Re: GLAMMY

Meanwhile, T20 records smashed in Nepal, including a batsman scoring a half century after getting to the crease in the 19th over!

Re: GLAMMY

About time the Glamorgan batters kick on a bit. Let's change the habit of a season and actually attack a bit.


I find our approach this season unbelievable. Spent years making stupid declarations when a draw would have been ok. Now they've changed the points system to devalue the draw and promote the win, we decide we want to play attritional cricket. We must have the most draws of any team in the country this season.

Re: GLAMMY

Well there we go, we have a declaration. Bit daft when what we actually needed was Cooke and Douthwaite to smash it around. But at least it's some intent.

Unless it's a case that the captain's have got together and worked something out. In which case very good to see.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan’s season ends in appropriate fashion with them clinging on fora draw after scoring at less than two an over - Derbyshire must be regretting batting on so long before declaring in their second innings. Glamorgan got the lowest number of bowling points of any team in the Second Division and even when Michael Neser was here were almost incapable of taking twenty wickets in a game - dead Cardiff wickets did not help out in that regard.

To finish on a positive note, we’ll done to Kieran Carlson for passing one thousand runs in a first class season for the first time.

Re: GLAMMY

Gloucestershire are leaving their current ground and are looking for a new site outside Bristol, possibly next to the M4.
Could mean they get more international matches.

In my admittedly limited knowledge that looks like a decent appointment?

Re: GLAMMY

Don’t know anything about him, but he’s got a decent CV - does it mean an emphasis on New Zealand players from now on I wonder? I’d be happy with more Labuschagne (who I think is contracted to us for next season) and Neser.

Re: GLAMMY

Yeah, looks decent I think.
Could have some good connections for NZ and Pakistan players.

Re: GLAMMY

Michael Neser signs for Hampshire, not a shock, but the lack of new players through the winter is disappointing- I suppose they couldn’t do much until the new coach was announced.

Re: GLAMMY

Couple of signings announced today - Pakistani fast bowler Mir Hamza (for the 1st 7 county championship games) and leg spinner, and Mason Crane (season long loan).

Crane’s an interesting one, won an England cap years ago. What they could be do with is a decent Cardiff pitch to bowl on- that’d be a novelty.

Re: GLAMMY

I hope the new coach encourages playing to win rather than trying not to lose this season. The 4 day efforts were so dull last year

Alan Wilkins appointed president. Seems to have deleted his previous tweets in favour of a Welsh cricket team. A condition of his appointment?
