Re: GLAMMY

Not sure about Carey, he's been in a few championship squads. Not sure if he's injured or not selected. Lloyd is another bowling option that just isn't being used. In his game as captain he bowled himself and bowled very well (admittedly there was lots of cloud cover). Cooke obviously just doesn't rate him

Re: GLAMMY

Poor night for us results wise. Hampshire and middlesex threw away very strong positions in the last few overs. Meaning Surrey and somerset pull away a little bit.

Must win game against Middlesex on Sunday. Lose that and we may aswell give up for the season.

Re: GLAMMY

Couldn't make it up. Nick Selman tests positive for covid. Neser and Labushagne identified as close contacts. All 3 out the squad. Neser and labushagne presumably out for another 10 days aswell. T20 season is officially over

Got to laugh or you’d cry!

Although I’ve never understood how one player tests positive (cricket, football, etc) wouldn’t mean the entire team, squad, staff, etc wouldn’t be considered contacts?

Totally agree. For me the whole team should be down as close contacts. Then put on a daily testing regime, the odds of anything sneaking through would be miniscule

Re: GLAMMY

Another dire display occurring as we speak. Sometimes they turn up and just don’t look interested from No. 1-11.

Re: GLAMMY

Diouthwaite and Weighell both scored fifties to get Glamorgan to 170 - it's a competitive score, but it's a small club ground and we were making batting look pretty easy by the end of our innings.

Re: GLAMMY

Another heavy defeat. Our T20 is done and has been very poor. Today sums up a dismal weekend for Welsh sport.

Re: GLAMMY

Can't understand why we persist with opening with spin.
It's still July and it only works later in the year when there is a bit more turn.
Another disappointing t20 season passes us by.

It’s hasn’t worked opening with spin and needs to end. I hope Ingram doesn’t return next season. He has been very poor value.

Re: GLAMMY

The club seemed a bit to keen to buy into the whole Ingram cult . He was dynamite for us for years in fairness but he doesn't seem the same player now. As an overseas player you need to be performing consistently , he just hasn't done for that for the last 2 years. We are now in a position where we are essentially carrying the position that should be performing best for us.

Not sure if its age catching up or lack of cricket that's done for him. He hasn't got as many t20 gigs as he expected and he seems to be a bit scratchy and looking for form as a result. There have been openings over the last 2/3 years where he could have swallowed his pride a bit maybe, and come to play a block of 4 days for us. I've got a feeling that extra game time would have helped him stay in better nick. It's sad to see someone who was a real star for us become a bit of a liability.

Hopefully he'll explode now, win us 4 out of the next 5 games. Get Glamorgan into 4th place , and make us look daft for doubting him!

The writing was in the wall pre covid in 2019 when Ingram only managed an average of 26 with a top score of 50. He had plenty of failures that season too.

Very true, that Is a fair old drop compared to his peak. Mind you, with the starts selman, Lloyd and marnus have been giving us this year. If Ingram had managed to mirror that form this year, 26 at a strike rate of 145 would have been more than enough to add to the team. Does also make me wonder if it may slightly affect our ability to retain Neser in future. I think he's a cracking player and would love to see him and Marnus stay for years. Must rile a player up though, when you know what you can add to a side and you're being benched for someone that's not performing

I can only speak as a Surrey member, but opening with spin over the last year or so has become the fashionable thing to do; we typically open with Jacks at one end, you lot and Prem, Essex had Nijar open with it last week, Leach opened up Wednesday for Somerset.

And most of all, I don't think much of it is very good, you go through the stats of delivery taking wickets in the Blast by spinners and it's mostly absolute filth. Take Chris Green as an example, he's clearly got a way, but its an incredibly negative way of doing it...
