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.

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.
Was there on Sunday, an enjoyable test match and a much improved performance. Still don't think this side will be ever be consistent and produce like that time and time again. Going to Old Trafford on Saturday, weather looks absolutely grim.
Surrey/Glammy on Friday should be good, although we've now lost Sanga for a month, but even with KP's injured we've still looked pretty good.
I suspect he's learnt his lesson and won't play until he's properly fit; to be honest I was absolutely livid that he was pulling that stuff off during the Middlesex game. I will forever appreciate him but we've got some good young talent that could get blooded through the T20, Ollie Pope is a fine example of one.
What's the pitch like at the Oval right now? It's usually a 200+ T20 wicket but I watched Surrey earlier on in the competition and the Champions Trophy obviously had an effect with the pitch looking slow and difficult to score on. Soon find out the answer to that question anyway I guess.
Rudolph just gone for 4 off 9, hard to criticise him in this year's T20 to be fair but his, start slow and anchor the innings approach only really works when he scores 25+
Obviously very premature this and not wishing to jinx us in any way, but I was just having a look at our remaining T20 fixtures and noticed that T20 finals day this year is on September 2nd, the same day that Wales play Austria. Still, a long way to go before we can even start thinking about that especially with some tough fixtures left.

Glammy bowling first. Expected rain could either make for good bowling conditions in the 2nd innings or reduced over D/L for us
Gloucester 132-6 with 2 overs left Hogan just took 3 wickets in an over
Gloucester 150-9 off the 20
Hogan 5-17
Hogan's definitely done his bit. 6 wickets within the space of his last 12 balls.
