204/8. Patel doing well. We could do with another hour of him hitting out

Re: GLAMMY

Another frustrating innings, everytime it's looked like getting close to parity we've lost another wicket. Ajaz hitting out is giving us some respectability, just a shame someone couldn't have stuck around for a bit.

Yep just when we were clawing our way back into the game a wicket has fallen

Re: GLAMMY

Good bowling with the pitch doing a bit and some rash batting. This is a good bowling attack.

They must know how to get the best out of the slope too I suppose.

Yep. The batting was a bit reckless though. Some poor dismissals.
Unless we pick up at least two more wickets today the game will be beyond us

Can't believe what I'm seeing here.

Re: GLAMMY

132/4 at stumps so advantage Middlesex. We need early wickets tomorrow morning

Re: GLAMMY

Definitely a good toss to have won, evidenced by how damp the washing was this morning after leaving it up last night! To be fair, a very good seam attack helps too. Think only two of the dismissals before we got to the tail end were batter’s choices (Gill and Cooke?). Still, a disappointing start to the day.

If only we could’ve held on till lunch with only a couple down as the afternoon session was glorious weather wise and we fared much better with the bat afterwards. Fairplay, we started pulling it back as the evening wore on and Harris probably had his best spell since returning. Nice to see Hogan get a wicket in the flesh for maybe the last time unless I can get down to Hove at the end of the month.

Not a shabby day out for a Monday. Plenty of action, salt beef sandwich from Panzer’s with a glass of wine for lunch, few beers afterwards, and very pleasant weather for the time of year. On it’s day, the championship can be a great day out fairplay.

Lords is a hell of a place to watch the game. Fantastic stadium.

It is and I would definitely recommend it for anyone that hasn’t been. Although, since living in London for a while now and having been to a lot of different formats for domestic and international at both, the Oval has it beat hands down for me in a straight shoot out.

Re: GLAMMY

Found a cracking lunch option just down the road from lords yesterday with my dad called crockers folly. Beautiful old pub which has been turned into a Lebanese restaurant. Food was great and makes a nice change from a pub meal.

Also take beer into the ground, we didnt this time and £6 a pint for carlsberg or hobgoblin just feels wrong.

There was also some cricket on but less said about that the better. Great crowd, not sure if there were a lot of glammy or if Middlesex fans are just generally fair and respectful but Patel's innings certainly got a reaction where we were sitting.

Get stoneman early and we are back in, would like to see timm give a go from the nursery end where I think all but 3 of the wickets have fallen.

That's expensive. Went to a Middlesex T20 last year and had my cheapest pint in London for a long time. Was about 9.50 for a pint and a half with £2 deposit for the reusable cups. They give a very Generous own alcohol allowance if I remember rightly. Jealous as feck of you all living the high life at lords this week. Not been so tempted to throw a sickie in a long time. Hope you have a great couple of days cricket and a glamorgan win to top it off !!

Re: GLAMMY

Bit off topic, but as there seem to be a few London based cricket fans. Has anyone been to one of the sixes bars yet? Absolutely fantastic to be fair, great bars with loads of sport on the TV.

The nets are unbelievable, better than any bowling machines I've faced and with the bowler running in on screen aswell. Well worth a go.
