Is anyone watching the live stream this Hampshire supporting commentator is getting a tad excited

I’m watching on YouTube and the Lancs commentator is Scott Reid the BFC commentator for 2BR & then Radio Lancs

165-5, 31 needed, but Vilas survived a vehement LBW appeal off Crane.

The Hants commentator is Kevan James I think, left arm seamer who played for them and Middx in 80's and 90's

Warwickshire 78/0 and lead by 56 runs in their second innings.

Wood gone, but it shouldn't matter, only 9 needed, a couple of lusty blows will do it.

2 needed but Blatherwick on strike.

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 5:18 pm

For those of a nervous disposition Kings 11 Punjab needed 4 off the last over the other night and didn’t win. Blatherwick on strike 2 needed.

Lancs lost their heads in those closing overs, thankfully Vilas maintained his composure to steer us home, but we almost grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory.

Whatever we'll be in the BWT, although having glanced at the forecast I sadly fear rain will win the day come next week.

Warwickshire 179-1, lead of 157 heading into the final day, what's encouraging for Lancashire is this is still a good pitch, and it'll be tough for the home side to amass the runs, and then take 10 Somerset wickets in the time remaining.

Well it was until you typed that..... cue Somerset 48 all out chasing 300 to win.

Well if Warks want the win, which they have to go for, then they'll need to dangle Somerset a carrot to chase, so we may see a fairly early declaration tomorrow morning, this is why that time which Somerset spent at the crease in their 1st innings has presented Warwickshire with a problem.

Is it too much to ask for a rain shower of two in the Birmingham area tomorrow.

Do you happen to know what the rationale is behind the final next week? Is it a new addition? Not something I'd heard of before

bodge · Post by **bodge** » Thu Sep 23, 2021 7:45 pm

Weather set fair at Edgbaston tomorrow and Somerset have been fluffy in the Championship all season, so I fancy Warks to do the business, Bres will be well fired up.
