Re: GLAMMY

In the end very comfortable.Our first home win in T20 this season. Leics at home is winnable. Let's hope for a dry day. We should find out tonight which night next week the game is played. A great effort to finish top of the table. Plaudits to the team.

Agree

Re: GLAMMY

Wednesday 23rd, 6:30pm v Leics. Not sure how that fits in with Miller's schedule

Let's hope Miller is available, amazingly it's forecast dry for Wednesday

Yep. We will find out soon enough. We do need Miller. At the moment it's dry on Wednesday. Really looking forward to going to this. Hopefully we will have 10,000 for this.

South Africa A v India A due to finish on the 22nd. Thursday or Friday and he'd definitely play, can't see him being able to make the Wednesday. Oh well

It looks too tight for a long haul flight back. Big shame.

Re: GLAMMY

An absolutely mental group stage and what has been an immensely competitive one; don't think you've have many places where all the teams could qualify with one game left to go...

To any Glammy members are they making you buy a ticket? Despite being a T20 member (which should entail access to ALL games) at Surrey we're being asked to cough up £15; looks like Derbyshire and Notts are also following suit.

Re: GLAMMY

Typical.
Anyone want a cheap finals day ticket?

Yeah

Don't wanna be the voice of doom but a home game T20

Good win, little pressure TBF though, win win

Yep we will need to buy a ticket. The club were clear that if you bought a T20 season ticket it was for the seven home games only. It's fair enough although those who bought them have not had value for money with all the abandonments.
Good win for your boys tonight. Kent really choked though.

Oh bless. Very sad to hear of this. Just after his 90th birthday. The word legend is bandied around too often in sport. This guy was a true Glamorgan legend who was good enough to play Test cricket.

Ah bless.
90 is a cracking innings.
Glamorgan and cricket all time greats no question.

Yep over 2000 first class wickets. That's staggering.

Re: GLAMMY

I cannot think of a single cricketer who would have averaged around 100 first class wickets nearly every season over the course of twenty odd years who didn't play test cricket. Shepherd was so unlucky to be playing when Lock and Laker were around.
We ought to have a separate RIP thread. Paul (ToBW) is the man for that.

He'd have had 100 caps if he was playing these days with all the forms of cricket flying about.
Of course not playing for a "fashionable" county didn't help his cause.
