Vic Isaacs - 2 July 2001
Much of Hampshire's CricInfo championship success apart from their excellent bowling prowess, has been their tail end batting in the 2001 season.
Hampshire best opening partnerships this year have been 62, 61 and 59, whereas down the order there have been century partnerships for the seventh and ninth wickets, two partnerships in the 90s for the ninth, and a high of 80 for the last wicket.
Taking each partnership seperately, the following table shows some interesting facts.
