Re: GLAMMY

Another win for Sussex , don’t think Glammy are going to make it especially as Sussex play Middlesex and Glammy play Surrey

Re: GLAMMY

Salter is a joke, Lloyd useless and we looked like p1ssed pub side batting

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

Re: GLAMMY

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.

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.

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.

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 know. Maynard hasn’t improved things. The club have to bring in a couple of seasoned professionals next season

Re: GLAMMY

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.

Re: GLAMMY

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!

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.

Re: GLAMMY

The expected drubbing has been confirmed. An innings and 30-odd run defeat on our own patch.
Embarrassing!
