The groundsmen had better start looking for another job by the look of things

This isn't the first time the Cheltenham appears to have been poorly prepared. This game will be over tomorrow. As usual,Glammy struggling to finish off the tail-Enders with Glos 140/9
Yet again another Glammy run out today. Woeful

His batting average is down to 27. Morgan in now and sadly he won't last long. Still another dozen odd overs tonight. Glammy could easily be 3 or 4 down by stumps

Re: GLAMMY

I was being optimistic. Three down already. Why the **** is Owen Morgan batting a three? They will be 6 or 7 down by close of play at this rate

Now 42/4 with four wickets going down in two overs. Spineless

Re: GLAMMY

If we can dig in a bit and send Glos into bat chasing something big like say 78, we might just come away with something.

Re: GLAMMY

24 wkts have fallen today so far, questions must be asked regarding the wicket, even allowing for our pathetic batting.

The pitch is clearly lively with a number of rising balls. You would have thought Cheltenham groundsmen would have learnt from previous problems. However we are playing against a poor side with a poor bowling attack and not the Windies c 1980. There are serious issues with our batting and the failed attempt to turn spinners into specialist batsman. It was obvious Morgan was going to be out quickly this evening.

Re: GLAMMY

54-5

I'm not sure what the record is for the shortist ever Championship game, but I can see this one being over by lunch time tomorrow.

This is going to lead to a points deduction for Glos. Some players out to balls rising steeply. Others out to balls that kept low. Our lot are partially exempted but even so the batting order is a complete shambles. It is not doing young Morgan any good coming in so high up the order when he clearly isn't ready.

Re: GLAMMY

Comments from someone on the Glammy cricket messageboard that the players do not believe the pitch is behaving that badly. Apparently 25 wickets in a day is a County record but am unsure if this is true.
