Somerset's points total with a draw as Somerset have four wins compared to Hants' three.

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 I've not been watching the Glos/Hants match, but I couldn't help noticing that, of the 57! extras conceded in Hants' innings, 28 have been byes. If anybody on here is watching, can they advise whether the pitch is playing up or is this one more example of young James Bracey's loss of form/confidence following his unfortunate England experience.

Dogbert Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just looking at how division one is shaping up, I think Glos/Hants is the only thing to be decided - assuming Essex aren't awarded 45 bonus points. Yorks/Lancs almost certain to be a draw so range of points based on how many bonus points. Glos win/draw Warwickshire 21 Lancashire 16.5 -> 18 Gloucestershire 16 Somerset 9.5 Yorkshire 4.5 -> 7 Nottinghamshire 5 Hants win Warwickshire 21 Somerset 18.5 Lancashire 16.5 -> 18 Hampshire 8.5 Yorkshire 4.5 -> 7 Nottinghamshire 5 Looking at the score at Headingly I notice Lancs only two down at 110 overs - I wonder if they will try to bat out the day to prevent Yorkshire even getting 110 overs to bat and restrict their batting bonus points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extras up to 73 now with 40 byes. Bracey is definitely struggling a bit, I've seen a couple that he probably should've stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 27 minutes ago, TomF said: May have one eye on the Midd/Leics game. They need a few points to at least preserve D2 place I am sure they have; indeed, Surrey's position is getting progressively perilous, so much so that a draw might not save them from playing in the third division next season. In brief, Leicestershire are fighting back against Middlesex, who are currently 50/4 in their second innings, giving them a lead of just 146. Although they are playing at Northwood, not one of the best batting surfaces, Leicestershire must be quietly fancying their chances of a win, which would give them 127 points: a draw for Surrey, even with the maximum of 5 batting points, would equally put them on 127 points, but with Leicestershire having won three matches against Surrey's two, the latter would finish fifth and, thus, be playing in division three next season. Surrey really need a win to be sure, and don't look as if they are playing with sufficient urgency to get anything more than a draw - currently 137/2 off 57.

PHILINFRANCE Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) In other news, Jack Leach is bowling magnificently; has already had Stoneman caught and has just had Amla dropped at second slip. Hants have also declared at 486/7, a lead of 257. It's all about to get quite interesting. Edited July 13, 2021 by PHILINFRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Well, we’re into the next stage and have FINALLY served our sentence dished out by the ECB. Having said that, if Jack Leach gets many more wickets on this Oval pitch they’ll probably dock us another 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This match for Surrey is a bit like the Leicestershire match for us when we prepared for a draw but the pitch ended up almost benefiting Leicestershire more than us and the draw for Somerset became a relief in the end.

True, it’s all down to the toss of course and Somerset have on many occasions prepared a pitch to suit them……..as long as they win the toss and they haven’t. Surrey have signed a player just for this match and pitch remember Edited July 13, 2021 by ralphindevon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Surrey would have to collapse for Somerset to win and that’s pretty unlikely. That said, fourth day wicket, Leach bowling well so anything can happen. Surrey just lost their third wicket……….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
