Feel a bit sorry for Ingram getting dropped, he's been great again this year. But a gutsy and correct decision to play swepson and Neser as the 2 overseas I think. Bowling does need more strengthening than the batting. What's the weather like in Cardiff at the moment?
Ha ha great call for getting batting bonus points after all
The game’s turned into a one innings affair battling for bonus points. Leicestershire on the way to maximum batting points - Glamorgan only have one bowling point at the moment, but they could benefit from Leicestershire playing shots to get to 450.
Elsewhere, Derbyshire are having a go at a huge target set them by Sussex, but the draw looks favourite and Worcester v Yorkshire has just ended as a draw.
I spent yesterday wondering why Glamorgan weren’t playing when sixteen of the eighteen counties were and it wasn’t until this morning that I remembered that their game against GLoucestershire at Cheltenham was starting a day later then the rest. Given that, if the forecast for Saturday proves to be correct, there’s probably not going to be any cricket played in the country, it’s probably going to be another game we won’t win.
Glamorgan have made a good start though, 100-0 at lunch with Lloyd on sixty odd. Also, anyone wanting to watch the GLoucestershire club stream should know that, for some reason, it’s running about half an hour late - they’re currently 90-0 on the stream!
While the rain pours down at the test match, there’s been a full days play in Glamorgan’s rain ruined game with GLoucestershire- with two overs left to get bonus points, the home team are 398-6, so it looks like two bowling points for Glamorgan and twelve points overall for yet another draw.
This will leave Glamorgan in fifth place with 107 points, but, that’s only six behind second placed Sussex. I had wondered about some sort of deal with GLoucestershire to make a game of it today,but we’re not going to run the risk of losing five points for the draw while it’s so tight for the second promotion place - I can see Yorkshire sneaking through to get it.
Glamorgan 107-1 at lunch after being put in to bat on a wicket which is almost as green as the grass around it, but it barely misbehaved in the half an hour or so I watched. Derbyshire are without a win this season and Glamorgan really do need to start winning games because it’s wide open for the second promotion place, but, without Neser, their bowling doesn’t look strong enough to me - the fact that their winter signing Harry Podmore has made no impact has not helped.
dont know much about ul hassan but he seems to be growing into it a bit the last few innings, hopefully goes on and gets his first 50 today
Got to 69 before he gave the bowler a return catch to end a record second wicket partnership for Glamorgan against Derbyshire, Ingram not out 114 and Glamorgan 223-2.
