It’s the title of one of those influential books in my life – written by John Arlott, although he never went to anything like I might today (will it be dry?)
Meanwhile at the Ageas Bowl Hampshire v Glamorgan – here’s the Tigger link:

Or alternatively, thanks to the Radio Times for listing Hampshire v Gloucestershire
All preceded by them Vipers, live and on telly

Hampshire Cricket History 
Hampshire won toss and field v Yorks. Starting on time. Jimmy Adams and Will Smith are polaying plus Hay, Holland, F Organ, Scrivener, Sole, Hart, Lintott, Salisbury and Wheal. Wilfred Rhodes seems to be in the Yorks team.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 9:16 amCricHQ tells me Unsure has just got one off Brad Wheal, and it is now 12-0 off 2.1. It’s been like that for half an hour. Perhaps I shouldn’t be so tight and pay for the full version . . .
Comment by Bob Elliott August 10, 2017 @ 10:32 amVERY IMPRESSIVE performance in the field by Hampshire. Yorkshire did not survive 20 overs and are all out for 100. Wickets shared around by the five bowlers (plus run outs). Fraser Hay is the ’emergency’ wicketkeeper
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 10:44 amHants 9-0 after one oveR – FIRST SIX ALREADY BY FRASER HAY
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 10:59 amTwo overs: 25-0
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 11:02 am38-0 after 3 overs, Adams 21, Hay 14
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 11:06 amSix overs: 60-0, Adams 32*, Hay. 25*
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 11:17 amHay out for 26, Hampshire after ten overs are close to victory with Jimmy hitting a ‘free hit’ for six now past 50. 96-0
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 11:35 amHampshire won by nine wickets in the 12th over. Adams 57* Holland 9*
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 11:41 amSecond game, Lancashire batting v Sussex – openers: Davies & Hameed. I’ll post the result later.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 12:14 pmSorry, Hameed playing but NOT opening
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 12:16 pmAs Jimmy and Dutchy are in the squad for tonight at the ‘Bowl, are there any ‘spares’ down there, Dave? I’m confined to barracks at the moment – woul love to have been there!
Comment by Bob Elliott August 10, 2017 @ 12:20 pm149-5 Lancs at the close. Young (and older) Middleton here but I’m wondering whether, since that 14 man squad was for today AND tomorrow, they will simply remain here and play. No sign of either departing, Hants players sitting in front of us on the boundary. Mason Crane was here but he’s probably departed now.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 1:32 pmSussex need two to win with six wickets down, confounding my prediction of a tie and a super over! Robson, 89* to face.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 2:58 pmShould have said, last over but now it is over – with four balls to spare. South coast derby in the Final. All news to follow.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 3:00 pmFinal starts at 4.40
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 3:03 pm10 minutes to the start and it is a quite beautiful late-ish summer evening, very still and (T20!) VERY QUIET. Not a single snatch of Who Let the Dogs Out or Sweet Caroline all day, no fancy dress and really thoroughly enjoyable
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 3:30 pmBoth teams unchanged so Adams and Holland are staying here
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 3:32 pmPower play over and the threatening Wells just bowled by Sole. Six overs, Sussex are 52-2
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 4:04 pmDave, is there a scorecard? Would appreciate one if there is (especially if we win!)
Comment by Bob Elliott August 10, 2017 @ 4:12 pmYes Bob, I have two spare for you and Mr Griffiths
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 5:04 pm10 overs, Sussex 86-2. Finch & Rawlins going well.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 4:18 pm112-3 in 13th Rawlins out for 40. One wicket each for Wheal, Sole & Holland
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 4:29 pmThem Vipers won comfortably by 9 wkts and 21 overs.
Comment by Paul August 10, 2017 @ 4:37 pmPerhaps we should borrow a keeper, I see there’s one going spare at Essex. He’d strengthen the batting as well.
Comment by Paul August 10, 2017 @ 4:44 pmAfter 17 overs Sussex are 144-3
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 4:44 pmFinch bowled from no ball, two caught from free hits, Finch has 52*

Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 4:59 pmIt’s suddenly very dark here. One over, 13-1, Hay bowled for 4.
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 5:13 pmDickinson and Alsop playing at the ‘Bowl. Dickinson dons the gloves.

Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 5:43 pm80-5 from 10 overs. Chris Sole hitting sixes
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 5:48 pm93-6 from 12 Chris Sole out, ASher Hart joins Will Smith (26*)
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 5:55 pmWill has gone and it’s 106-7 in the 15th
Comment by Dave Allen August 10, 2017 @ 6:03 pmCricHQ packed up then! What happened next?
Comment by Bob Elliott August 10, 2017 @ 6:25 pmSorry, no idea. I left when the 8th wicket fell, drove back from Arundel to Pompey only to discover the result is no where and the score on CricHQ is earlier than the last one I gave.
If we won, it’s because someone like Salisbury hit 50 from the last two overs!
Comment by pompeypop August 10, 2017 @ 6:56 pmDickinson looks very good behind the stumps 2 stumpings
Comment by Paul August 10, 2017 @ 6:19 pmGood Pompey name too!
Comment by pompeypop August 10, 2017 @ 8:32 pmBorn in Natal though!
Comment by Paul August 10, 2017 @ 9:35 pmI believe South African birth is compulsory nowadays for aspiring cricketers Paul!
