Re: GLAMMY

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.

He's 'got in' so to speak in most of his innings,but then got out. Nice to see him get a bigger score even if it was at Boycott/Tavare pace.

Re: GLAMMY

402-5. A very good day. Great decision to put us in!

Re: GLAMMY

Finished 408-6, Root let a straight ball go and was plumb LBW. Watched a few hours today, doesn’t look a bad pitch, but Derbyshire bowled poorly on it.

Re: GLAMMY

Have Glamorgan played a match yet this season that both teams have been trying to win from start to finish?

Re: GLAMMY

Don't know about anyone else but I love the quirks that cricket scoreboards can often produce.
Today I'm drawn to the Warwickshire Middlesex game. Warwickshire were bowled out for just 60 in their 1st innings, then bowled Middlesex out for 199. I think 22 wkts fell on the first day yesterday. 3 of Warwickshires bowlers each had figures of 3-49, whilst the other bowler used got 1-49. I'm a bit disappointed though that 2 bowlers bowled 13 overs and the other 2 bowled 12 and 14.

Three bowlers each taking 3-49 in an innings must be a record surely, but I pity the poor sod who decides to try and confirm it

I see two Surrey batsmen were out for 99 in their innings against Somerset, I would have thought there would be records kept on how often that happened.

Meanwhile Derbyshire plodded their way to 95-0 off forty overs against Glamorgan’s toothless attack in reply to our 521-8 declared before the rain came to put everyone out of their misery for the day.

All 10 batsmen in that Surrey innings were out Caught. Another quirk.

Re: GLAMMY

A batting collapse by Derbyshire as Glamorgan enforce the follow on - just as in the first innings, Derbyshire have made a good start though and I think it’s going to be hard for us to force the win that we really need.

Re: GLAMMY

Unbeaten in the Championship this season. Good that they have been competitive in the last year or two after some dismal years in the 4 day game.

I just looked and it's a lot worse than when you posted

I guess the only comfort is that there is not enough time left to lose it.

Worcestershire will fancy getting their fourth win of the season tomorrow if it stays dry at Cheltenham. I can remember Ingram and Cooke batting through a full day a few years back, but I can’t recall Glamorgan ever going wicketless in a day before. We’ve lost Hogan and Neser’s only going to play about forty per cent of our games. Meanwhile, the player presumably brought in to replace Hogan has barely played. We do have a fine bowler in Van Der Gugten, but he’s been bowled into the ground and it’s showing now, while Swepson has been unlucky to have conditions not suited to his type of bowling - currently our bowling attack is very weak.

Despite this, we are still in with a chance of getting second, but we really need to get the overseas signing we, presumably, will be making for our last three matches right and with two of them at home, we will need result pitches, not the usual Cardiff track which becomes flatter as the game goes on.
