Great post cants.
Let's hope it's a great season3 -
So I was wrong with my assumption that we will not play a specialist spinner for this match. We have named two in the 12 man squad. It'll be one of Batty and Virdi who misses out.
Dissapointed Meaker is once again not backed from the start of the season. For each of the last 4 seasons we've waited until we are in trouble or have run out of options before us in him then he does okay.
His problem I'm sure is a confidence thing. If they backed him in preseason and from the start of the season I'm sure it would do his confidence a world of good.
I get he goes for runs but he bowls wicket taking balls. When we are playing 4 seamers I think we can afford to have him in there. Bowl him short spells and say give it everything get some wickets.1 -

Good spell by Edwards from the Vauxhall end. The ball was skidding on to the batsmen and kept low on both LBW decisions. Elgar and Burns are digging in.0
-
A couple of nice punches down the ground from Elgar. Hampshire are attacking his leg stump, and Elgar has been positive with a couple of hook shots. Hampshire put three fielders out on the long leg boundary to try and entice him into a loose hook shot. But he's too experienced for that.
Two clips for four off his legs by Burns to bring up the fifty partnership, and he dug out an excellent Yorker from Edwards, who is now operating from the pavilion end. A nice punch through extra cover by Elgar off Wheal for four.

Back on after lunch. Good over from the pavilion end from Abbott. Elgar beaten outside the off stump a couple of times. Burns has taken advantage of the short boundary on the Harleyford Road side.
Morne Morkel was on the out-field playing with his nipper during lunch, in amongst the people. Ryan Sidebottom was in the nets in front of the scoreboard coaching a couple of youngsters, with Geoff Arnold. Good to see Horse. The opening bowlers when I first started to come to the Oval were Arnold and Jackman. Two 100 per centers.

Loose shot by Burns, but a good innings in the context of the game. Foakes in with Elgar.
Elgar needs to dig in now and marshal the innings.0 -

Hampshires bowlers have really put the squeeze on after lunch, and are bowling with good pace. 31 runs in 59 mins. Abbott and Edwards are a handful. Wheal and Wood have both run in hard.
Pope in with Foakes. Need another partnership.0 -

Thanks all for the updates. I managed to listen a bit in the middle of a busy day. Had chances to kick on but didn't manage to. Rather annoying.
On a positive note the pitches seemed much better than last year where there was nothing at all in them for the bowlers. Does mean we will jabe to bat better than we did today though.0 -
