Potgieter and Orr Show Backbone as Hampshire Move Off The Bottom - So How Wins Would Secure Safety?

Now Hampshire will hope that his return to first team action has been similarly well-timed after his second innings effort helped Russell Domingo's side secure a second successive Division One draw against Surrey this week.

The 25-year-old returned to the side in the T20 Blast on Friday night, as Hampshire continued their stunning white ball form with a fifth victory in six matches against the Brown Caps.

But it's in the County Championship where Hampshire supporters have been crying out for his return. And for good reason.
