I’d rather it be like a road to give us a chance of a draw than have to bat on something that we would be out for 90.
Who’s asking for wickets like that? All I’d like to see is a pitch that is a more even balance between bat and ball and doesn’t get harder to take wickets as the game goes on. Glamorgan may have lost more by playing on better wickets than Cardiff, but they would have won more as well and there also might have been some watchable fourth days.
Good article about someone who has been one of Glamorgan’s great figures of the last half a century. Unfortunately, the one signing we made last winter turned out to be a pretty spectacular flop in a side that needed all of the bowling resources it could get once Neser left.
Even if what he says is true, criticism from someone who has left any sporting team after never really establishing themselves in the starting line up can be dismissed as sour grapes.
That said, maybe it is time to look outside of former players with the next coaching appointment - the last two "outsider" coaches I can think of are Duncan Fletcher and Matthew Mott, so it's not as if they've made bad choices when they've looked beyond Wales.

No but then again comments like this can surely only come from someone now out of the set up. Plus as he says we have debated in this very thread why the likes of hogan, selman and David Lloyd have left the county on their own accord. Perhaps there is something in it?
Also not like he's trying to get Maynard out of a job (if he said it while Maynard was in post his motivations could be questioned more perhaps) as all the people are leaving anyway so it's a perfect opportunity to act like a professional club and not just find another ex player.
This is a great chance for a new start. We've got a more than decent batting lineup, hopefully we can get a good bowler or 2 and a decent coach and we are in a position to do really well.
I did think Cullen and Joe Cooke were a bit unlucky to be released last year
Redfern has been appointed to umpire the LV= Insurance County Championship match between Glamorgan and Derbyshire at Sophia Gardens, which begins on Tuesday 26 September.

First female umpire to stand in a men's first-class match in England and Wales in our match against Derbyshire next week https://www.ecb.co.uk/news/3693554
She’s not having much to do. Glamorgan fielding six seamers and no full time spinner, put Derbyshire in and they’re 184-1 - our season was over once we lost at Worcestershire.
This has been the dullest season I can recall. Same as usual in T20 and one day stuff and a forgettable Championship season. The club must be better at bringing young talent through.
