i wonder what the crowd is/was? there’s more to this than meets the eye, nobody can be this bad without trying to be.
a very great shame and heads should roll from the top.
classic incompetence!
Hard to believe Glamorgan beat Gloucestershire in the first game of the season isn't it. Even more incredibly, they scored 526-9 in their first innings in that match - has a side ever scored more than half of their runs for a season in one innings before?
Still over 200 behind Glos first innings too!
The link to the piece on the delusional Croft is as embarrassing as the score.
I love the spin (no pun intended) he puts on in his rationale for our plight, the mention of us being 7th best in the last 12 years, implying that we are not the worst
Just checked and 118 for 7 now, still 99 behind.
There is definitely more to it than Croft is letting on.

isn’t Croft a JB? Could explain a lot...........
In this season's terms and with this batting side, making Gloucester bat again and taking the game into a fourth day has to be seen as almost a triumph.
Only lost by 9 wickets!
Seeing as the last loss was by an innings, expect the hierarchy to make a statement of making progress
They've got to be ruining the confidence of these young players. Carlson who was in fine form in the T20 got a pair in this game. The bizarre signing of Cook for the last few games hasn't worked out very well either!Seeing as the last loss was by an innings, expect the hierarchy to make a statement of making progress
Apologies to continually repeat myself but the honorable thing to do would be to appeal the ECB for relegation to the minot counties league on the basis that we are completely out of our depth and have zero ambition.
Allow a minor counties team to try their luck.
Without doubt, they could not be worse
New faces needed says Croft starting with one the replace his mug

Finally an admission of failure. Alongside Shaun Marsh we need three new specialist batsmen next season. We need two new openers for starters. Then maybe we can bring in someone like Carlson lower down the order to take the pressure off.
Another absolutely pathetic performance by Glamorgan against Kent - 250 behind on first innings, they're 33-4 and, weather permitting, will almost certainly lose before lunch tomorrow.
I read somewhere that Hugh Morris and Robert Croft have a meeting with members on the 24th - I hope someone asks Croft to name one young player who he honestly believes his coaching has improved this season.
This has been easily the worst season I can remember for Glamorgan. On all fronts we have been pathetic.
Usually there is something to cling to - but not this season.
I think I've found a bright side.
Durham were bowled out for their lowest ever scored 61 in their first innings today.
They improved in their second innings and we're all out for 66!
Now that is shocking. I can see Croft using this as a smoke screen.
Glamorgan were beaten by an innings by Durham last month - if they had to bat at Leicester in yesterday's conditions, I wouldn't have bet on them getting a hundred in the game, let alone in an innings.
42-6 this morning. I bet they can't wait for the season ( if you can call it that to end).
45-7. I might have spoken too soon.
Refreshingly honest comments from Hogan:
"Hopefully in a few years these guys will be seasoned players, to be frank, some of them won't be, but we'll know which is which".
Honestly can't remember what Marsh even looks like. When was he last at the club?
78 all out .........https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/scorecard/ECKO43233
Croft please leave ASAP
Morris needs to go to. The club are an embarrassment. A massive overhaul is required
