Hampshire Cricket History 
The Hampshire Squad (14) is now on our website. I guess they can probably field more than 11. Abbott has arrived but not Abbas.
In some sort of batting order:
Weatherley; Organ; Alsop; Vince; Northeast; Dawson; McManus (w/k); Holland; Fuller; Currie; Abbott; Crane; Stevenson; Wheal.
Comment by pompeypop March 24, 2021 @ 3:46 pmNo Keith Barker … or Brad Taylor.
Comment by pompeypop March 24, 2021 @ 4:36 pmI read this week that Barker is still recovering from his surgery over the winter, hoping to be fit for the friendly next week. Surprised not to see Taylor or Donald involved at all.
Comment by joelhesslegrave March 25, 2021 @ 10:28 amWill be good to see the boys and hear you again. Of team listed I guess one of the top 3, currie and Stevenson/wheal will be left out. And great to see Dawson back and Abbott ready to go
Comment by Michael S March 24, 2021 @ 7:25 pmDave, Has Donald not recovered from his injury?
Comment by Alan Edwards March 25, 2021 @ 10:13 amGood question, I’ll enquire. I’m afraid that it’s a bit damp for the 10.30 start, more covers going on.

Comment by pompeypop March 25, 2021 @ 11:26 amVery sorry but 15 minutes later it’s raining again.
Comment by pompeypop March 25, 2021 @ 11:46 amNo, it wasn’t – (early lunch)

Comment by pompeypop March 25, 2021 @ 12:32 pmI’m delighted to report that I have just spotted my first footballing cricketer of the season, Jack White of Northants. His team mates (white stripes) are out there with him. Play seems imminent.
