Title: Essex v Hampshire
Post by: Stuey on July 15, 2014, 03:59:55 PM

Anyone know the story behind Essex using 10 bowlers and Hamps using 7 bowlers?

assumed it was to break the 8th wkt partnerhsip, even so 10 bowlers and Bopara only bowled 1 over.

Played at an out ground which may influence it, not sure?

Hampshires 7 bowlers are all regular bowlers anyway more or less, bit surprised Essex used all 10 players though when clearing through the lineup so quickly!

I'd be more shocked at the fact Panesar hit a 6 personally...  :o
