At Amlas age and with what he has done in his career that is tremendous. To still have that desire to dig in and save a game. That was always what set him and devilliers apart from the rest of the modern batsman for me. Average wise they were as good as anyone, they can be as destructive and pleasing on the eye as anyone. They also both have an amazing capacity to dig in and switch the shots off when the game situation demands that approach, an increasingly rare ability in the modern game.

I was thinking exactly the same as you put in your first sentence. I’d say DeVilliers is the most naturally talented batsmen of the twenty first century, while I can remember seeing Amla in his first few tests and thinking he had no chance - it’s a tribute to his attitude and dedication that he became a really good test player.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan drew withSussex reaching 154-5 in typical fashion with everyone getting into double figures, but no one scored more than twenty seven - it seems that they’ve cliched a top four finish and a place in the second tier come September no matter what happens Northants next week - that has to be seen as a good effort in what looked a very tough group when the draw was made.

Amla batted all day for scoring thirty seven I think it was off about two hundred and eighty balls as Surrey finished on 122-8 off one hundred and five overs.

I dunno.What does it mean these days? Overseas players seem to only play for half a season before heading somewhere else. I would hope both Neser and Labuschagne would be our two T20 overseas players next season. We don’t need to sign anyone else.

Ingram is under contract for next season as well. Neser doesn't seem to be in Australia's plans at the moment, so could be available for almost all of next season.

Need to get van der Gugten to sign a new contract now - he's been very good this season. Fully expecting James Harris to sign for next season as well.

Sadly, because he was a fine player at his best, I think James Harris would struggle to get in our side now based on his form for us and Middlesex this season.

In his first season he became the youngest player ever to take 10 wickets or more in a county cricket match (he took 12).

He followed this up by being 13 runs away from being the youngest ever century maker in county cricket (he scored 87 not out)

I think many thought then we had a future England star in the making

Unfortunately whilst he has had a good career he never reached those heights and in fact that 87* remains his highest first class score.

As you say not sure what he brings to the party for us now though

There was a time when he was very close to a test call up, but I think it was always felt that he didn’t quite have enough pace and he wasn’t the first or last cricketer whose career suffered because he made changes to try and satisfy the England selectors. I agree with you about his batting, he’s better than his average suggests - he was so good in scoring his only century, in a televised one day match for Middlesex, that there really should have been quite a few others.

I am genuinely surprised Ingram is back again next season.

Re: GLAMMY

Is Neser playing in the Royal London Cup?

**the other bob wilson** · 10-07-21, 16:55

Re: GLAMMY

Pretty sure I read somewhere that both Australians are playing their last game of the season for us tomorrow.

**Pearcey3** · 10-07-21, 21:38

Re: GLAMMY

That’s what I’ve read. So Neser will have played something like 6 Championship games and that’s it.

Re: GLAMMY

I've got used to seeing Glamorgan wickets fall from the first ball I've watched on the stream in recent seasons, but this time it was Van Der Gugten getting one - Northants, batting on winning the toss, have made a decent start at 40-1 and Vasconcelos, who always scores runs against us, is still there.

**the other bob wilson** · 13-07-21, 12:44

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan going pretty well at 177-4 in reply to Northants' 215 at lunch, but they were 154-2 with Labuschagne and Root going great guns until Edward Bevan started talking about how much on top they were - of course, that was the signal for them both to be out within the next three balls!
