Two wickets needed for victory…against a side crumbling faster than a fresh croissant.

They’ve lost the last five for 17.

NEXT season is one up/one down - unfortunately this season is one up/two down

So a really good idea to stay up, as it’ll be v hard to get back

Surrey won today as well - and went to second place in the table - but we’ve got a game in hand and we still play them

Here’s a more realistic table - Surrey and Warks are the ones we could catch

| | Games | Points | Points per game | |
| Middlesex | 12 | 173 | 14.4 | | |
| Yorkshire | 10 | 137 | 13.7 | | |
| Somerset | 11 | 138 | 12.5 | | |
| Durham | 11 | 133 | 12.1 | | |
| Lancashire | 11 | 128 | 11.6 | | |
| Warwickshire | 12 | 134 | 11.2 | | |
| Surrey | 13 | 143 | 11.0 | | |
| Hampshire | 12 | 117 | 9.8 | | |
| Nottinghamshire | 12 | 103 | 8.6 | | |

SO5 we need to discuss the demise of the team more often! GTFI

Definitely - ‘certainly not two worse teams than us’, ‘can’t see us taking twenty wickets’… great to proved wrong. Hopefully thay can kick on - wasn’t there some talk of Edwards coming back too?

Yeah, SO5, there was some talk on Radio Solent today of Edwards possibly being available for a couple of matches at the end of the season – he’s at home in the West Indies atm, apparently.

I think that Ervine and Vince will also be available for the next matches, although Dawson will be missing for a while following his call-up to England’s ODI squad.

It was great to see some of Hampshire’s younger players– particularly Wheal – contributing to today’s much-needed win!

Anyway, still a maximum of 96 points available from the four remaining fixtures, so I’m still hopeful that we can escape relegation. :lou_lol:

What is it with starting county matches on Tuesdays? Way to decimate your audience.
