Struggling here on this pitch....40-2 after 8 overs

Re: GLAMMY

What we reckon then? Pitch or poor batting display. The way that Carlson and Marnus struggled makes me veer towards pitch. Hoping Ingram and douthwaite could be big here, maybe heft rather than timing can get us a flurry of boundaries.

Commentators seem to think 166-8 is a good score but looks light to me

Re: GLAMMY

Great from Ingram. Watching on my phone in a pub showing the England game so didn't catch much commentary, but from the little bits of commentary I did hear they seemed to think it was a 150 pitch.

Carlson and Marnus struggled to get it away at times, but they kept playing their shots and built us a decent base.

Liked the intent by timm on 18.6. Alleyne(despite his team picking woes) and Bradburn seem to have given us a licence and encouraged an intent that we haven't had before. Ok, he got caught on the boundary. But his job with that ball was to load up and belt it, hopefully get a 6, but if not ingrams still on strike for last over. Under Maynard's regime I think the pressure there would be to get a single.

Over to the bowlers

Think I was being under pessimistic by saying it was a little light. Looks all over after just 6 overs!

Essex is a 200 ground at any time. Highly optimistic to think this was a tricky target.

looked like it was going to be a walkover but if glamorgan can get wickets they might get something

Re: GLAMMY

Marnus doesn't like being out the game does he. Too early to start with ' oh glammy glammy' !!
