Ah, the famous six sixes by that famous Australian Gary Sobers who was playing for Notts when he did that extraordinary feat at St Helen’s

Re: GLAMMY

First time I've been down to watch Glamorgan in a few years. The first observation I have is the wicket was poor. Even in club cricket I don't think I've heard the noise of shots coming off the bottom of the bat so often. Spoilt it as a spectacle as no one managed to time the ball all day. And my only other observation having watched him play test match cricket on TV is how on earth is Dom Bess a professional cricketer? The boy isn't even a decent club player.

Re: GLAMMY

Going back to the Hundred, one player has just almost scored as many as the whole Welsh Fire team does in a typical game. Will Smede scored the competition’s first century. Glamorgan got Smeded down in Taunton a few weeks back in theT20.

Glamorgan’s one day pitches have been poor all season, but the one for the England T20 game was a perfect example of what you want for a game when the crowd come along to watch people hitting sixes - there were only two sixes hit in today’s game wasn’t there?

Re: GLAMMY

Three sixes Paul. Weighell hit a six near the end

Re: GLAMMY

Strangely enough this strip was actually the only decent batting track we've had down there all year. Unfortunately , by my reckoning this was the 3rd match on the strip so it's now as slow as the rest of them !!

Yeah, just noticed that - I’d given up on it by then.

I see that six was Weighell’s only boundary, yet he scored thirty odd and Carlson only hit two fours in his sixty four.

Re: GLAMMY

They care about it to turn up to watch it more than any Glamorgan game here ever.

I can appreciate most of the other arguments but saying nobody cares about it here when they have just broken the domestic cricket crowd record is nonsense.

Because they have a plethora of free tickets and it is cricket. People don't care about Welsh Fire. The same as they wouldn't care if they were called the Mumbai Indians Welsh Fire. Nobody has formed a deep emotional attachment to a team formed 5 minutes ago. If they gave the same marketing and funding to Glammy, you'd get the same result.

Agreed and the difference being there would be an emotional attachment to Glammy.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan 9-2 and the horribly out of form Lloyd is still in.

Make that 13-3 and Lloyd’s still in.

Lose today which is now very likely and we are pretty much out of contention. Very poor start

We can kiss this one goodbye.

Re: GLAMMY

That was dismal. Northants knocked off over 340 on this pitch a few days ago. We look miles short.
