Dooogs Sep 2018 3:21pm, 18 Sep 2018 4,938 posts	0 Dooogs Looks like a good toss for Hants to win - Yorkshire are 110-6 and Kohler-Cadmore (who's scored about 99.94% of our runs recently) is out... PS That run out is a thing of beauty - I'd love to know what the non-striker's train of thought was...
GregP Sep 2018 3:25pm, 18 Sep 2018 106,905 posts	0 GregP I love the fact that we came so close to messing it up. It was brilliant. 13 professional cricketers on the field and not one of them emerged looking good.
TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 3:26pm, 18 Sep 2018 17,462 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper My god that is the most incompetent piece of professional sport I have ever seen from all parties involved. Reminds me a tad of this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbxLAoYSO4Q (It is IMPOSSIBLE not to laugh at this - even if the 2 deliveries don't get you, the tuck of the bat under the arm and removal of gloves like a proper batsman will....)
TRO Gompers Chomper Sep 2018 3:39pm, 18 Sep 2018 17,463 posts	0 TRO Gompers Chomper In fact I've just rewatched it with commentary and we can include the commentator as well - saying that 'there was nearly a run out there' at the point at which both batsman are stood at one end not moving while Essex are fumbling about with the ball on the square... Magnificent. Utterly magnificent.
Oscar the grouch Sep 2018 3:51pm, 18 Sep 2018 822 posts	0 Oscar the grouch The real incompetence is that the 'out' batsman would in fact have been 'in' if he had not left his ground long after the other batsman had gone past and the other fella would have been out... but agree the commentator must get an honourable mention.
