The big day is nearly here. Hampshire take on Kent at Lords in the 50 over final…KO 11.00am
Chris Woods shares his thoughts…
Kick off will be just as I finish work for the day
So expecting a slow stream so if your watching my text updates may be 2 overs behind.
I don’t want to put the kibosh on your enjoyment Phil but you realise if you contribute to this thread during the game their’s not a lot that’s going to come as a surprise watching your stream.
So bloody annoying. This weekend was start of school holidays so Thursday & Friday, flights to UK cost around US$1500, yet up until Wednesday they were about US$550.
Of course up until Wednesday I had no reason to come back, no meetings.
Then of course Wednesday night, and Friday kaboom and I needed to be back towards end of next week but couldn’t justify the cost.
Cock.
Will be a diplomatic balance today with Mrs D_P wanting to go to the beach, the Mall ready for her next work trip to Poland. How much of the game I will be able to stream I have no idea. While you buggers sip your beers on a beautiful day at the last One Day Final at Lords.

On the train from Petersfield, meeting SO5, Bucks and a couple of others at Lord’s. Fabulous day to be watching cricket - come on you Hampshire hogs!
Kent win the toss and decide to bowl.
Poo…I was hoping for a run chase but it seems we’ll be bowling to restrict.

100 up for no wicket in 17 overs is a very solid start. Need to accelerate in the next few overs…stating the bleeding obvious I know.
We are making a marvellous job of building up to a middle order/late innings collapse here
Both openers get 50
