Hampshire through to the T20 Quarter Finals

Sara did her usual stint at Morning Star this morning and I attended Mid-Week Eucharist at St. John’s Church which was taken by Cynthia. Rosemary kindly gave me a lift back.  I walked to the post office and back to get some cash for this evening’s cricket.  Thom couldn’t make up his mind whether he wanted to come to the cricket or not but eventually decided to do so. We picked up Richard and I drove to the Ageas Bowl for Hampshire’s last T20 game against Middlesex.  Hampshire had already qualified for the Quarter Finals with a home draw and Middlesex were hoping to win tonight in order to get a “wild card” away place in the quarter Finals.  Hampshire won the toss and seceded to bat first putting on a very good 190 runs for the loss of only 3 wickets (one of which was Carberry (for only 5).  Middlesex put on a good show by return but could only manage 182 for 7 by the end of their twenty over innings.   A good, but close win (8 runs) for Hampshire who will face Lancashire at the Ageas Bowl next Wednesday in the Quarter Final tie.  Hopefully I can get tickets tomorrow.
