Let's face it, it's a right royal hiding!
Hopefully only a minor blip on our road to recovery

especially considering the rain yesterday. Thoroughly outplayed.

Yep well beaten.Chris Cooke was a big miss. He took a knock in the nets before this game and was suffering concussion.

Re: GLAMMY

After some promising displays in both one day and four day cricket, this was back to square one with a vengeance. To be honest, the bowling effort doesn't look good (it seems to me that Salter is slowly converting himself into a batting all rounder), but, as usual, it's the batting which looks more problematical. However, whereas, usually, Glamorgan are bowled out for something like two hundred in fifty overs, this time they batted so feebly and without purpose that, despite batting two hundred and eleven overs in the match, they were still very comfortably beaten in a game where some play was lost due to rain - the batting on the first day in particular was a text book example of how not to play on a flat pitch.

Re: GLAMMY

Suppose this is the best place to put this. I see England have just lost in their Women's World Cup game with India (four run outs as they chased 282 for victory) - is it me, or have they got quite a lot worse since they went full time and started receiving so much more sponsorship money?

Decent. Need to bowl them out for less than 250

All out 288 not too bad....I'm wondering how the pink ball is performing

Watched quite a bit of yesterday's play on the Glamorgan website and, after looking a very flat pitch in the first session, there always seemed to be something there for the bowlers after that. I don't think 288 is a bad score, but Derbyshire's attack doesn't look as good as Glamorgan's on paper, so the opportunity is there to get a decent lead if our batting has one of it's good days - however, having seen the forecast for tomorrow, it looks like it will be a three day game, so it's hard to see us winning from here.

I took the dog for a walk at lunchtime and was surprised by how sultry it was - one of the things I thought of as I was shuffling along was these feel like perfect swing bowling conditions for the Derbyshire bowlers.

I dont think its a true picture when TVDG and Morgan are out when its three wickets down. I mean that's your regular number 10, and a player who was in the team last season as a spinner batting 9.

Re: GLAMMY

Watching the live feed now that pink ball don't half look bright.
184-6. Still 104 behind.
Surely we can't be the side that loses to Derbyshire. That would be so embarrassing.
