Good win that. I wonder how closely that pitch will be looked at?

 

We're top of Division 1. For a few hours anyway.

 

Get in Hants!....top of the the table for 24 hours at least....

**** me Tom, youve done it again!...

 

Yes, really good win.

 

They have pitch inspector's at every game now. But I very much doubt anything will happen. That's a typical Taunton pitch for almost a year now. And no punishment dished out previously.

 

I actually think my MOTM is Bailey.

Held our first innings together (when we could have been all out for 100), and then was prepared to instruct an exceptionally aggressive second innings tactic. And ultimately, it is that second innings score which stands out in this match. Very few captains would have gone with that strategy. Possibly the Australian in him, when it comes to facing spin.

 

Hants tactics of scoring runs quickly and not waiting for a delivery with your name on it was a deciding factor.

 

Great to see two homegrown spinners bowl out a team in the second inning! Great win

 

Yes, I was very pleased with the way we went about our second innings. We've got the batting line up to be able to do that. All it takes is a couple of players (Carbs and Bergy) to get going and suddenly we've got a 200+ lead.

 

We wuz robbed...

 

Well, you make your pitch, you've got to play on it...

Or something like that.

 

Roy out .

 

Root out . 7-2

 

England 15-3 after 4 overs.

 

15-4 Blink and you'll miss it.

 

I would be seriously pissed if I'd bought a ticket....you can never be guaranteed a win, but you want to see a match.

20-5

 

20-6

 

Typo or another wicket?....

 

Guess

 

England get a 4
