Salter is a joke, Lloyd useless and we looked like p1ssed pub side batting
How long will they keep playing Salter ffsOriginally Posted by Taffy Blue in Berkshire
Forgot they were on the box (thank feck!) and just checked the score.
Wowzer!
We have been nothing better than a "minor counties" side for a few years.
If there was relegation from division 2 we wouldn't be playing first class cricket anyway
Last 4 wickets in 4 balls (5 in 11). Hatrick for the last 3.
As collapses go that's right up there.
surrounded by happy sussex fans, thankfully had a few beers, glam needs an exocet and croft should feck off
Well beaten sadly.
Like Sunday , let opposition get far too many runs in last 6 or 7 overs with Wagg on Sunday and Hogan tonight getting walloped then an embarrassing almighty collapse today after looking good for 5 overs
Okay, Sussex are, rightly. reckoned to have a very strong bowling attack, but Glamorgan's last three totals against them have been 85, 88 and 88 over a three week period. In limited overs cricket, Ingram can at times hide the inherent batting weakness we have in all forms of the game, but our lack of capable specialist batsmen means that we are a side crammed with bits and pieces cricketers in T20 cricket - it says so much that the teenager Carlson is probably our second most reliable batsman in this form of the game.
Another win for Sussex , don’t think Glammy are going to make it especially as Sussex play Middlesex and Glammy play Surrey
We should be called GLUMMY

79-7, 62 runs away from making Durham bat again. As I said before, Glamorgan should partially refund those who bought memberships to watch Championship cricket because they have performed to nowhere near the level you should expect from professional sportsmen. People bought memberships in good faith expecting the team they support to give of their best every day of the season - Glamorgan's performances since their win at Gloucestershire in their first match have been feeble and slipshod, they're conning people who paid good money to watch them play.
Aneurin Donald has signed for Hampshire.

No one comes out of this well, but the way Glamorgan have treated Donald over the last year makes you think they wanted him to leave - the plan is to develop young players and yet here we are with the youngster who, arguably, has the most potential out of any of them unable to get into a four day team for which 200 is a big score.
Donald has had so many chances and failed time after time. His batting average in all forms of the game is embarrassing. I’m surprised the club offered him a new contract and even more surprised Hants want to take him on.
Yes he has talent but doesn’t have the temperament to knuckle down and build an innings.
This is no loss.
As for this latest debacle this has to change. Too many youngsters are being played and left to sink or swim. They are sinking. It’s not going to help their development if they are constantly losing.
It’s a shambles. Morris and Croft need to be a damn sight more honest about it because this has been a hopeless season.
I did say that no one comes out of this well, Donald has not made the best use of his talent in the last two seasons and his figures in all forms of the game are poor - although I would excuse him that to some degree in 20/20, and to a lesser degree, in 50 over cricket, because he goes in to bat in a way which will tend to see him dismissed early quite often. However, in a team which is giving youth a chance in the four day game,
I find it incredible that someone with, by far, the best record and reputation in junior cricket at the club cannot get a place in a side where none of the top six (nearly all youngsters) are scoring runs on anything like a consistent basis.
I was just speaking to a mate who is fairly well in with some influential people at Glamorgan and said to him that I felt there were more than cricketing reasons why Donald was not being selected, his response was "you may well be right".
I'd like to see Graham Wagg brought into the side to bat at something like number five while being told that he would be considered primarily as a batsman until the end of the season. Something needs to be done, because if we don't win a game before the end of the season we are going to finish bottom of the Championship - nobody at the club seems to be too bothered about that, but I hate the thought of it.
Can it get any worse. Bombed out in 50 over cup, 6th of 6 teams who turned up for t20 and a total embarrassment in CC. And now our most promising young batter on his bike. There's clearly something very wrong and something has to change. Sort it out hugh Morris!
I was hoping Maynards arrival might be the catalyst for change but sadly this has not happened.
I really don't know what is going on down there but in any other business, the top's strategy would be seriously called into question.
Agree with your other point regarding fan reimbursement by the way.
I know. Maynard hasn’t improved things. The club have to bring in a couple of seasoned professionals next season
Donald’s batting average in the Championship is 11. In the RL it’s 19. In T20 it’s 16. Most of our specialist bowlers have better averages than this. He is frankly lucky anyone still wants him.
Glumorgan need to kick this myth into touch of having a home bred team. Right now if you’re Welsh and have a kitbag you’re in the team. Well it ain’t working and is a total embarassment. I was listening to the commentary today and the Beeb were really upset Donald is off. Frankly he’s failed like others to deliver and good riddance based on his objective performance this season. Desperate times and like we need a striker or two they need some batters. An innings defeat coming tomorrow and Hugh Morris needs to do something drastic or move aside. Nice ground, shame about the team!
Croft & Morris out

So it seems we are broke. I don’t understand how that drives a strategy of recruiting young Welsh players. I would prefer to be recruiting from the best talent available within our budget rather than limiting it to the relatively small pool of players who are both young and Welsh. Where is the evidence that such a strategy will work, it looks more like a fantasy dreamed up to cover the club’s shortcomings with the Welsh flag. I’m sure there are many like me who would love to get along to Sofia Gardens and watch competitive cricket of a decent standard, regrettably there seems little prospect of that.
I am going to be controversial here and suggest that the best thing Glamorgan can do is drop out of the county championship and compete ( key word there) in the minor counties. They should also go back to the days of playing the majority of games as St Helens and use the other out grounds more often. The Sophia Gardens experiment has not worked and the club is on its arse.
Winning games, development of both young players and the game in general must be the priority. Glamorgan are not fulfilling any of those and are not showing any sign of doing so any time soon.
They simply have to re engage with the public and I see the best way of doing that is moving away from professional game, in the short term at least, and rebuilding the club as a organisation that serves its supporters and not the aims of the ECB.
Yes, I accept that most would be horrified at my suggestion and the issues surrounding the loans on the ground rebuild are complex but can anyone truly see an end to the woes under the current system?
And if anyone accuses me of being anti Glammy the above can also be directed at Durham as well.
