Cook available for Essex and Noah Thain is back from injury. No Porter.

We're maybe at the stage where with rain affected games we could see captains getting together and trying to set targets, forfeited innings etc...

On the road again

Love Test cricket, watch it whenever I can if the Bears ain't playing, but I haven't attended a day of Test cricket in years now. Its just too much hassle. Think 2015 Ashes was the last one I actually went to.

He was phenomenal in 2018 the year we got promoted.

Definitely relying on Pennington to Stone at the moment. Easy to forget they had Fergus O'neill amd Tongue throughout April/May though. This Giles lad looks handy enough but Hutton has had a fairly quiet season by his standards, they're missing Lyndon James overs and this Sheat looks, well, shit.

Stone has had an incredible few weeks. That was his 9th 4day game this season.

68 wickets @ 19 from 16 matches in 4day cricket for us between 2017-2022. I think.

I thought Hampshire would put up a bit of a fight seeing as they really need a win but they are as bad as their fans were saying last week on the BBC Cricket site. A lot were saying that they are so poor and did nothing to address the batting at the end of last season, that they really hope they go down so something can be done once and for all to put it right. Total crap and it's as you were at the top. I just hope for our sake, that Essex and Leicestershire play as badly against us as they have played in this round of games.

No Porter against us right? Was subbed out this round.

I dont anybody had to bowl more than 1 spell in either innings?

Great win. Twice out for less than 70 a time yet we almost managed 400. One of the most comprehensive victories in a very long time. Agreed Kai should be behind the stumps for the rest of the season and bat a bit higher up the order too.

7 is perfect for him at the moment. Im willing to look away from his substandard glovework if we can bat as well as he has done these past 2 games.

"We are title contenders in name only..." said somebody on this forum after the Notts game...

What a remarkable, bizarre win.

Can we play these silly Welsh mugs every week...

Yes I noticed this, professional sub fielder it seems!

Glamorgan elect not to take the new ball, Carlson still bowling...

That dismissal of Barnard has potentially cost us a real shot at getting the extra points here...

126 for 2 that session.

And Leicestershire to stop being useless...

Really, really need to somehow get max batting points here...

Mousley lol
