Re: GLAMMY

Kent 48-2, great catch by Carlson to get rid of Bell-Drummond. Compton out as well.

66-4, three wickets for Fernando.

Re: GLAMMY

8 down

Re: GLAMMY

Only in cricket. Nine Kent wickets down and Glamorgan trying to prolong the game with spin at each end because they’re on course to have a point deducted for a slow over rate

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan win by an innings and 161 runs.

That's better.

It certainly is. And even fernando chipped in 2nd innings. Let’s hope the start of something. 2 more before the break - and worryingly both in Cardiff!!

Re: GLAMMY

The Derbyshire game was a big improvement and we were unlucky not to win, but yesterday was a demolition job (albeit against a weakened Kent side). I said earlier in the thread that I didn't think we'd win a game this season, but they seem to have cut out a lot of the sloppiness from the first three games, and they're not giving their wickets away as cheaply which always helps.

Kellaway seems like he's having something of a breakout season, and while I don't want to jump the gun on Tribe just yet, he really looks like he could have the temperament and technique to be a long-term solution to that opener problem.

I should also say I've been a massive critic of Fernando, but it finally seemed to start clicking for him in that second innings. Bowled some terrific lines, very accurate and hostile, and picked up some key wickets. If he can maintain that for the remainder of his time here, he could yet be a success.

I agree about Fernando. There was a suggestion on here that we drop him rather than Ingram when Labuschagne plays his couple of games. I didn't comment on it at the time, but I didn't disagree and I also thought of hiom as beign the one to step down toi accommodate a return for Mason Crane, but he was looked on it from the start yesterday and, if he's going to bowl like that, then he has to play.

A word to for James Harris who bowled so well in his first spell of the season. He and Van Der Gugten were superb at the start of Kent's first innings as they gave them absolutely nothing to hit and had them playing at virtually every ball - Van Der Gugten gave the in form Kent captain Bell-Drummiond a terrible working over before having him caught by Ingram.

Re: GLAMMY

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.

Bashir is a confusing one, because he's clearly crap. His record for all 3 counties is appalling, I'd say there's a decent chance his last game of pro cricket will be in Australia this winter

I’ve said before in this thread, the fact he is penned in to go to Aus as the no.1 test spinner is utterly laughable and can now only be pure stubbornness on the part of stokes and McCullum

[the other bob wilson]

Re: GLAMMY

England have had an obsession with tall bowlers for years and I strongly believe that the fact that Bashir is six foot four helps his test chances immensely. It’s even worse with quick bowlers, I don’t think an English bowler with Malcolm Marshall’s skill set would get selected for the Australian tour if he was the same height as the real Malcolm Marshall was.

Re: GLAMMY

If anyone likes a punt, I think you could do a lot worse than backing Nottinghamshire to win the county championship at 8/1 with paddy power/Betfair . Good side on paper and doing very well so far. Sitting on a 12 point lead currently at the top. Surrey still short, but they look a bit weak in the bowling department, and their batting lineup will be hit hard by the England squad.
