Re: GLAMMY

From what I’ve seen of it, it’s really no better than the blast. Any number of counties playing each other would have been as good (or as poor) as the contest yesterday, although I appreciate that was a particularly extreme example.

The commentary around it is one of the things I dislike most about it. It’s all a little emperor’s new clothes and feels like they’re purposefully towing the ECB PR sheet. I understand you’re not going to undermine a product you’ve paid good money for but feel you should be able to comment a bit more objectively on the particular sporting merit of individual games at least.

The only thing I think they’ve gotten right (and I can see this changing should things progress) is the number of games are at a relative minimum compared to your IPLs and BBs.

Anyway, Glammy against Kent today with two sides picking up wins in their first matches.

Re: GLAMMY

It seems a hard slog supporting the Welsh Fire

No Welsh or Glamorgan players, the players we have seem disinterested, or simply not good enough, a poor spectacle all round.

I had tickets for last season, and i ended up giving them away, i have some for this but i cannot say im excited about going.

Wales does not have a strong cricket fan base, so we really needed a competitive franchise to attract fans and build, but we have ended up the whipping boys of the 100 circuit.

Watching the game last night as a Welshman i ended up hoping that Micheal Hogan did well for the opposition.

The way Michael Vaughan and Isa guha behaved as chief cheerleaders last year will live me for a long time. They both almost delighted in trying to do down 'traditional cricket ' at every opportunity. Enjoyed seeing Vaughans fall from grace last year, hopefully guha has similar coming soon !

Re: GLAMMY

Another reason to be pissed off with the Hundred - Van Der Gugten has joined Birmingham.

Kent 18-1 in the fourth over.

Re: GLAMMY

Wondered why Van der Gugten wasn’t playing today, that’s a big loss for Glammy in the Royal Cup

Ffs! Have the WF even replaced Bairstow?

Re: GLAMMY

I'm sure joey evison is following us. Playing against him again, he's on loan at Kent now. Expect him to sign for whoever we play next week

He’s signed a three year deal with Kent, so I think he’s on loan with them for the rest of the season.

We’re going to be chasing 300 plus here I reckon.

Edit, another wicket in his first over for Ingram, he has a knack of doing that.

I was starting to think he just liked playing against us !. Good wicket for us there, was starting to look like a very worrying partnership.

Re: GLAMMY

Glam right up against it now, Root just out 86 for 4 chasing 305.

Ingram needs to hold things together and hope someone can stay with him.

Kent hot favourites from here.

Re: GLAMMY

Just someone stay with Ingram ffs. Painful watching

Re: GLAMMY

Nicely poised at 171/5. Once again Tom Cullen comes into the side and doesn’t let the team down.

Re: GLAMMY

Ingram to a hundred, 196-5.

Totally agree. He's got a lot of character . If we pull this result off his innings will be very bit as important as Ingrams.
