Unfortunately I've got a T20 season ticket but there's always the bar.
Some good stuff from Bailey, McManus and Vince from Hants, but also from Wagg.
He was the only one to stack the spinners and use his feet. Very disappointed in how placid our batsmen were with the spin. It's simple at Sofia.
Use your feet get down the pitch and hit hard and straight to the short boundaries.
Still enjoyed a couple of hours with my son and there's always a pleasant atmosphere at the cricket. A laid back contrast to the stress of the footy in a few weeks
Will go to as many as I can - win or lose
Pretty much sums up my thoughts aswell.Quote:

Can't see the crowds staying as high as last night's attendance either- think it was boosted by the £10 offer and they'll struggle to sell as many at £15+
That surprises me as wellQuote:

However, it remains a pleasant way to welcome the weekend, family friendly and a way to support and generate interest in local sport.
The stuff that has us tearing out hair out is back shortly so let's make the most of this gentle interlude.
It's a bit easier for me than you Mike.Quote:

7/2 off 3.4 overs against Sussex. Says it all.
Lloyd made 3 off 13 balls. It's not his fault he is being picked but it's gone on too long now. I gather after the Cheltenham debacle the players had a football training session. I have no idea whether that's true but they should be working their arses off to improve.
Is that true, football training session? So the management think that fitness is the issue here?Quote:

Not sure how many are down there today but those who are don't go just for the cricket that's for sure

Mac. I read it on the Glamorgan cricket messageboard. I hope it's not true because as you say they should be in the bloody nets. Now 132/2 with 5 overs to go. Ingram and Rudolph doing well after such a poor start. We need 200 especially with Wright and Nash opening for Sussex.Quote:

198 will take that :thumbup:Quote:

I've slagged our batsmen off all season, and rightly so, but Colin Ingram is one of the best limited overs batsmen out there - cracking knock, 101 off 47.
Let's hope the bowlers can get us over the line. :thumbup:
Hogan 2/2. Sussex 27/2 off 3.3. Need to get Luke Wright outQuote:

43 required off 2.1.... gotta be over Shirley Pearcey? :hide:Quote:

This is Glammy but Shirley.....
Wright gone. Yesss. Nearly there but Chris Jordan is a big hitter. We really should win though with 23 required off Hogan.Quote:

Hopefully we can have some good weather and a decent crowd for Somerest next Saturday night. It will be good to drive to the game without all that Friday night traffic.
I switched the commentary on to hear Edward Bevan saying Sussex needed thirty four to win when they really needed ten less than that and then he said that's gone for six, only for Wright to be caught a second or two later.
Famous last words, but I think Glamorgan are a middling one day side and so I'd expect them to finish their normal fourth or fifth in this group, but I reckon there isn't a worse batting or spin bowling team in the four day game than us.
Well done glammy especially Ingram
Bevan should have been pensioned off years ago (if he should ever have had the job in the first place). It's embarrassing to listen to him.
Well done Glammy though.
