GLAMMY

[Taffy Blue in Berkshire]

Re: GLAMMY

That was frankly a pitiful batting performance and made Glammy look very amateur. Was going to go to the Oval in June but based on that won't bother. Could be a 10 wicket defeat coming tonight.

Re: GLAMMY

When you consider that our new spinner went all around the park (albeit on a small ground), tharpt looked like one of the weakest teams Glamorous have put out in T20 in recent years - especially when you consider Van Der Gugten didn’t play. I think some realism is needed when it comes to a competition we’ve been poor in lately. A plus point has been seven wickets for Douthwaite in two games, he’s looking a much improved one day bowler and McIlroy is shaping up pretty well also.

Re: GLAMMY

Poor result, although I don't think we were a million miles off performance wise. Byrom and Carlson were looking so good, but seemed to feel a level of pressure that shouldn't of been there. Both got out playing pretty desperate shots after being bogged down for a couple of overs. Bit we were actually in a decent position so not sure why they panicked.

Can't really blame Cooke and Ingram for the way they got out. Both shots looked like 6 off the bat, just slightly mistimed.

Would like to see Douthwaite higher up the order. He'll fail more often than not, but at least give him the opportunity to go big. He's probably our biggest hitter so may aswell give him a chance.

Agree with Bob that it's a pretty thin squad. Although if Nesers replacement had been a batsman, or spinning all-rounder that would have made it look a lot stronger.

Think we've got a chance. But it's going to need Carlson to keep his form up and for Sam Northeast start scoring runs.

Re: GLAMMY

Ingram andCooke whacking Middlesex all over the place- 191-3 with two overs left.

211-3 with an over left - Ingram 91, Cooke 88 on a small ground.

Cooke reaches his hundred off 38 balls!

Re: GLAMMY

More than 100 runs came in the last 5 overs - incredible striking of the ball , in particular by Cooke

Re: GLAMMY

I don’t think 238 is going to enough

Doesn’t look like it, it’s a tiny ground. Didn’t see the start of Glamorgan’s innings but they obviously got off to way too slow a start!

Oh glammy glammy

Re: GLAMMY

Middlesex need forty three off the last over.

A win by twenty nine runs.

[Don Corleone]

Re: GLAMMY

Great win, once they took the first 2 wickets there was only one winner, didn’t panic at 140 odd for no wicket either

Yeah, my bottle had gone after ten overs of the Middlesex innings.

What were the answers to that quiz you did Eric?

Re: GLAMMY

I first saw Chris Cooke play for Glammy in a T20 game at The Gardens on a glorious summer evening in or around 2010.It was his debut v Middlesex and he hit three successive sixes.I remember thinking blimey this guy can play. He had been terrific for us since and today was just phenomenal. Well deserved
