Re: GLAMMY

I felt for the players this afternoon as they would have known promotion was gone. A demoralising final session today and tomorrow will be painful. Michael Hogan deserves so much better than that in his final game. He is going to be hugely missed.

No promotion or relegation..no point at all.

Four wickets for Glamorgan so far this morning - Sussex 99 in front.

It doesn’t count for anything now, but it would be nice to end with a win. Trouble is, wickets fell quite quickly in the first session yesterday and then they got harder and harder to come by.

Last year’s champions Warwickshire scrapping for survival at Edgbaston, need three wickets to stay in division one (at the expense of Yorkshire) whilst Hampshire need 41 runs to win.

I’m watching this game - down to 31 now. Think Hampshire are going to do it unfortunately.

Would have to agree with you, stepped on it since the last wicket. Surprised it had been taken this deep considering.

Fifteen needed with two wickets left.

Yorkshire relegated, what a shame.

Re: GLAMMY

I read today that Michael Hogan holds a batting world record.
380 games in his 14 year career and he was never out LBW.

There was a Tweet last week of an advert for a pair of never been used Michael Hogan’s pads for sale.

Hassan Azad and Harry Podmore likely incomers as well by all accounts - two good additions.

Given that Yorkshire will probably have a points deduction next season, Glamorgan could be favourites to win Div2 (subject to there being a Div2, and it may not get them promoted anyway!).

I'd been told by someone else that Podmore was a possibility - just looked him up on Wikipedia and he averages 18 with the bat (so, certainly not a mug) and an impressive under 27 with the ball. Don't think he's played a great deal for Kent in the last two seasons though which suggests he may have been struggling with injuries.

Azad is news to me though - he was Leicestershire's best batsman for a couple of seasons, but didn't have a great season in 2022 (or at least, he was not playing for Leicester towards the end of their four day programme. However, I'd say, based on his overall record, he'd be a good signing for us, although does it mean an end to the Lloyd opening experiment, just as he had managed a triple hundred in the role?
