Re: GLAMMY

There isn't another good enough batsman in the squad to justify pushing Cooke down as low as 7. He is too good a batsman to have to feel forced to score quickly as he's batting with the lower order.

As well as Lloyd has done as opener, I think Glamorgan are two openers short of being a decent team. Lloyd batting at 7 as the fifth bowling option with Neser at 8 would represent good depth. Hopefully one of the spinners will kick on - Taylor hasn't been great, but Salter has been one of the better second eleven players this season.

Lloyd is way too good to be batting at 7

Glamorgan not doing bad at all on another rain affected day, 308-7 with fifties for Taylor and Douthwaite.

Excellent batting especially being up against almost ideal bowling conditions for Anderson.

I think I prefer this 6 team format so far every bonus point feels important though can only see this finishing as a draw with 8points riding on it and the weather very changeable

Yes, I tend to agree with you. When I first saw the group Glamorgan were in, I thought it would be embarrassing, but we’ve been competitive in every game we’ve played and if we were more used to winning, I think we could have won at least one more game. I think of Glamorgan, Leicestershire and Derbyshire as the whipping boys of the modern game, but Leicestershire have been like us this season and Derbyshire almost qualified for the Final last year.

344 all out and Lancashire are just starting their reply.

Yep all round consistently good performances so far this season. Nearly all the batsmen got going and 344 is a healthy score and guarantees the draw if there is no play tomorrow. Shame we couldn’t quite get that fourth batting point but if we bowl Lancs out inside 110 overs we will finish with a decent 14 point haul.

Re: GLAMMY

Match drawn with Lancashire declaring as soon as they reached 300 and three batting points, but not before Glamorgan had taken nine wickets to get their three bowling points - I reckon we’d have been well pleased with the prospect of getting fourteen points from this match beforehand.

Agreed

Re: GLAMMY

Another positive display, especially against a strong Lancs side.

Re: GLAMMY

Yep another very competitive performance. Nice to see Carlson, Cooke, Lloyd and Douthwaite all high up in the batting averages too.
Neser looks good and it’s only a matter of time before Labuschagne starts posting some big scores. Hogan in great form too.
Very encouraging.

Bloody rain forecast all week 😳

Re: GLAMMY

Bloody rain forecast all week ��

If anything, the forecast has got worse for the next four days, with only Friday expected to be from interruption.
Some good news though in that crowds are going to be allowed back in early June - you'll have to be a member to stand a chance of watching though.

they given up on today bloody rain

Re: GLAMMY

The second eleven’s four day game last week was abandoned without a ball being bowled and their match this week saw forty odd overs bowled on the first day and the next three were washed out.

The forecast for tomorrow isn’t too bad and given that the last game in Cardiff was over in two days, I suppose there’s still a chance of a positive result if we have a bit of luck with the weather on the weekend.
