They’re not going to make this easy are they!

I was wrong, they did, great win with some decent contributions from a number of players

Re: GLAMMY

Fantastic win

Re: GLAMMY

That’s got to be Glamorgan’s best four day win in a long time - a comfortable victory against everyone’s tip for the title.

The Notts commentator sounded like a decent bloke over the past four days, but I am so glad we won after his slightly arrogant words in this season preview piece.

Re: GLAMMY

Second century of the season for Bracey of Gloucestershire and Haines of Sussex is 203 not out, a couple of possible England players doing well there.

There’s a possibility of a remarkable achievement at Canterbury where Kent opener Ben Compton (Dennis Compton’s grand son), having carried his bat in the first innings is still in second time around with seven wickets down - I’m sure an opener has batted right through both innings some time before in cricket, but, having been a fan of the game since the mid sixties, I’m not sure it’s happened in the domestic game in all of that time.

Didn't Alec Stewart carry his bat twice in a Test in the Windies a while back?

Re: GLAMMY

A very comfortable win. Excellent stuff with plenty of strong contributions throughout the team.

No. It had only been done twice in the history of the game. The first time was in 1875 and the South African player Jimmy Cook, who played for SomerSet in the eighties, did it as well.

It’s not going to happen today, Compton was the last man out in Kent’s second innings.

Very Half a Beeish, great stats

Only cos I heard it on the radio - think Cook equalled the record on 31 June.

And there’s me thinking that you’re CCMB’s equivalent of the Bearded Wonder. So let down

Not only a win, Bob, but a cruise! We had the best of every day. I can't recall us chasing a total like that in a 4th innings with such ease.

England will be looking at Carlson soon. But then they will be looking at everyone who has scored a run!

Re: GLAMMY

I read that it's the first County Championship win there in almost 25 years. Bizarre that a few hundred yards across the road we have won ten times in that period.

I was lucky enough to be at the 50 over final. Perhaps Trent Bridge will match the City Ground in the future!

In fairness I don’t think they’d played there for 15 of those.

Re: GLAMMY

Well, in the end that was… easy…?!

Fantastic effort and a thoroughly satisfying win. I don’t think you could say Notts played very poorly either and looking back the difference was perhaps a tale of two tails in the first innings.

Wonderful to spend a day in the park in the sun with the radio on to listen to it all.

In fairness I don’t think they’d played there for 15 of those.

I don’t think we’ve played them very often at all in the championship since the split in divisions. I can remember Ingram saving a game from what looked like certain defeat a few years ago but that was in Sophia Gardens and don’t think there was a corresponding fixture up there.
