There is talent there and I think they can have a good season especially in T20 but it’s been a very poor couple of weeks.

Poor couple of weeks definitely.
It’s the batsmen that’s letting the team down.
Same as the previous three seasons then - some allowance has to be made for it being such a young batting line up in the four day game especially, but someone like Donald has been playing for a few years now and yet seems to be going backwards (I assume he was dropped for yesterday's match despite Carlson being unavailable because of university exams?).
And he was playing for us two or three years ago, he had a poor time of it last season and has barely scored a run this time around. I was hoping the attention being paid towards our batting in terms of new coaching arrivals and an experienced pro who was recruited to help the younger players out would have bore some fruit, but the first innings of the season apart (I'm beginning to think we scored a quarter of our runs for the season in that innings), it's been the same as usual.
I can remember us being beaten by Leicester three or four years as they recorded their first win in three seasons I think it was and now we've given them a victory to end another long winless run for them in yet another match lost by our "specialist" batsmen.
How long ago was it when he scored that double century up in Colwyn Bay?
Another hopeless performance by Glamorgan in the one day cup, thrashed by Somerset by 83 runs. Marchant de Lange followed up his dismal effort on Friday against Gloucester by going for over 11 runs an over :shrug:
Aw well that’s 2 of the 3 competitions over for Glamorgan already then......
Yes it is sadly. Marsh needs to be doing better and I do wonder whether Salter is worth persevering with. He is 25 in July and has a bowling average of 51 so he certainly is not good enough as a bowler.He isn’t a specialist batsman so I do think he is fortunate to be in the team.
GLAMMY 97-3 chasing 305 V Middlesex ...giving their wickets away as usual
Going well now 218-3 off 37 on Sky
Spoke too soon!!!
Bugger
Wagg gone...curtains
FFS.
Yet another predictable capitulation from Glamorgan. Rubbish.
That game should have been won
Yes it should. Middlesex should not have got over 300 from where they were with two overs to go.
Lloyd and Ingram were well in control but one of them had to be there at the end.
I think time has run out for Salter. He doesn’t take wickets and is not good enough to play as a specialist batsman. Marsh needs to start justifying his pay.
A bit baffled by Ingram’s bowling changes too. He and Carey were comfortably the most economical but neither bowled ten overs.
