Shahid Afridi and Tino Best set for Hants 50-over debuts... but Carberry injured

Hampshire are still without Michael Carberry for their Royal London One-Day Cup double header against Gloucestershire and Surrey.

Carberry, who has been unavailable for the last four limited-overs matches because of a hand injury, will also miss the next two.

Gareth Berg has also been left out again after missing the record T20 defeat at Surrey last Thursday, two games into his comeback from a knee injury.

Where is Brad Taylor? Is he injured or just not being considered for the first team? If fit he must be a better option with both bat and ball than the consistently under performing Will Smith.

Unfortunately, he is injured also. Along with pretty much every other decent Hampshire bowler. He fell down the stairs during a second XI match against Somerset in April. That pretty much sums up Hampshire's season.

Tino Best once again getting cuffed around today against Gloucestershire. He has been so poor in all three formats of the game for Hampshire and yet somehow he continues to get picked.  ::confused::

That second XI match against Somerset was Tino's first appearance for Hampshire. A coincidence, I'm sure 

Moral of this story is: never trust a Bajan male behind you 

I don't trust him much with the ball these days. 10 wicketless overs for 75 runs today. Hampshire need to chase down 353 to win. Without Vince and Carberry, I can't see that happening.

Tino has always been a waste .....

more showman than worker !

he bed more women than he had wickets

Brilliant effort from Gareth Andrew, but Hampshire fall 10 runs short. They just ran out of wickets too early. The loss of Will Smith sparked a bit of a collapse and it was always going to be difficult to chase down such a big score with only a handful of wickets left. Close, but no cigar, the story of Hampshire's season so far.
