They are a village green team these days

There is talent there and I think they can have a good season especially in T20 but it’s been a very poor couple of weeks.

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing. They are to cricket what the Jacks are to football i.e rubbish.

Poor couple of weeks definitely.

It’s the batsmen that’s letting the team down.

Very much so but they are really inexperienced. They need time. I genuinely think there are the makings of a very good side.

Same as the previous three seasons then - some allowance has to be made for it being such a young batting line up in the four day game especially, but someone like Donald has been playing for a few years now and yet seems to be going backwards (I assume he was dropped for yesterday's match despite Carlson being unavailable because of university exams?).

Donald is only 21.

Carlson needed to sit out anyway. Neither of them have been good enough this year.

And he was playing for us two or three years ago, he had a poor time of it last season and has barely scored a run this time around. I was hoping the attention being paid towards our batting in terms of new coaching arrivals and an experienced pro who was recruited to help the younger players out would have bore some fruit, but the first innings of the season apart (I'm beginning to think we scored a quarter of our runs for the season in that innings), it's been the same as usual.

I can remember us being beaten by Leicester three or four years as they recorded their first win in three seasons I think it was and now we've given them a victory to end another long winless run for them in yet another match lost by our "specialist" batsmen.

Yes I saw Donald play in one of his earliest games against Kent in the Royal London Cup in 2015. It’s very early in the season. It’s frustrating at the moment but we have to give the young batsmen time.

How long ago was it when he scored that double century up in Colwyn Bay?

2016. It’s been a struggle for him since. He needs to work on the defensive side if his game.

Re: GLAMMY

Another hopeless performance by Glamorgan in the one day cup, thrashed by Somerset by 83 runs. Marchant de Lange followed up his dismal effort on Friday against Gloucester by going for over 11 runs an over

Aw well that’s 2 of the 3 competitions over for Glamorgan already then......

Yes it is sadly. Marsh needs to be doing better and I do wonder whether Salter is worth persevering with. He is 25 in July and has a bowling average of 51 so he certainly is not good enough as a bowler.He isn’t a specialist batsman so I do think he is fortunate to be in the team.
