Title: Hampshire vs. Durham
Post by: langer17 on August 13, 2011, 12:33:17 PM

Righto then, what's gone on here - http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2011/engine/current/match/492138.html

Is that because of the riots? I ask because the other game's don't have this and I have never seen it happen before

No basically phil mustard asked if he could declare and asked if hampshire would declare to make more of a match as it has been rained off most of the time ,
Great idea in my opinion ,
Just due Durham wanting the points

Fair enough then. Still very strange but it is a good idea.

It's good to see teams pushing for victories instead of playing for a boring draw. Fair play to the captains for agreeing it!
