Re: GLAMMY

....let's be honest..we're about 13th in an 18 team league..they can split the league and call it 2 leagues..but it's not really.

We are the worst county in T20 this season. That’s for sure. The Championship has been better but our current form in that is very poor too. We keep being told how promising our youngsters are but none of them are succeeding. The only one who was doing well was Tom Cullen and he was dropped

Re: GLAMMY

woeful again and apart from lloyd, salter and de lange the rest were dreadful

Roman Walker bowled 3 really good overs and 1 slightly wayward one.

Don't think that is fair at all. Douthwaite has been plucked out of university cricket and is averaging 25 with the bat and 35 with the ball and Selman is averaging nearly 40. Carlson is clearly promising despite not coming on recently and Walker showed up well last night.

After a dreadful summer last season Selman has improved. He’s hardly prolific but is doing ok. Walker did well last night but that’s pretty flimsy evidence to suggest he has a career ahead of him in county cricket. Douthwaite has done ok. Carlson has barely played.
My remark was primarily focused on our Welsh youngsters. Which ones have made a breakthrough?

Re: GLAMMY

Into the final three games of the season with promotion to the first division of the County Championship at stake for Glamorgan. They've put Worcester in and they're 57-1.

West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite has joined for the final games to replace Shaun Marsh, but won't be able to do any bowling because, like Billy Root, he's been reported for a dodgy action!

Glamorgan won their second County Championship fifty years ago and there's a great little video about in on this link including a reverse sweep played about twenty years before it started to become a recognised part of the game and Majid Khan taking a catch as wicket keeper.

"Sorry for shouting"

I was at Taunton in 97 which was special but the finishes to the two games featured 3 from home were extraordinary and indeed reminiscent of both the WC final and the Aussie 3rd test this year for excitement.

Reading the report one can see just why Glamorgan fans get paranoid when it comes to England selection (not that many in recent times would have been affected!).
What they did to Alan Jones was just spiteful.

Enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

We had a family holiday in Ireland that year and almost missed the train to Fishguard for the ferry because we had to watch the of the Middlesex match. I only got to read about the finish to the Essex game in the papers over in Ireland and we were still there when the title was won - that holiday also caused me to miss two out of a total of three City home matches over something like a twelve year period!

Fantastic, desperately trying to spot myself in the crowd on the pitch at the end. Thanks so much for posting this. 👍👍👍

Worcs 165-7.

Re: GLAMMY

I didn’t know much about the 1969 Championship winning season so that was a good read. I remember 1997 very well. Maynard led from the front against Somerset who were smashed.
Shameful that Don Shepherd and Alan Jones were ignored by the England selectors

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan 44-2 in reply to Worcester's 205 at the close - a pretty even first day.

There was a few of us from Lady Mary who would have pissed ‘Mitcher of the Year’ leading up to the school summer holidays that 1969 season. We certainly seen more of Sophia Gardens than our classrooms.

All out for 193 - no batting bonus points then!
