I was going to try to do both Lordās and the Emirates. We managed it in 1991 - nipped out to Loftus Road in the middle then back for most of our run chase. In 2012 though, with a 50 over a side game (60 in 1991) it wasnāt quite possible. Thank god for that - I missed a 6-1 drubbing and caught one of the best games of cricket Iām ever likely to see
Well, well, well ā¦ on the day England regain the Ashes, Hampshire produce an excellent bowling performance by dismissing Warwickshire for 125 with Fidel Edwards and 18 year-old Mason Crane taking 5 wickets each!
Hampshire lead by 160 on the first innings; will they enforce the follow on?
Perhaps this season has a little more life in it after allā¦

Feck me theyāre actually playing this morning, is it not pissing down at the Rose Bowl then?
Well, well a 216 run win. Lets see if they can kick on from thatā¦

Great - pretty fair I think, we would have won on D/L if theyād have played a few more overs
Just when Hampshire need to bear in mind the weather and score fast, we are 1-2 and then scoring at 2.5 an overā¦
80-3 from 18.2 overs, just over 4 an over, match reduced to 34 oversā¦
You never know the pitch may be a bowlers delight and the Hampshire bowlers will rip through the Gloucestshire batting.
Also, Iām a bit confused here, being born in Gloucester and living in Dorset where should me loyalties lie?
Geographically?
Probably Wiltshire.
But if in doubt, Aaaampshire!
Ah but I live on the Aaaaaampshirt/Dorset border and Aaaaaaampshire did use to play at Dean Court, sooooā¦
Anyway 2 quick wickets whilst weāre chasing the runs, 131-5 off 26.4 overs.
Weāre fucked, commentators saying track will only get better for the batters, Hapshire need to get over 180 to be competitiveā¦
Doesnāt look anything like enough runs and I fear for a bit of rain and a modest total over less overs.
Letās hope the wicket collapses like a Titchfield gutter.
Adams out for 97 (99), 195-6 31.5 overs.
2.1 overs left
Great effort!
Need the bowlers to strangle their innings now.
217-7, Smith 50 from 25 balls, caught last ball trying to heave another big 6
wickets starting to fall, pressure buildingā¦
Gloucester win by 4 wickets with an over to spare.
Boo, hooray, boo, hooray!!
I think that was two dodgy overs that cost - never mind.
Though in classic internet forum style I suppose i should really launch into a rant and throw my tickets back while refusing to attend another game until the management are all executed - messages I will of course deliver as I froth at the mouth.
