Re: GLAMMY

Not many pluses from that. Although I do think Leicester will probably finish top 2/3 we still shouldn't be losing like that. I suppose if you are going to have a pasting it may aswell be first game, should hopefully put a ticket up the side now.

This falls firmly into rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic territory. But can't understand Cooke batting below kellaway, one of our best batsman behind a kid who has done nothing yet, get him up the order.

Re: GLAMMY

More crap from Cardiff based sporting teams as Glamorgan put Gloucestershire in to bat and watch them score 100-1. Im still incredulous at the decision to “rotate” Gorvin, who had the best bowling figures and scored a fifty last week, out of the team for the second game of the season!

Re: GLAMMY

It may only be the coaches second game. But as far as I'm concerned dropping Gorvin is a sack the coach moment. Even if the pitch isn't thought to suit his bowling, we could certainly do with his batting ability.

178-1, feels like it’s going to be a long season.

Re: GLAMMY

Given the weather forecast, today was always going to be the best day to make hay, which makes the decision to field quite odd.

The forecast for Bristol is dry over the weekend, with the chance of rain on Monday - Glamorgan will struggle to take into account fourth day given their form so far.

As you say, it’s hard to justify the decision to bowl first - 272-1.

Re: GLAMMY

At least the batsman will have a chance to redeem themselves I suppose. Looks like it will be up to them to bat out a draw. Interestingly, the bookies have had us favourites for the last 2 games. Must be a few shrewd punters who have made a killing.

I saw a forecast earlier for Cardiff that said drizzle tomorrow. Looking now, there is but not until 5pm. Assumed it was the same over the Cardiff Channel (I'm renaming it, Trump style 😊)

No way? I’d assumed they’d loss the toss. Remember that 1 day cup game last year when they chose to bat first on a day it was going to empty down later on.

Re: GLAMMY

Absurd comments by our part time coach - why on earth was, arguably, the best player in the team in our first game, left out of the second one? Worse than that, he’s left out for someone who bowls 13 no balls and 2 wides!

Desperately disappointing start to the season. One heavy defeat almost certainly to be followed by another. And the new coach hardly inspiring. Carlson delivered last week - the r3st of the top 6 need to today. Bloody hell, between this rabble and the city……

Re: GLAMMY

Looking at last season's scores at bristol there were quite a few big innings. In fairness to our bowlers maybe it's just a flat pitch. I suppose we will see when we come to bat.

Wonder how much batting we’ll do today?

My guess is they'll declare mid afternoon and we'll see if we can at least bat out the day without too much damage. Just spotted there might be some rain later today so they might just blitz it until lunch and put us in then?
