No problem, Chichester. Just make sure the bar is open and prepare for a long night. The first rounds are on those who said the game was gone! Wink

Cracking result! Don't foret there's also Ale

Really pleased for Meaker after all the difficulties and troughs he's had in the last few years to deliver a bowling performance like that!

1/who wouldn't have settled for this position with one day to play when we were 415-7?
2/ if we'd knocked over the last wicket say 40 minutes before stumps, and asked them to follow on, with our knackered bowlers - without Zaf to hold an end - chances are Hants' openers would have got them up to around 398 anyway and had a little useful morale boosting mini-session tonight.

As things stand, we should be looking to take the last wicket early tomorrow with fresh bowlers, then have another go at them with all the bowlers still fresh. It's not ideal and it's frustrating but in many ways, I'd rather they were 398-9 tonight than 338 all out and 60-0 in their second innings. It still looks like a draw but you never know.

There you go! I don't like to gloat ( Whistle

) but I will. Hats off to Norah for a quite brilliant captain's performance with bat and ball, and for getting the timing of the declaration spot on. An especially big clap

also to Burns and Sibley for great knocks to get it all going, Foakes for a splendid innings when we looked like we might tail off from our good start, then to all the bowlers for plugging away over 2+ days. How about that - we won a 4 day game with no contribution to speak of from either Curran (one absent), Roy or Ansari. Maybe - just maybe - we have the makings of a decent team, not just a few good individuals. Five to play and if we keep playing as a team like this, we should be safe. Well done chaps!!

Wow - at the end Surrey took four wickets in 20 balls. In the first innings (in the unlikely event that my maths are correct) Surrey took four wickets in 366 balls.

Looks like a cracking decision by Batty as to the timing of the declaration. clap

In all seriousness, if you look at the other matches Notts showed what could happen if you don't build on an opening partnership of c200, and Glam had a massive first innings lead after their innings of c500 but still came rather close to losing to Derby.

Congrats on the win guys. Your bowlers kept going and going and deserved it.

I won't say what i think about that performance from a Hampshire perspective as I'll end up using too many swear words.

by Corporalhumblebucket Wed 20 Jul 2016, 6:59 pm

I wonder who was the last Surrey player to score a century and take five wickets in an innings in a cc match? Erm

Thanks Jimbo! Tbf Hants massively disadvantaged by loss of Vince, Carberry and Dawson.

Easy one that, Corporal. Gareth Batty. Very Happy

Absolutely.

Sounded like he bowled well in the first innings as well albeit with no reward then.

Many thanks, Jimbo.

There was considerable fight by some of your players and those individuals probably merited coming away with a draw. Unfortunately, for them and you at least, not to be. The essential thing for Hants now though is to get a win. As Surrey know too well this season, that's not easy.

I had no idea but have been reliably informed by Marcus Hook, lynch pin of the Supporters' Club, that it was Brendon Julian who achieved the feat twice in 1996.

by Corporalhumblebucket Thu 21 Jul 2016, 10:23 am

Thanks, Guildford. I had forgotten about Julian. As I recall he was an exciting player for Surrey, although not overly consistent with the bat. I imagine he would have been in his element in T20.

by guildfordbat Thu 21 Jul 2016, 10:35 am

Hi Corporal - I would have been down the London salt mines most of the '96 season so don't really recall Julian playing for Surrey. Think more of him in a few appearances for Australia. Heck of an achievement and especially to do it twice. I hope the same can be achieved by Norah! Very Happy

by Corporalhumblebucket Thu 21 Jul 2016, 12:36 pm

Interesting that after the match Batty criticised Hants for over bowling Mason Crane, the young leg spinner who got through 51 overs. That was 21 overs more than Berg (the second most used bowler) and more than double the overs of any other Hants bowler.

Batty himself seems, consistently, to have taken care not to over bowl Sam Curran, to the extent that some posters on this site have wondered how much confidence Batty has in his bowling. (By contrast many of us here have been concerned that the still relatively youthful Tom Curran was - match after match - being bowled into the ground!)

by guildfordbat Thu 21 Jul 2016, 1:37 pm

Corporal - I don't know the circumstances in which Batty commented on the number of overs bowled by Crane (is there an interview on youtube I've missed?) but am rather surprised he apparently allowed himself to get involved.

Following on from your post, I would not expect Batty to be too chuffed if another county captain suggested Tom Curran was being overbowled.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 21 Jul 2016, 1:49 pm

Seems rather silly and unnecessary - especially considering we have to play Hampshire again this season

Giving them even a hint of extra motivation isn't what's needed
