More than that, since last season the visiting captain has the option of bowling first. We would have declined that option then the toss would have taken place as it normally does. Bizarre.

Yep truly staggering.Originally Posted by Geraint!
Glamorgan did well to take the last four Northants wickets quite quickly and I see Jacques Rudolph was saying it was the type of wicket that someone could get a double hundred on if they could get in. Well, it won't be him, Selman or Lloyd because they're all out as Glamorgan lunched at 32-3, still 177 runs behind - Lloyd, who based on the little I've seen of him, looks completely unsuited to bat at three in the four day game, was out for his second duck of the game.
Lloyd made a bright start to last season and then endured a miserable time constantly losing his wicket for next to nothing.Until we get decent openers he will be exposed to the new ball almost immediately. We could losethis by an innings.
It's not looking great.
Every year I have hope. Problem is this year it lasted one innings.
Sure was - couldn't even take the game into a third day. With Will Bragg out injured, the batting was not at full strength, but Ingram and Cooke were both back, we had a batsman at number seven and yet no one got a fifty in the game - we may have been able to bowl Northants out for a bit less with Hogan, Wagg etc. available, but when you can't score 300 in your two innings combined, you're going to lose about ninety five per cent of your four day games.
Pathetic batting performance.The top three in the batting order are not good enough.
I've said it before, the modern day cricketer doesn't know how to defend his wicket and ours seem to be the worst of the lot.
I hope HM has given 'em a good talking to and had them in the nets all day and tomorrow.
Sadly I don't think he has a good talking to in him.
Nope I don't think he has. He should have gotten rid of Rudolph in the winter. Surely if Rudolph continues to fail he has to be dropped.
He's failing as a batsman and captain his decision making is crap
Yep.
Talking of cricket scores....
Oi get off this thread Mr DJ.
I'm allowed. I work at the SWALEC Stadium.
Could be worse gents, could be Glos fans getting pasted by a 40 year old Darren Stevens...
We (Surrey) did alright. Trott's innings for Warwickshire was good to watch, though.
If you can bear it, there's a video link to Glamorgan's game with Worcester today - they lost their second wicket to the first ball I watched!

Edit, make that wickets to the first two balls I watched, Ingram out first ball - 28-3.
33-4
It's looking like its going to be another defeat within 2 days
Bloody hell. What on Earth is wrong with your lot?
The only plus point is that Glamorgan ensure that the City are not the most dysfunctional sporting team in the CF post code.
This is getting to be embarrassing even by their standards though.
105/8 at lunch. Yes this is embarrassing even by the low standards we expect from the club. Our star overseas captain out for two. There has to come a time when every player justifies their position in the team. Morris should have cut his losses with Rudolph in the winter and paid him off.Instead we are stuck with his continual failings.
At some stage Rudolph has to be dropped
Starting to get excited as we approach our first batting point of the season.
182-9
I've seen four balls from this game and there's been two wickets and a six! Carey has just hit the first six of his career to take the score to 143-8. Fair play to David Lloyd, he's followed up his pair against Northants with Glamorgan's first Championship fifty of the season - can't help thinking that the conditions are easing though as we see a bit more of the sun.
We got a batting point
205-9
Hoorah. A first batting point. In fairness Lloyd and Carey did wel! but all out in less than 41 overs in a four day game is woeful albeit with a fast scoring rate
