where would we be without him
apart from Gubbins and Brown this is a squad with one of the most inexperienced, green selection of batsmen in recent history

All out for 235.
Another crushing defeat incoming.

Shocking. A little bit of hope that something similar to the Warks/Yorks game could happen, but more likely to be facing a first innings deficit.
Can't survive on first innings scores of less than 250.

Left the game when Hants were about 210 for 5, thinking "ah at least one bonus point will be in the bag here".
Oh.
A little bit reminiscent of watching England team in the 90s. Overwhelmingly pretty poor, occasional flurry, and always capable of throwing away a dominant position.

Get into a great position and throw it all away again.

And his batting average this season you could count on one hand.

that could equally apply to most of the top order ex lehmann

Can they bring replacements in to cover for these eventualities or do they have to stick with the original squad submitted at the start of the season?

county cricket seems about as loose as nonleague football when it comes to players coming and going willy-nilly, but left arm spinners don't grow on trees

Playing to form. We’ve been on a steep decline for a few years now and really should have been relegated last season. Still don’t understand what happened to Durham that day.

The replacement allrounder from South Africa is going to confuse everyone, bats lefthanded and bowls righthanded, let's hope he comes good.

The two overseas players hanging on for the moment.

Looks as though Lehmann in particular has done enough to get the draw.
Although whenver I think "looks like they've played themselves into a good position", particularly with the batters, a collapse is never far away.
But they shouldn't lose this now, 161 ahead with four wickets and one session left.
As mentioned earlier by others, wonder if Hants can dip into the loan market to get a batsman or two. Apart from Lehman, the current lot are under-cooked.
