down the ground and it's all over! The field was up, the ball was full, Carberry thudded it past mid-off and Hampshire finally make the finals of the T20 cup!
Essex vs Hampshire, 1st Semi-Final at Southampton, Aug 14 2010 - Match Result
Enterprising cameo by Carberry to get them there, he was superb between the wickets and that must have put off Essex psychologically when the stakes were even in the last few overs. Nevertheless, it was quite an intriguing game. Essex will look back at their innings and wish they batted better in those last ten overs.
That's it for the moment. Catch the second semi between Notts and Somerset. That's set to begin at 15.00 local time but its raining at the Rose Bowl. It's goodbye for now. Cheers
