Re: GLAMMY

What a frustrating day that turned out to be. The 87 runs we leaked for the last 4 wickets could be a big factor. didn't seem that way when we were 71-1 mind. Will be interested to see how the pitch behaves tomorrow

Re: GLAMMY

Why do they insist on making the pitches so low scoring in Cardiff??

You can earn more bonus points by batting yet any score over 250 seems really unlikely. Guess you get less draws when a match lasts 7 sessions though we normally turn those draws into defeats!!!

Re: GLAMMY

Was not expecting this. Hopefully we get these last 2 wickets cheaply. Glamorgan favourites again!

Once again, the large majority of the wickets taken in a game at Cardiff have been LBW or bowled and this pitch does not look as green as some have done this season. The overhead conditions are not that bad, so I’m struggling to see why the pitch has been so bowler friendly this season although the high number of LBWs might be down to the current fad of batsmen seeming to want to play a version of French cricket by standing in front of their stumps.

I thought Lancashire would put together a match winning score today, but the truth is that Glamorgan need to score more than they did in the first innings (when I thought they wasted a great chance) to win - Lancashire must still be favourites.

Re: GLAMMY

The forecast is superb for the next two days so I would have us just about favourites.

Wouldn't like to have to get too much more than 200 though.
Need lamb gone.

Re: GLAMMY

The amount of runs we are giving to the tailenders is starting to get pathetic now. Starts getting to the point where its more about character than talent. So frustrating

Re: GLAMMY

Lamb plumb in front of the wicket and not given as lbw. The umpiring has been abysmal.

Lamb gone!
Luckily the rubbish umpiring didn't cost us on this occasion!

Re: GLAMMY

188 to win - too many I reckon.

Re: GLAMMY

We should win this . I really don't think the pitch is completely responsible for the poor batting by both sides so far. Haven't seen any of today admittedly, but there were a fair few daft shots yesterday. Lloyd looked in decent nick again yesterday before leaving a straight one, and Marnus looked like he is starting to click again. I think a lot depends on those 2.

Huge innings ahead, win this and top 2 is definitely on, combined with a big haul of points to take into the top group.


Really hope it's not the silly runs at the end of both innings that end up costing us

Re: GLAMMY

I always think that regardless of what the chase is!!! Never seem to have any confidence in the batsmen until its done
