More of a case of our bowlers Tredders included bowling full tosses, but worse than that having no balls hit for 6 and giving the batsmen free hits.
Spot on. Much of the bowling after the rain break was loose and undisciplined. The no balls and full bungers were all punished to the maximum, not to mention the vital c&b by Thomas that was ruled out because he overstepped. Easy to blame the wet ball but I also put it down to the coaching and what was said to the players during the break. Notwithstanding, it has been an encouraging season in the white ball games, and hopefully they can get a result against Middx on Friday.
Went today. Hants are a shadow of the T20 Kings of just a couple of years ago as evidenced by the likes of Wheater at 3, Gatting at 5 and Dawson at 6. Despite taking a bit of a hammering, I suspect that we will hear a lot more about 18 year old leg spinner, Mason Crane, in the future.
As for us, once Carberry departed, Treders and Cowdrey turned the screws and Hants totally lost their way with a couple of schoolboy run outs not helping their cause. Denly is now turning 20s into 70s and D B-D allowed everyone else to bat round him in the cause.
All in all a very professional performance but, after the Glamorgan fiasco, it had to be.

No overs lost
The other week Coles went for 34 late on with that same mindset because we had already won. And when you do that you give belief to the opposition.
Left home for Southend with our lads about to defend their 317.....
Is this another example of a young side being over confident ?
2nd game against the Welsh that we've thrown away in less than 2 weeks !
