Probably harder to prove that a pitch is a road than the other end of the spectrum. I’m particularly taken aback because we seemed to have batted well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball did plenty on day one under cloud cover and if we didn’t spill five catches, we’d have probably bowled Surrey out for around 300. We didn’t and they made 600. When the clouds disappear so does the seam movement, and that’s where having a quality spinner (Zafar’s omission was odd) would come into its own. We left out Zafar, Surrey left out Virdi. It’s also worth mentioning that this track is one of the three international tracks at Bristol and they all are pretty flat.

I guess I’m just more of the argument that two day result pitches shouldn’t be penalised as frequently as they are.. we need a complete mixture I agree, batsmen and bowlers need all types of pitch to learn. I think punishment should only be applied if the pitch is dangerous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Is it too early to say Glos are staring down the barrel at Hants? No Dent, no Payne, lost the toss and bowling on another road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good fight back really, kept the run rate down and taking 4 wickets in the last 15 overs, Just watching the stream of the last few overs and wondering if they have a problem with their cameras or whether the Ageas bowl is on a slope?

Yeah, we’ve definitely hung in there today. Our batting lineup, however, looks very weak with a very long tail. What do you reckon? Harris, Bracey, Lace, Hammond, Van Burren, Higgins, Scott, tail?

I've no idea to be honest, I hope Warner bats better than he bowls, I have seen better club bowlers to be honest. *edit* Well done Miles, nice way to finish the day. *double edit* well I thought that was the last ball of the day, Van Buuren gets another. Great session that. Edited May 5, 2022 by Port Said Red 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohammed Abbas has just bowled an amazing over. Got Scott caught behind with a beauty, then Bracey was dropped, beaten all ends up and caught behind for 0 in three balls.

A strange game, the only thing putting Hampshire ahead is yesterdays afternoon session when the sun came out and the batting suddenly got easier. 1 hour ago, tin said: Blimey!

Unlikely I know but Abbas limped off after getting out LBW as nightwatchman so potentially may not be able to bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Nice to see the Glos media team are as bad as the football ones. First win in sight 111-2 They still need 257 ffs, and it's Gloucester . I hope they're right, but come on, talk about going early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
