Cerrertonia Sep 2021 3:41pm, 23 Sep 2021 14,776 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia Was expecting Warks to go out and throw the bat, but Sibley seems to be in Boycott mode currently. Maybe the plan is to see out 10 overs of the new ball and then go for it.

Cerrertonia Sep 2021 3:54pm, 23 Sep 2021 14,777 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia In fairness, they have picked up the pace now. Enjoying watching the livestream of the Lancashire/Hampshire game - such a nice old ground at Liverpool, great it to see it so full. It's not often you see standing spectators at a county championship game

Cerrertonia Sep 2021 4:07pm, 23 Sep 2021 14,778 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia Yes, although it only takes a wicket to change things. Seems like Mason Crane is tying up the batsmen quite effectively at one end, but the quicks at the other end are conceding runs - perhaps not surprising with the number of slip fielders. I wonder why Hampshire picked three spinners but have only used one.
Cerrertonia Sep 2021 4:11pm, 23 Sep 2021 14,779 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia Hadn't realised that Keith Barker is still playing county cricket. He's Clive Lloyd's godson, played for Lancashire as a teenager, but gave up cricket to play for Blackburn Rovers, which didn't work out and he then played in the Lancashire League from where he got picked up by Warwickshire.
Goofee Sep 2021 4:16pm, 23 Sep 2021 3,896 posts	Quote Pin Goofee He's been at Hampshire for a couple of seasons now, very solid left-arm pace and some decent lower order runs, an important part of the team.
