48-0

looks like the pitch has flattened out after day one, with our batsmen scoring runs this morning and now Gloucester are finding it easy.

You would say that with this being an out ground and with there being 2 LVCC games and a T20 in the space of a week, they could have left some juice in the pitch to let it dry out over ther course of the week, which would be better than it being dry at the start and it crumbling and falling apart at the end.

Overall there had been poor decisions, with team selection and at the toss.

Is it down to Hogan or Croft and Morris?

Give the spinners a go

Its not that simplistic that its down to an individual. There has been a cycle of continuously getting rid of coaches, and replacing them with the next, and then not really seeing any improvement of results and performances.

There are issues that go down to the core of the club, its catchment area and its finances, and the ages of its playing squad. I dont believe there is a simply solution to it all.

Whoever decided they didn't want to bowl first on that wicket, be it Croft or Hogan, or both, need a long hard look at themselves.

Message to Morris don't expect many fans turning up for the T20's after the last 2/3 games displays

Use the two days not used for batting practice

What a bunch of losers! 3 losses in a row.

A real shame as there's no reason to be optimistic about the T20's.

Had planned an Oval trip in August but think I'll knock that on the head.

Welsh sport a bit dire right now sadly.

Seriously question the whole management setup at the SWALEC. Is Theresa May behind it all?

Yep attendances will be affected and we will be going to less games.
We need to stop making excuses. What is happening goes beyond financial constraints. It's rank amateur.

I live ten minutes from Cheltenham College. The weather at 11am yesterday morning was dark and overcast. We know our batsmen are struggling and that the Cheltenham pitch is unreliable yet Hogan chooses not to ask Glos to bat. Rudolph made the same ridiculous decision earlier in the season. This is not hindsight. It's bloody obvious the ball was going to swing all over the place.

Then we have the farce over the batting order with poor Owen Morgan batting at three. Meanwhile one of our best batsmen came in at eight in the order today and for the second time in three innings was left stranded at one end when we were bowled out.

Then let's look at the number of extras we concede. We always concede more extras than the opposition with too many no balls and frankly too many free runs.

Once the T20 is over our youngsters need to be played. Morgan should stay in the side but bat lower down. Carlson in for Salter and Carey in for Wagg. Bragg needs to come back and as opener as it is pointless Rudolph playing any more first class cricket.

I hope Croft and Morris start talking with some honesty from now on because what is happening is beyond a joke.
