It's cloudy but dry here at the moment
Looks like he was playing with his stump

What's the weather like in Cardiff at the moment? Looking at heading down later but won't bother if it's raining.
I'm about to leave in a few minutes from just outside of Cheltenham. The forecast appears to be cloudy but dry for Cardiff this evening so hopefully it will be alright.Originally Posted by Geraint!
Took the risk, raining - game delayed. Obviously brought the weather with me :(
GLAMMY 73-2 off 6 overs
The rain's a bastard.
We were looking decent for a win there.
Game abandoned with glammy going at 10 an over. Typically it stops raining as well
How annoying was that? I said to my lad after about 16 overs that this would be the first time we had seen Glammy score 200 in Cardiff in T20. We were nailed on for the win and that lost point could prove very costly.
Credit to Rudolph he batted superbly and sensibly tonight. Somerset were awful.
Thanks to SKY we now play tomorrow afternoon in Chelmsford having had no cricket all week
Two more things.. The club are not being fair to David Lloyd. His face was a picture of utter dejection on the big screen just after he was out. He has lost all confidence and timing.
Thought the crowd and atmosphere was really good. What a letdown with the weather. I really felt the game was abandoned far too hastily.
Somerset had lost their last nine 20/20 matches apparently - thirty points adrift of safety in the Championship as well, Maynard's time at that club could well be coming to an end,
Yes I was thinking that too. They did really well in the County Championship last season but this time around they are really struggling. Their performance last night reminded me of Glammy in T20 under Maynard. Not sure he is bothered about this form of the game.
That reverse sweep slog for six from Rudolf was something else, some of his shot placement was excellent.
He was timing the ball really well. There is no way Somerset would have chased down 200
Was their player Waller getting some stick on the boundary because he went a bit over the top with his c&b and catch I the deep?
It certainly felt that way as it stopped raining about 5 minutes after they called it though I'd imagine that both teams having games today didn't exactly help. Cheers Sky!
On the subject of today's game, Essex are 87-2 off 9.
Stunning. Massive century again from Ingram, big knock off Cooke and a six off the last ball from Meshede.
Against our bogey side too
We've beaten Sussex & Essex away with big scores. We face them both at the Swalec next weekend. Sussex Friday night & Essex Sunday afternoon.
Decent results could put us top of the table. Suddenly I'm feeling more positive.
Well I'm glad I'm not a betting man as I'd have done my stones on us losing chasing 11 per over.
Sensational stuff
What a fantastic result, didn't expect that against Essex our bogey side as previously said in the thread. Another massive contribution from Ingram and a little cameo from Lloyd of 20 that might boost his confidence a little.
Fantastic win. We were watching the score updates on my son's phone en route to a family meal. Brilliant from Ingram and Cooke did well too. Fabulous stuff from Meschede at the death. Pleased that Lloyd made a decent contribution. Will give Sussex a miss next Friday because of the hassle getting there in time but looking forward to the Essex return next Sunday.
Is there a better one day batsman playing regular county cricket than Ingram? I don't think so.
Obviously, I thought Glamorgan were on course for a defeat at the change over, but I've far more confidence in them when it comes to one day cricket than I do in the four day game and thought they were capable of chasing the score down - eighth highest t20 second innings total ever and the fifth highest successful run chase.
I hope that abandonment against Somerset (I'm sure we would have won) doesn't cost us in the end.
I know it doesn't happen often enough but I still love it when Glamorgan win a game - in any format. What a result from Essex. Up to 2nd and finding some form. What a shame about Somerset.
Interesting top four for Surrey in their 20/20 game tonight; Finch, Roy, Pietersen and Sangakkara. I reckon the four of them put together still don't make an Ingram but we'll see, we play Surrey down here on Friday week.
Glamorgan sign David Miller for the rest of the T20. He'll hit big and should be used to condition after touring with SA in the shorter stuff.
Good signing although do we really need another Souyh African?
