    "Torturous" is how I would describe it....

    I feel your pain regarding Joe Weatherley, but at least he hung around for 90 minutes, which is possibly longer than the rest of your top order combined!

    Nice to see Tom doesn’t reserve his angry rants for just the football

    Graham Lloyd didn’t look like he was giving much. Josh Davey was so close to trapping Tom Alsop 3 or 4 times before he actually gave it.

    Anyway, it could be worse, Sussex are 47-7 at Northampton!

    The only possible saving grace for us is that Somerset's batting line up isn't nearly as star studded (or in form) as Surrey's. If we can get to 150+ then at least we have something to bowl at. And Somerset do like a batting collapse almost as much as us.

    True, but Banton’s out, Lammonby is coming into form, and Goldsworthy is a superstar in the making. And most of the side consists of all-rounders, right down to the mighty Jack Leach.

    So we've managed to score 13 runs fewer than the 92 last week. Woeful.

    Well, well.

    Commentators saying Hampshire could be back in sometime this evening, which of course is always possible, but we’ll see. At least Somerset have already avoided the follow-on!

    They said that last week - Surrey made 560 odd.

    A few batting points would be nice, a bit thin on the ground these days!

    Mind you, I don't think you'll make that many! TBF if the ball is moving around we've got the bowlers to exploit the conditions, just like Somerset.

    The day to bat is definitely tomorrow so if we can restrict Somerset to a small 1st innings lead this match could change on its head.

    As a continuation of my straw-clutching principle when supporting both Hampshire and Saints,it seems that Hampshire success is directly opposite to Saints' success. In which case we should take Liverpool to the cleaners, and win by 4 or 5.

    You're never bored as a Saints and Hampshire fan. Nervous, bordering on being a jibbering wreck, but never bored.
