Very disappointing. The fielding was poor and the bowling weak. Sussex won at a canter with Wright and Evans in complete control.

Thought the batting lacked urgency too.
Several sharp singles and 2s turned down.
Didn’t really try to attack the spinner, who got 2-27 off his 4.
Still had loads of wickets in hand, needed to take more risks and could maybe have got 190
Don’t think opening the bowling with Salter was a good move, Wagg was awful bowling far too short and Meschede not up to much either.
Don’t understand why Glam don’t try to get a top class spinner in if they want to win the T20
Fielding was tough. The outfield was very hard, fast and bumpy in areas.
Both sides struggled.
Wright is our nemeses
Spot on Tim. Ingram batted really well but his running beteeen the wicket was dreadful. Cooke was nearly run out going for a second run which Ingram should have made but was not remotely interested in. We also got just two runs in the 17th over with loads of wickets in hand. Agree about the spinner too. We have stuck with Salter for too long
Replacement for Marsh named - about as good as we could get under the circumstances.

It’s a shame about Marsh and as you say due to time scale we’re not likely to get a better replacement
What is it about Glamorgan playing at home in one day cricket? I realise there were a lot of T20 matches rained off last season, but our record in home one days games (and at Cardiff in any competition) in recent seasons is woeful. Time was, the pitch at Cardiff would suit us, but we had Croft and Cosker (a limited spinner in the four day stuff, but very good when it came to limited overs) then and the low, slow, gently turning tracks would play into our hands, but now the only thing we win at Sophia Gardens is the occasional toss!
It would be easy to say that, as one of, if not the, weakest team(s) around, there is no sort of pitch which favours us more than our opponents, but the really strange thing is that our away record in T20 in particular over the same period is very good.

Once again Salter didn’t contribute anything with either his bowling or batting, and the Aussie replacement Burns, was stumped for 5
Burns looked totally out of form painfully scratching around. What is so disappointing this season is that the team looked laboured. The fielding is slow and the running between the wicket pathetic.
Having seen both home defeats I don’t think we will make the quarter finals. Salter is fortunate to be earning a living as a County cricketer. Both Wagg and Meschede bring little to the club these days.
If the money is there to bring in Khawaja and Burns for T20 then it should be there to bring some senior players to the club for the County Championship. The entire focus is in T20.
A real shame last night because there must have been 6000 plus at the match and yet once Ingram was out you just knew it was going to end in disappointment.
One other point. I wish they could sort out the parking. We ended up missing the first ten overs because we had to park a long way away.
You’re spot on Bob not a great start did anyone expect anything else though :shrug: they’re 11-4

17-5
I think Archer is an England player of the future mind, but we seem to have this attitude of let's get back to the real stuff (20/20) when we're playing four day cricket - our batting has been below first class level for about five years now in the four day game and nobody seems that bothered about it down there.
Even by Glammy' s standards, this is just shocking.
What the hell are the batting coaches teaching them?
34-6, will they get to fifty?
Pink ball cricket eh?
Very rosy us Surrey boys down at Trent Bridge
45-6 Cooke on 17 first to get to double figures
Have they got any batting coaches down there? if they have they’re not up to much, they seem to make promising youngsters like Donald was once, worse not better.
I think the whole set up is down there rotten from top to bottom, everything set up for T20 and they’re failing in that....heads must roll :thumbup:
61-7 at least they made 50
85 for 9 and you get run-out?
Wales has got a national side who play in the Minor Counties League. It's basically a stepping stone into the Glamorgan set up.
As a recently retired club cricketer, its breaking my heart to see how club cricket has fallen off the edge of a cliff. There are sides folding week after week. My club Pontypridd has dropped from four Saturday sides to basically two in the matter of just a couple of seasons and most other sides are in the same state. Sunday cricket is a thing of the past. In ten years time club cricket will have all but vanished in many areas, which doesn't augar well at all for Glamorgan. Cricket disappearing from terrestrial tv has all but signed the death warrant of what I consider to be the best Sport of them all.
