Fluke.
Yep…two flukes in a row.
So to win the T20, just pay me not to check scores, listen or watch. Simples
Very pleasant afternoon at Radlett cheering on the boys. 20 or so school girls who’d seen the earlier girlie game, less than impressed with the bowling and my chants of “Champshire”. Very fit and attractive teacher was a good laugh though.
Playing my inner Phil. First beer served to us by Gus Fraser. The second by Tim Murtagh.
I am not worthy
Hampshire Vs Essex T20 Blast
Hants batting. Different sort of game tonight…no big opening stand and no big hitting.
Wicket doing a bit.
98 - 2 off 13 Vince and Weatherly at the crease.
Vince holes out for 44. 107 for 3 14.1 overs
138-6 after 18.3, Weatherly just departed…
155 - 6 off 20
Does not look like enough
Have faith…
No in normal circumstances…but it’s seems to be a slow wicket. We’ll have to bowl and field well.
Dropping a dolly isn’t going to help Hampshire’s cause…
Yeah I had a feeling he was going to drop it.
30 - 1 at the end of the Powerplay. Drizzling, not making it easy…we hope.
That’s how to catch a skied ball…
32-2
Current RR 4.80, Required RR 9.30
Haha…payback for the 6 previous ball.
Rain coming down heavier, Essex current;y behind the DL par score.
Game has to be finished by 21:45
