Sean asked how the famous 1922 victory at Edgbaston was reported in the 1923 ‘Handbook’ (Hampshire County Cricket Guide). The answer is in the picture below. There is no mention of the match in the Introduction and no article summarising the season.
One or two by the Heritage Committee (and the commentators!!) to coincide with (a) the date (Yorkshire match) and (b) v Warwickshire. I think we should organise a mass applause in the latter when we reach 16!
Whilst I appreciate this isn’t the place for a franchise cricket love in I’m sure a few bloggers care what the Hants players get up to.
Red ball as well with Gubbins going to Zim!

According to a report I saw somewhere on the net the total could have been seven. The four extras were byes off a ball the Warwickshire bowler bowled before the wicketkeeper was ready. Tennyson’s four came off a dropped catch off the first ball of his innings and he was out the next ball.

Yes indeed. If Bloggers don’t all know, Stephen is the author of the most recent Hampshire Cricket Bibliography and two supplementary updates – and he has most of them!

Any plans to mark the centenary?

Comment by James February 26, 2022 @ 12:37 pmPreferably by totalling considerably more than 15 at Edgbaston between 26th and 29th September!
Comment by dmashala February 25, 2022 @ 5:29 pmWell that’s one way to report it. Could try that approach for the Hundred. Thanks Dave
Comment by Sean February 25, 2022 @ 7:43 pmLovely!!
Comment by Dave Allen February 26, 2022 @ 10:06 amIt wasn’t to be for Liam Dawson at the PSL.
His team lost yesterday in their semi-final.
He performed well though, taking 2-24 from 4 overs including a wicket maiden. He got Sussex (Lancashire now?) batter Phil Salt out.
That’s it for Hants players playing overseas I think!
Comment by Tom Johnson February 26, 2022 @ 9:32 amWell done Tom. You are now the Blog’s official white ball overseas, winter correspondent (and thank you)

Comment by Colin Price February 26, 2022 @ 9:55 amSeven would have been even better – a complete record in the Championship and we’d still have won easily!
Comment by Dave Allen February 26, 2022 @ 10:09 amHi, Dave. You beat me to it. But at least bloggers know that I can help on that score.
Comment by Stephen February 26, 2022 @ 9:56 amYes indeed. If Bloggers don’t all know, Stephen is the author of the most recent Hampshire Cricket Bibliography and two supplementary updates – and he has most of them!
