Re: GLAMMY

Ladies Wimbledon Final apart, not a great day for sports watching really today, so I'll spend some of it watching Glamorgan's latest four day match against Middlesex who are batting after winning the toss - Middlesex 20-0 and Glamorgan set for a long day in the field if earlier matches at the ground are anything to go by;-

Re: GLAMMY

Maybe I was wrong about a long day in the field? Middlesex 35-2 with a couple of wickets for Carey.

No you were right, the lower order doing some damage for Middlesex. Best we can hope for is another draw already then!

Re: GLAMMY

Really good performance so far today. Seem to have really lacked intensity yesterday, but nice to see a good partnership and the fight back in the team today. Long way to go and we're still in trouble, but a big partnership from Cooke and Lloyd would be a huge help

This has been the first four day game all season where we've played at something like 2018's miserable standards and, although our record in the 50 over competition wasn't great, we were competitive in that tournament throughout. We've generally had Middlesex's measure in the one day stuff in recent years, but play them in the four day stuff and they always dominate us. None of us would have been expecting a promotion challenge which is going to go into the last month of the campaign back in April, so I'm not going to get too critical about what is happening in our latest match.

Re: GLAMMY

It probably won’t make a difference to the end result but yet again Middlesex’s last pair have put on a huge score - another 80 runs. Only 550 runs or so to win then 😄

Talk about bubble bursting. After being unbeaten to this point we have been trounced. But like you i am not going to be negative but write this one off as the bad game and cross fingers. The 2 late flourishes in both Middlesex innings for wickets 7-10 are killers. Got to stop that next game.

Re: GLAMMY

Thought we'd turned the corner with our bowlers learning how to kill off the tail in quick time but then again, I'm not going to be too critical..... etc

Re: GLAMMY

Some entertaining hitting by the tail today, but it's our first Championship defeat of the season - next up leaders Lancashire at Colwyn Bay in mid August.

I hope I am not being too much of a defeatist, but we have a tough final run in with 4 games left.
It would not surprise me if we ended up 4th
