[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Hoppos looking great in the field today, got out today playing an agressive shot. I reckon he may get runs again agaisnt Midfdlesex in the bank holiday game on Monday.

Nobby's Interval Salad Item... I hope you're right about the flow of runs from CDH continuing today - as you are obviously a keen follower I'll add you into the Hoppo Sweepstake with a "110+" category to yourself...

Lord Bracknell is henceforth downgraded to "85-109" (apologies Lord B, although I'm sure you'll agree that still represents an enviable hand...)

I'd love the 110 plus catagory if the Lord is okay with that.

Would be even better if he starts to hit form on the back of it.

At Hove as we speak Midlesex on 203-3 with Nash bowling from the sea end. We should have played Raynor today, reckon we fancy chasing down a big score, with Hoppo going for an agressive ton.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Hoppos warmimg up, he just taken a fine catch down on the boundary ropes at the Gilligan end. Middlesex 210 for 4 after 42.2 overs. Nash bowling well.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

well, Grizzly's ton and a 7 wicket win meant that Hoppo was denied the chance to build on his encouraging form ... next action is FPT v. Slurrey on Thursday...

16-19 looked nailed on to me....but at the moment it's been nowhere near the mark.

[Moshe Gariani]

the Old Brightonian run machine will be sleeping easily on 16* tonight - having rendered the sweepstake miserablists pointless once more - and unless it rains all day tomorrow I can't see joy for anyone with a lower spread than Don Tmatter...

Cheers Hoppo.. keep up the good work

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Hoppo gets 38 today.

3pts for me.

yes, well done on last week's effort Falmer... your late 30s spread is looking very favourable, although I do think you're going to miss out as Carl begins to convert his decent starts into bigger totals...

Hoppo should WALK the Emirates 'Player of the Month Award' for May - providing there's no gerrymandering of course.
Presentation will be at the Hove during the Hants 20:20 game on 13th June btw.
