Umpires have done inspections and they are restarting at Derbyshire with Durham facing 17.1 overs.
Apart from when they play us, Durham have been pretty poor this season - I’ve not got great faith in them holding out if they’re able to play for all of those overs.

Oh ye of little faith! Durham held on without losing a wicket.

Match now drawn so it really looks like it's us or Middlesex for second place. Big game next week
Not sure what the cricket equivalent of a six pointer is, but Glamorgan have one today at Lords against Middlesex - anyone planning to watch the morning’s play should remember that County Championship games start at 10.30 in September.
Unlike at Cardiff where a village side could beat us if they called themselves Middlesex, our recent record at Lords is good, with two wins from our last three games there - it’s said visiting teams lift themselves for test matches at Lords, perhaps the same happens with domestic cricket?
Straying into miracle territory now, but notts play a Worcester team who seem to be a bit inconsistent this year. 24 points for glam combined with a crushing loss for notts could see us moving into striking distance

Forget about Notts. They are up. It’s really between us and Middlesex for the other promotion place.

Overwhelmingly likely notts will hold on, but always a chance. Especially with these September pitches and the weather. I think if we were in notts position I'd be holding off the champion celebrations til it was certain. Although that may have a lot to do with the fact that Glamorgan and Cardiff city tend to blow certainties with more regularity than most sides 🤣
I sent Michael Hogan a message on Instagram back in July congratulating him on earning a position with one of the franchises for the Hundred. I mentioned what a great player he had been for us and hoped his kids wouldn’t lose their Welsh accents. He responded by thanking me and confirmed his children had now returned to Aus and would see how that went. He added it was a shame Welsh Fire were not interested in him....which says it all really.
Anyway a top man and player for us. Let’s hope he leaves with the team winning promotion.

I reckon Notts already have enough points to have won promotion. Derbyshire in third cannot catch them and Middlesex in fourth are 50 points behind them with three to go. We are 43 points behind them. One or both of us and Middlesex will not win this week. They are already up imo with 215 points.

Agreed, I’m happy with beating them at Trent Bridge and dominating the match in Cardiff - as Matt Maynard said, we need to play better than we did against Worcestershire if we are to stand a chance of going up.

They're up for sure, but if we win 2 of 3 and they lose 2 of 2 then they may go up in 2nd place. It's about as likely as Hogan getting out lbw, but stranger things have happened.
