Re: GLAMMY

Middlesex got a tie at Hampshire tonight and, while it feels there's something not quite right at Essex, they're still a dangerous side as they've shown tonight. We deserve credit for both wins against them. Batted well, took wickets at key times and were very lively in the field. Tribe's catch just as Cox was going through the gears last night might have saved things getting a bit messy.

A couple of things from the Sussex v Essex game tonight. Looks like Tymal Mills got injured, he only bowled five balls. Also, Paul Walter walked for an lbw which is always funny to see.

Aneurin Donald got 73 off 34 balls for Derbyshire tonight, with five 6s. I wonder if he'll end up back here one day?

We were good against Essex, but I thought it was a little like a Third Round FA Cup tie where, say, a Championship team visits a non league side, endures a few awkward moments, but wins comfortably enough in the end.

Our next two matches will tell us a lot

Chris Cooke can’t go on for ever, so maybe we could bring Donald back as a keeper - although, that’s a role that seems to have been Horton’s for the taking since we gave him that long contract when he was 16 (realistically, Smale’s emergence as well means that Cooke’s replacement is already at the club).

Looked like Essex were on for a big victory, I'm going to take the blame for the rain, I'd bet on an Essex win!!

Not sure if Donald plays much long form cricket nowadays, but nice to see him doing well. As long as him and Lloyd are quiet if we play them.

Re: GLAMMY

Sussex again. McAndrew again. 11 wickets against us in 8 overs. Bloody hell. We needed 40 off 4 with 5 wickets left. Douthwaite gets out. Game over. We win one, we lose one.

Re: GLAMMY

We’re your typical mid table side - beat the teams below you and lose to the ones above you. We might manage to scrape a fourth place finish, but anything higher than that looks beyond us.

Re: GLAMMY

Nathan McAndrew isn't a bad bowler, but he's not a good one either. He's a slightly below average bowler who can biff it a bit, to sign him as an overseas player is quite a sign of low ambition. How the hell has he just taken 11 wickets in 2 games against us.

Exactly. After watching him take 5 the other night there is no way he should have ripped through us again tonight. Not good enough.

If the team finds itself having to slog every ball out of the ground you are going to take wickets, as they did. The catching was faultless too unfortunately.

Re: GLAMMY

Kiran Carlson has looked right out of form this weekend. He’s such an important player for us, but he’s barely timed a shot well in the last two games - out for a laborious 8 today after Smale went first ball - 34-2 in the fifth over.

Re: GLAMMY

Kellaway looks such a good batsman at times, just stumped for 53 - 97-3 in the eleventh over.

Re: GLAMMY

Unbelievable innings from Asa Tribe at the end. A great innings from Glamorgan had suddenly slowed down at the wrong time. But 41 runs off the last 2 overs take us to 189

Absolutely superb.
Payne is a very good bowler in this format - hammered by Tribe.
Gloucester commentators though 170 would be decent.

Re: GLAMMY

Fantastic, big win. Tough game coming against Somerset on Friday, but they lost today so they're certainly beatable.

Re: GLAMMY

Mason Crane’s taken a lot of wickets this season, but, with red ball cricket to return quite soon, it’s hard to see a way into the team for him for that. Our squad has got more depth to it this year than it’s had for some time with Tribe and Kellaway doing really well, Leonard coming along nicely and Smale establishing himself in the one day stuff.j

He played for the seconds in the week so he must be concerned about his form but that superb 90 odd against Essex was only nine days ago so it seems a bit odd.
