Another shambolic failure by the top of the order.

Also, are we the only team who doesn't have an overseas T20 player - Shahid Afridi for Hampshire tonight, 4-20.

I feel sorry for Lloyd. He has been in hopeless form for a year now. He should be nowhere near the side. Hampshire were off to a flier whilst we lost two wickets in the first over. It's a sorry state of affairs. May not bother with the Somerset game next Saturday. No overseas player either. Any idea what the attendance was tonight? Doubt if it was more than 3000.

The attendance actually looked (and felt) decent tonight.

They closed the top half of the Fosters Stand, but that meant the rest of the main side of the ground was 3/4s full. Empty family stand & Pavilion.

A good few thousand.

Surprisingly, the attendance was actually 6300.

Blimey. Much better than I thought.

That surprises me as well

Thanks for that. Better than I thought then especially considering the teams poor form.

I watched the seconds play at St Fagans in a 20/20 game last Monday, Lloyd was dropped by the wicket keeper off the first ball he faced and scrambled the only run he scored from it, only to be caught behind two balls later.

Did a bit better in the afternoon game, the whole team did. You picked the wrong one to watch.

I was looking to see how Meschede was doing, surprised he hasn't been involved in the first couple of 20/20 games.

Absolutely none of my business but how come you don't watch the first team's 20/20 games?

One of the people I watched the game with rang me the following day to say Glamorgan had won the second game - he said that the difference was that they had got Wheater out pretty cheaply in the second game, whereas he had smashed a very quick eighty odd (including four sixes in consecutive balls from Lawlor) first time around.

Can't say how true it is, but the gossip about Meschede at St. Fagans was that he had a falling out with Robert Croft.

Can't afford to go to first team 20/20 matches, but I'd probably go to Championship matches before them if I had the money.

Somebody mentioned last week about the engineered finish that Sussex and Worcester came up with which virtually stopped us from being promoted.I can remember that but how long ago was it?

I mentioned it - it was seven years ago.

Looks like Croft and Meschede made up just in time.

A great win today, 395 runs in 37.2 overs inside 24 hours for Glamorgan this weekend (with a 200 mile drive thrown in too). I'm aware there's a fair bit of negativity around the club at the minute and I'm sure there'll be some setbacks in the 20/20 too but credit where it's due, plenty of spirit from the players in the past week. I agree with Pearcey about the atmosphere last night, poor weather and not a big crowd but there was a very warm reaction to the positive cricket being played. Shame the rain came but hopefully this weekend's performances will encourage a couple of decent attendances next weekend.
