Hampshire managed to win the tournament a couple of years ago by creating dustbowls at home and packing the side with spin, and I reckon it's the best way forward. Should Guptill sign, I see us lining up like this:<br />Guptill<br />Chanderpaul<br />Durston<br />C Hughes<br />Whiteley<br />Madsen<br />Johnson<br />Clare/Groenewald<br />Wainwright<br />Turner<br />Burgoyne/Knight/A Hughes if wicket will seam<br /><br />Also today I saw that Anthony McGrath has retired from Yorkshire. With Root and Bairstow likely to be gone to England as well, perhaps it makes our line up look pretty decent?!Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-19829513705627140492013-02-19T11:19:19.773+00:002013-02-19T11:19:19.773+00:00Yes,Guptill looks to be back on song.

He,s too good a player not to bounce back and i,m sure we all hope he returns for the T20.<br /><br />Like you,Peakfan,I hope we can mount a serious challenge in T20 and hopefully qualify for the latter stages. similarly a good campaign in CB40 would also be welcome. We have lagged behind in the shorter forms of the game and we need to do something about it. Yes,the Championship is important,but we mustn,t look at it as the bee all and end all. Iv,e said before on here,winning is a good habit to get into and creates the right mentality all round. <br /><br />Marcnoreply@blogger.com
