Thread: GLAMMY

    Re: GLAMMY

    Ordinarily Glammy would get a bumper crowd on Friday night but once again the weather looks dreadful. Four successive abandoned home games is on the cards and is rotten luck. Great win tonight though.

    Only halfway through the group stage so far. Each team plays 14 games.

    While of course, all of these home abandonments are very bad financially for the club, it may be argued that they are no bad thing in playing terms when you look at our home and away results in one day cricket over the past three seasons.

    In 2015 our home record in T20 and 50 over cricket read won seven, tied one, lost six and one no result, last year it was slightly better with seven wins and five losses, but this year it reads won two, lost three and three no results. So, that's a total of sixteen wins, one tie, lost fourteen and four no results - with sixteen wins from thirty five games, we've won less than half of our home matches since 2014.

    By contrast, our away record is very good, with seven wins, three defeats and one no result in 2015, four wins, three losses and four no results last year and five wins and two defeats this year - we've won sixteen, lost only eight and had five no results since 2014, so we're winning away twice as often as we lose - we win getting on for sixty per cent of our away matches and lose only just over a quarter of them.

    For decades, what one day success Glamorgan achieved was very reliant on our tendency to bowl better on slow, low Cardiff pitches than our opponents did. Much of this was down to us having good one spinners in Croft and Cosker, but these days, I'd say that most teams we play have better spin attacks than us - seems to me that we need to find a way of getting more pace into our home pitches or we should concentrate on spinners when we look at overseas signings next season.

    Yep all true Paul. However the club are hard up and desperately need the revenue. We could very easily be knocked out in the quarter final if we qualify so whilst the abandonments don't hinder chances of qualification they badly damage revenue streams. Let's hope the weather forecast improves. It's top v second with Surrey fielding a number of fine players. Add on the Ingram and Miller factor and I reckon Glammy could pull in 10,000 if it was a sunny evening.

    Apologies, I thought everyone played each other only once.
    A lot of games to get through seeing as we are almost into August.
    Hope we do not fade

    Kent need 90 off 9 but crucially have nine wickets in hand. They are favourites

    46 needed off 3 overs now. A massive ask.

    Great win.

    Was looking very doubtful half way through the Kent innings.

    Brilliant decision to bring Wagg back for his fourth over after leaking runs before.

    Great performance looking forward to Friday at the oval should be a good one ... plenty of beer too

    Yep great win and Rudolph had a good day. He batted well again and his bowling changes mostly paid off. Two more wins from five games will see us qualify I reckon. That's four away games and four wins. That's very impressive. Good to see Donald doing well and pleased to see Carey included

    I suppose having so many in the team who can bowl means that you can have a couple of your front line bowlers having an off day and still be able to cover for them- to have your seventh choice bowler come on and be as effective as Meschede was is a real bonus. Glamorgan have also made big scores in their last two completed matches without a major contribution from Ingram.

    There's a massive difference between viewings and postings, but it shows people on here are interested

    That is interesting.
    Closet cricket fans perhaps?
    It does attract the odd post even if its just to have a pop at someone or something.
    It's probably more to do with the fact that it is the closest thing to football posted during the close season i.e. at least it's sport.

    Probably

    Did you see that Moen ended the test match with a hat trick, the first test match hat trick at the Oval in the 100th test match held there,only the third time a test match ended in a hat trick

    Nah. Pig sick I missed it, was watching at lunchtime.

    It seems that there is always a stat to be had but this is a big one, especially for a spinner to record it.
    I like Moeen Ali. Can bat a bit too.
