Lancashire struggling despite Karl Brown’s half-century against Hampshire
Lancashire were struggling in a match of the County Championship Division One against Hampshire, at the Rose Bowl, Southampton in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. The team reached 96 runs for the loss of three wickets, until lunch at the first day’s play on Tuesday, May 24th,
2011.
Conditions were good for batting at the Rose Bowl, as the sun was out and the pitch didn’t have anything for the bowlers in it. There were no surprises at the toss, as the captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Chilton-c1900, elected to bat first. He expected his batsmen
to post a massive first innings total and put pressure on the opposition.
However, the start to the innings was not an ideal one for the visitors, as they lost both openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572, early. The new ball did swing to a certain extent, but Horton tried to attack the bowlers from the very first delivery of the
match. He struck one four in the very first over, but tried to be ultra aggressive, throwing his wicket away.
The seasoned campaigner managed only five runs off three balls and was sent back to the pavilion on the last ball of the first over. His opening partner, Moore, looked more sensible, as he tried to construct a partnership with the team’s first-drop, Karl
Brown.
However, things didn’t work out well for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moore-c77694, as he was dismissed after adding just 18 runs to the total. He looked well set at the crease, but edged one out-swinging delivery to the hands of the wicketkeeper.
This brought the visitors’ skipper in the middle, but he failed to make an impression. He struggled to get going from the very first delivery and finally got out after managing just seven runs for his team.
Lancashire were struggling at 65 for three, but Brown held things together for the team. He scored a terrific half-century and remained unbeaten until the session was called off by the umpires. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steven-Croft-c2583 also stayed focused at the crease, scoring eight
runs in a 35-run partnership with Brown.
