Phenomenal performance so far. Really got Kent on the ropes

Re: GLAMMY

Any idea at all why gorvin was left out for 2 games - unless under pressure from ECB maybe to play bashir as part of loan agreement? Obviously fernando as overseas I guess has to play?

I could be completely wrong, but I feel Gorvin might be thought of as a bit of a Cardiff specialist by Glamorgan - I get the feeling that the large majority of his wickets last year came in home matches. The two games he was left out for were at Gloucestershire and Middlesex and then he was back for Derbyshire at home - I’d hope he’s made himself undroppable forsome time with the start he’s made to the season though.

Re: GLAMMY

At last some good sporting news during a weekend!

Let's hope it's the start of something better - and I don't mean just in the cricket!

Re: GLAMMY

Against the spirit of the game?

I don't think it is when you bear in mind this story from nearly fifty years ago which explains why declarations aren't allowed in limited overs cricket.

Definitely an element of that.

I was worried that Bashir coming in would displace Kellaway but the club were obviously so keen on him that they decided to go to two spinners in April, it felt like a squad wrecking loan at the time but it just wrecked the squad in a different way to how I expected it to.

Maybe they thought it was the only way Glamorgan were ever going to get a player selected for an England senior or Lions squad again? Wonder if Kellaway's three career best scores in successive matches and his completely outbowling Bashir against Middlesex even registered with the selectors? I suppose the latter might have because it did happen at Lords.

Late order bloody runs. Again!

Whatever the rights and wrongs - far more wrongs for me - it definitely has not helped us early season. We need to beat Kent now to kickstart our season.

Re: GLAMMY

Looking at the way our bowlers are doing it seems a bit of a shame that Marnus is going to replace Ingram for those 2 games. I think I'd rather it was Fernando sitting out. Good to see Harris back and in the wickets, end of last year he seemed back to his best, if he can carry on like that we have a really serious bowler on our hands

Re: GLAMMY

Kent 212 all out and 19-0 following on. Think it could be very hard work for Glamorgan if they don’t make a breakthrough with the new ball - hope we don’t regret not including Crane.

I take it from that comment then that he’s fit again?

Yes, he was in the squad for the current game.
