Re: GLAMMY

462-4 at the close with Carlson and Cooke putting on an unbroken 300 plus. Incredible really considering the scores at the ground throughout the season, but, occasionally, the Sophia Gardens pitch gets flatter and flatter as a game goes on and this might well be one of those wickets. However, barring something truly incredible tomorrow, Glamorgan will take enough points to go above Northants even if it’s a draw and finish a very creditable third in a six team group which has four First Division sides in it.

Great day today. Hopefully they can skittle Northants out tomorrow.

400 for 4
Carlson and Cooke with a 200plus partnership

Finished 462-4.
400 runs in the day.
300 partnership.
Highest ever 5th wicket partnership for Glamorgan, beating one from 1949.
Highest ever 5th wicket partnership by anyone v Northamptonshire.
And one for the purist - First 100 of the partnership no extras.

Re: GLAMMY

On a Glamorgan theme, Andrew Balbirnie, who had a really tough time of it with us at the start of the season, scored a hundred for Ireland today in their comfortable forty odd run win over South Africa in a fifty over match in Dublin.

Re: GLAMMY

Lovely stuff today. As much as the T20 performances have been disappointing the team have done very well in the Championship. We will finish third which in a very tough group is excellent.
I hope Carlson gets a shot with England Lions this winter.

Re: GLAMMY

Very good day . Root and Marnus were very good. When they were both bowled within a few balls it looked like same old story. What a partnership by Cooke and carlson though

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan declare … 247 ahead

Re: GLAMMY

We should win this now, but why not another half hour this morning, or really hit out last night. Another declaration from a very strong position, that gives the opposition a very good chance.

Got to be honest, can't quite get onboard with the overachieved narrative that Maynard wants to pump out. The 2 aussies are world class, Lloyd's scored lots from the top, Carlson has looked fantastic at times and the bowling attack has showed the quality we all knew it had. We should be playing hard and trying to maximise points, rather than this idea of 'making a game of it for the experience '.

They don't need toughening up or 'experiences '. They deserve to be sent out as a team that can and should compete hard and win a lot of games.

Re: GLAMMY

Just realised it was 1st innings. Im a braindead idiot . Just needed a rant obviously !!

Re: GLAMMY

Northants 70-3, with all of the wickets to Neser. Northants, having already lost Berg to an injury sustained before he had played any part of the match, have now, sadly, lost Proctor because of a family bereavement, so we only need to take eight wickets to win.

Re: GLAMMY

97-4 at lunch thanks to a really daft run out off the last ball of the session.

Re: GLAMMY

Northants survived pretty comfortably in the end at 250-5 with the pitch the winner. It seems Cardiff wickets are either so bowler friendly that you need help from the weather to go into the final day or they flatten out into absolute roads - there’s no happy medium.

Re: GLAMMY

Just watching the bowling and it is truely is abysmal. Meanwhile Neser isn’t picked again. Maynard hasn’t taken this competition seriously.
