Excellent post! Happy Christmas

I lost that in 1991!!

Awful - KWP at centre half is just wrong - should be 3 down & lack in nigh on every area! Take off Manning bring on Aribo - doubt it would change much - we just need to show some passion!

Try & pass to a player that side then not down the middle

Shocking - he had to kick it into touch towards the Itchen Stand!

First goal was more Downes than anyone but no doubting it was a poor throughout - 2nd all AM’s fault! He did have a good game in spite of that but imo we win with Ramsdale in goal - or even if the pen on AA at 2-1 was given!

Australia are an aging side that hasn’t changed - we clearly will have a chance- in fact any scoreline is possible. NZ is a much harder test atm in my opinion.

You’re linked to Surrey - you could be the Keeper!!

Totally unplayable that day!

Nothing has fascinated me more with cricket or I know as much about the game as The Bodyline series tho! I was 12 years old when I first read about it & for me, it has the best characters & true drama never matched before or since! I used to slick back my hair & pretend I was Jardine!

Proctor’s 4 wickets in five balls haunts me to this day! Richard’s, Greenidge, Jesty (all great Hants players) oh & John Rice!!

County - Greenidge & Marshall

England - Gower & Botham

One of the above - Marshall!

My love for cricket is the same wherever- maybe you’ve been drinking a nasty scrumpy version!

How I’d love us to have a Bumrah at our disposal- that spell was as good as anything I’ve seen!

It will be us 150 all out this time next year - I fear the usual whitewash
