GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

What on earth is happening! I'm afraid to reload the page, because everyone I do another bloody wicket has fallen.

They’re playing Middlesex in Cardiff, it always happens.

94-6.

Re: GLAMMY

A bit of a recovery from 103-7 to 181-8, but does it mean that the wicket is easing just in time for the start of the Middlesex innings?

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan’s one day record against Middlesex in Cardiff has been good down the years, but it’s dreadful in the three/four day game. We lash beat them in a Championship match at Sophia Dardens in 1991 and we even lost to them in our 1997 Championship winning season when, from memory, we were bowled out for thirty odd.

For more than half of my life,City found it impossible to beat Bristol City during the regular league season, what is it about certain opposition that turns a sporting team’s legs to jelly and brains to mush? In both of the examples given, the poor runs have lasted decades, so we’re hardly talking about a specific group of players being to blame.

The strangest thing avout our Middlesex phobia is that we have beaten them in London in the years when we’ve struggled in Cardiff. Only a few weeks ago we racked up more than 600 at Lords, but I swear that if the game would have been played on exactly the same wicket in Cardiff, we’d have lost in three days.

If I were Glamorgan, I’d seriously think about switching our next home Championship game with Middlesex to somewhere like Neath, Colwyn Bay or Abergavenny.

How often have we won a county game in Lords? From memory we usually get battered there too with very few exceptions.

Our record v Middlesex in Cardiff is far worse than even I thought it was!

Glamorgan don't have a good record at Lords, but, whereas we've only won once in Cardiff since 1952, we've won four times at Lords in that time, including in 2010 and 2011, and we also beat them at Southgate in 2000.

Chelsea FC, Clapton Orient FC, Fulham FC, Millwall FC, Queens Park Rangers FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC all used to play in Middlesex aswell as Wembley, and White City.

Long way behind. But they’re fighting. Lead 150. Can our aussie and Ingram turn up in the 2nd?

Yes. Lol.

Labuschagne out after scoring a ton. Ingram 101 not out.

107 in front with 5 wickets left. Glamorgan still in it just about?

Shame Cooke is out, he’s not in great form with the bat this season.

Middlesex still favourites, but, barring a late collapse, it’s been Glamorgan’s day.

Tempted fate. 4 late wickets for 60 runs in last 18 overs. Undid a very good day. From 130 behind to 130 in front. From out of it to nearly in it. For me simply not enough. But it would give me huge pleasure if it was. But gutsy day after disastrous day 1.

Yeah good effort to take it to the last day but still expect it to finish early afternoon tomorrow. Unfortunately no rain tomorrow!

We’ve only but 300 on the board twice in the first innings this season. Often playing catch up to stay in the game.

Think the toss has been very important in the last two matches held in Cardiff. Thankfully, after a year of dead, flat Sophia Gardens wickets which tended to make draws inevitable, the wicket against Sussex and, in all likelihood, the one against Middlesex are going to produce a definite result - if this trend continues, it’s inevitable that Glamorgan will lose out at times.

Re: GLAMMY

This might be a stupid question with an obvious answer, but can anyone explain why batting and bowling points are only awarded for each side's first innings (as opposed to both)?

Re: GLAMMY

114-4 all of a sudden chasing 213 all of a sudden.

Regarding bonus points, I think it’s something to do with the fact that there are plenty of games where both sides don’t get to have a second innings, whereas, unless there’s rain about, both teams always have a first innings.
