GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

To be honest, although I was supporting the side with Welsh in their name, I identified most with the Glamorgan player on the field. Wales have got a mediocre side made up of mercenaries representing them and I think they need at least one Glamorgan player in there, or someone like Welsh born Phil Salt, to give them some sort of Welsh identity.

Never realised Salt was Welsh, Glammy sign him up !

Re: GLAMMY

I thought I'd give the Hundred a look tonight. Wish I hadn't bothered!

I've said before that cricket is saturated with different forms of the game to its detriment but I'd like to know how you would go about supporting one of these teams.

I probably should be cheering for the Welsh Fire but I don't feel anything. I also don't feel like it means one iota to the players either.

If you are not cheering for a team or person in any sport, I do not see the point.
The Twenty20 form of the game I have kind of warmed to but this form, 20 balls fewer is not my idea of a night's entertainment.

By the way, what a shocking effort by the Welsh Fire 🔥

Someone said earlier that the T20 is the Hundred plus 20% VAT. Myself I'd rather have the extra and pay a bit more.

Re: GLAMMY

The branding and marketing people should have been brought in to advise on how to relaunch/rejig the t20 comp.

Unfortunately the branding and marketing people were given free reign to design the entire tournament, with seemingly no real oversight. I think the result is a bit of an abomination that antagonises a lot of existing/casual fans while failing to entice new fans any more effectively than a well advertised t20 competition can.

I can relate to Glammy and started supporting them as a junior in the 60's.

this Welsh Fire means feck all and the whole competition sucks imho!

Re: GLAMMY

They just need to scrub this abomination and concentrate on T20, keeping the traditional counties.

Re: GLAMMY

Switched off after about twenty mins, already looked over as a contest. Nice to see Hogan take a wicket at least.

Fully agree. I'm not completely opposed to new franchise comps, love the ipl and the big bash. But everything about this tournament just seems tacky and poorly thought out.

Re: GLAMMY

Well I was out earlier but when I saw the state of play and what a shambles ‘we’ were I was more than happy to stick to the athletics. There are only 8 teams, you would expect to be competitive but this is pathetic.

Re: GLAMMY

I only discovered that last night’s game was on the BBC after it had been going for about half an hour and so started watching it on Sky where, to hear Kevin Pietersen and Ravi Shastri’s commentary, you would have thought you were watching a clash of cricketing titans as opposed to a walkover where the winning side barely had to try against a team that, on the evidence they’ve offered so far, most county sides would see off pretty easily.
