Ball two: Hampshire canter home at Canterbury
Hampshire bounced back from last week’s shellacking by the leaders to deal out an innings win of their own, Kent feeling the backlash at Canterbury.
The home side won the toss and elected to bat and their innings followed a similar pattern to Somerset’s 70 miles or so to the west, Daniel Bell-Drummond with the daddy ton at No3. Keith Barker led the attack with six wickets, as the seamers shared the scalps.
But Hampshire are an ageing/experienced XI (delete as you prefer) and, coming in with the new ball blunted, all three of the middle order men with 160+ matches on their records, James Vince, Liam Dawson and Ben Brown, plundered centuries. The hosts looked deflated long before Vince decided he had enough banked and declared, 652-6 on the board at almost four and a half an over.
There were yet more runs from Ben Compton, with Jordan Cox and Darren Stevens chipping in to ensure that the points were not given up lightly, but Hampshire are beginning to justify the pre-season tipsters’ confidence. They are second in the table after last week’s hiccup and are likely to have fewer international call-ups than their rivals later in the season.
Hmmm
