He's 'got in' so to speak in most of his innings,but then got out. Nice to see him get a bigger score even if it was at Boycott/Tavare pace.

402-5. A very good day. Great decision to put us in!
Finished 408-6, Root let a straight ball go and was plumb LBW. Watched a few hours today, doesn’t look a bad pitch, but Derbyshire bowled poorly on it.
Have Glamorgan played a match yet this season that both teams have been trying to win from start to finish?
Don't know about anyone else but I love the quirks that cricket scoreboards can often produce.
Today I'm drawn to the Warwickshire Middlesex game. Warwickshire were bowled out for just 60 in their 1st innings, then bowled Middlesex out for 199. I think 22 wkts fell on the first day yesterday. 3 of Warwickshires bowlers each had figures of 3-49, whilst the other bowler used got 1-49. I'm a bit disappointed though that 2 bowlers bowled 13 overs and the other 2 bowled 12 and 14.
Three bowlers each taking 3-49 in an innings must be a record surely, but I pity the poor sod who decides to try and confirm it :hehe:
I see two Surrey batsmen were out for 99 in their innings against Somerset, I would have thought there would be records kept on how often that happened.
Meanwhile Derbyshire plodded their way to 95-0 off forty overs against Glamorgan’s toothless attack in reply to our 521-8 declared before the rain came to put everyone out of their misery for the day.
A batting collapse by Derbyshire as Glamorgan enforce the follow on - just as in the first innings, Derbyshire have made a good start though and I think it’s going to be hard for us to force the win that we really need.
Unbeaten in the Championship this season. Good that they have been competitive in the last year or two after some dismal years in the 4 day game.
Don't look at the scorecard today........
pretty embarrassing stuff it must be said
48 point deduction for Yorkshire. 1 less team in contention
Worcestershire will fancy getting their fourth win of the season tomorrow if it stays dry at Cheltenham. I can remember Ingram and Cooke batting through a full day a few years back, but I can’t recall Glamorgan ever going wicketless in a day before. We’ve lost Hogan and Neser’s only going to play about forty per cent of our games. Meanwhile, the player presumably brought in to replace Hogan has barely played. We do have a fine bowler in Van Der Gugten, but he’s been bowled into the ground and it’s showing now, while Swepson has been unlucky to have conditions not suited to his type of bowling - currently our bowling attack is very weak.
Despite this, we are still in with a chance of getting second, but we really need to get the overseas signing we, presumably, will be making for our last three matches right and with two of them at home, we will need result pitches, not the usual Cardiff track which becomes flatter as the game goes on.
1st round of the one day cup today. Worcester away. Day off work. Heading up there in a few mins. Cmon Glammy.
Not a bad forecast for Worcester today, so you should see a full day's play. Nice ground Worcester.

49/2 in the 10th. Ingram unluckily run out at the non strikers end. Lovely straight drive by Byrom slight touch by the bowler on to the wicket Ingram out of crease.
122 -4 50 partnership Carlson and Kelleway. Kelleway has made 40 of them.
Watching a stream on You Tube, no sound though. Glamorgan going along at a good rate of over five an over, but losing wickets - 118-4 with Kellaway on an impressive 40 and Carlson happy to play second fiddle at the moment.
Carlson gives it away and a daft run out for Horton leaves us very reliant on Kellway to get a competitive total, 144-6 with Kellaway on 49.
Gorvin gone now as well.
And another 152/8.
Glamorgan did pretty well to get to 199 all out in the end. That score was almost entirely down to Kellaway who was last out for a bright and positive 82.
I’ll be surprised if Worcestershire struggle over what is a modest target though.
Well played Kellaway.
All fecked up with Carlsons poor shot and the crazy run out.
Well all I can say is that was a poor game , poor sides.
Kellaway batted well and looked good in the field. Thought the wicket keeper had a good game behind the stumps. Thats about it for our positives.
Sadly those 2 were involved in a stupid run out.
Too much emphasis on the hundred I think.
A hundred for Colin Ingram today as Glamorgan chased down a big total to win pretty easily at Derbyshire.
Glammy bit unlucky to fall short today, but Welsh Fire are looking good for both women's and men's victories at Edgbaston today.
Is Jonny Bairstow going to make an appearance at some point?
Easy win for the Welsh Fire men, who, even if they do nothing more from here, have been so much more competitive than in their first two seasons.
As for Glamorgan, I mentioned in the Hundred thread how Warwickshire had cheated their way to victory and, although Nick Webb was trying to be all even handed in his commentary and say it was a touch and go decision, I believe the fielder concerned, Ethan Brooks, knew he'd not taken a fair catch to dismiss Tim Van Der Gugten. It was one of those catches which you see so often these days where the catcher throws the ball infield before they cross the boundary and then step back into play and catch it - there was nothing wrong with that part of Brooks' "catch", but, in the process of making it in the first place, video pictures from no more than a few feet away of the play show him making contact with the boundary rope before throwing the ball up again for him to get back on the playing area.
My issue is that Brooks must have felt the rope on his foot as contact was made and yet still celebrated the catch. With no means to study the close up video pictures, the umpires had no option but to give Van Der Gugten out, but the crowd had seen what had happened and gave Brooks the stick he deserved - the guy's a cheat.
If you want to see something worse than our game on the weekend then have a look at Glammy's batting performance in the One Day Cup today. Total sh1te!
Despite their best efforts to turn what was looking like a bit of a doddle against Somerset into a defeat, Glamorgan scraped to a two wicket win at Taunton today thanks to a hundred from Byrom and seventies from Carlson and Root.
Glamorgan finished their One Day Cup campaign with a five wicket win over Northants despite their target being 341 - a hundred for Northeast scoring a hundred and Byrom and Ingram fifties.
Good finish to the campaign, how costly was that 6 given as out against Warwickshire
Yeah, I was thinking the same - one team I do not want to win this tournament is Warwickshire.
There was an even more blatant bit of cheating by a Northants fielder today who had hold of the rope as stopped the ball crossing for four. Glamorgan got two for it and both of the commentators, one for each team, were in no doubt that it was a four. - the fielder had to go off with an injury sustained in his bit of cheating.
Cracking chase from Glamorgan. Totally agree we were robbed with that decision. Looking at our lineup today it was so strong compared to other sides in the comp, I'd have backed us to win the finals.
That none of our players have got a game in the hundred is criminal. Carlson and Byrom especially after the way they batted in the T20. The one player who did make a squad is sitting on the bench so that Clarke and bairstow can fail game after game.
