Marnus heading back to Australia today. Looks like we've still got Neser for at least a few more weeks.

Re: GLAMMY

I went for the first innings yesterday before strolling down to the CCS.

Very low crowd, more like the numbers that turn up for a 4 day game.

Glamorgan really did miss a trick by not starting at 12 or 1230. Sadly, I'm not sure they seem to care.

I thought it was odd that the start got moved back to 2.00 and not earlier but, to be fair, there seemed to be some logic behind it. During the Surrey innings there were regular reminders that the Wales game would be shown on the big screens so I assume the plan was for the cricket to finish around 16.50 then everyone would stay in the ground to watch Wales v Ukraine in the afternoon sunshine. Not the worst plan, the club could boast it had a fan zone for the football and the food and drink outlets would do a roaring trade.

Except it didn't quite turn out like that. I wonder how many ended up watching on the big screens in the pouring rain? Like you said, there weren't many people there to start with. There wasn't any feeding the snake during the Surrey innings, that's for sure, Even feeding the worm would've been a struggle. Shame really, it was turning into a decent game and everyone involved deserved better luck with the weather.

Re: GLAMMY

I thought they wanted to move it completely but the half an hour shift was all they were allowed?

Could’ve been a decent alternative if the weather played it’s part for those that didn’t have tickets for the football and had some offer for those that did have tickets for the Ukraine game.

Re: GLAMMY

Great from Lloyd. Utterly useless from Northeast (again). Hopefully Lloyd keeps going and 180/200 is on the cards

Re: GLAMMY

111/3 off 14. Really struggling after Lloyd’s great start. Surely Douthwaite and Carlson should have come in ahead of Byrom.

Re: GLAMMY

128/4 with 4.1 overs left. We will post a competitive total but we should have been looking at 200 after such a great start.

Re: GLAMMY

We are making a mess of this. Poor from Carlson

Re: GLAMMY

Apart from Lloyd that was piss poor

Re: GLAMMY

There's not a huge amount of power in that batting lineup. Good players, but not many 6 hitters. So surely when we lose our first wicket after 10 overs, it has to be douthwaite coming out. We had a chance to get him in and give him a licence. Just seems to be no real intent from management. They're obviously happy with these northeast innings aswell

Re: GLAMMY

Ball attracted to the fielders like a magnet. Great start, awful second half. Don’t think rain will save us tonight.

Re: GLAMMY

Hopefully the bowlers will pull off a result for us.

Re: GLAMMY

Why are Glamorgan using a wicket which was very slow originally for a third consecutive game? There were two nicks which didn’t carry to the wicketkeeper in the first few overs and it got more and more slow and low as the ball softened. I’d be quite confident that we could win this with Neser playing, not too sure we can do without him - raining now which favours Gloucestershire.
