Hmm,

Playing Hants in the FPT today - we had them 123-5.

They ended their 50 overs 300-5

Hampshire 300 for 5 in their 50 overs today.

For the last half dozen years or so we've started the summer so poorly, it seems to take until late May for us to find any form at all. Looks like this year is no different.

Anyone know when play might start? The clubs website has no information as usual. Bagofshite.

The website seems to have regressed since last season.

At least last year they'd give updates on champ matches at lunch and tea. Now, you get 1 report at the end of the day. Bobbins

I see du Preez is playing in the IPL now.

[gazzer]

dunno either but apparently Leics won the toss and elected to bat

The website is crap! Ive got live updates from the Ireland website up. Cant get down there today as the mother goose is on my case about revision <_< . They are starting at 2 with the game being 31 overs.

[SemperEadem]

WA White, HD Ackerman, HF Gurney, MAG Boyce, PA Nixon, IE O'Brien, JJ Cobb, ACF Wyatt, JWA Taylor, CD Crowe, HH Dippenaar

O'brein just got a wicket 5th ball !

[Cobbo]

Anyone know how many overs it's been reduced too?

[SemperEadem]

31

Ireland 183/4 after 30 overs so it will be a tough ask. A good start from our bowlers but struggling again in the second half!

We won for a change...by 7 wickets!

A century by HD Ackerman lead the way.

[Cobbo]

Well we won by 7 wickets.

Thanks to a ton from HD - 118 from 87 balls!

Looking at the stats, it looks like he may have hit a 6 to win it...? Not sure, but hit a 6 near the end anyways

A whole nation! We are merely a county...

I don't think it was the winning shot...I was tracking the last few overs and he seemed to hit a six in the last over but one.

That effectively ended Ireland's spirited resistance, and Ackerman finished things off nicely with some more trademark cover drives and a fine flick behind square.

[Ultra]

We should make the most of this victory.

It may be our last for some time..

[SMX11]

Ackerman hit a four to finish it off, it was on Radio Leicester

Ackerman= GOD!

[Hitesh]

86/3 after a great start, watch the collapse - Englandesq...

[gazzer]

Ireland screwed us over!

[Milky]

83-0 to 96-8

:eek:

[Hitesh]

And now they are 16/2 after we made 133 thanks to O'Briens little cameo!

[Cobbo]

Well that is the worst collcapse I have ever heard of! Crazy.

However, we do have Gloucestershire at 71-4 so all is not lost.
