GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Really impressive bowling performance by Glamorgan when you consider they were two men down, but I don’t get opening with Salter and Gorvin when Root scored 175 not out for the seconds as an opener and was top scorer in the first innings. Having Root go in first doesn’t have to be a permanent thing, just a one off in an emergency.

I thought that there was a chance the Salter experiment could work because he’s a stubborn lower order batsman (I’ve always thought the same about James Harris as a potential top order batsman, but the time for that has probably gone now), it hasn’t though. With this being our last four day game for a while, you’d like to think that Byrom will be available to open with Lloyd (providing the injury which stopped him bowling yesterday is nothing major) when fixtures resume,

Re: GLAMMY

Was raging about Gorvin opening. But to be fair if Lloyd was unable to open it's a bit more understandable. If Maynard doesn't see root as an opener then fair enough I suppose, but then why the hell make him open for the seconds. They've asked him to open, he's absolutely nailed it , then they drop him down the order again.

I can't slam Marnus too much for that innings. He has taken out a very healthy chunk of the total runs we needed. Generally if he goes for a big shot he gets it right. Barring a disaster we should knock these runs off !!

84-5. That disaster is looming.

84/7 with 2 batsmen perhaps not batting. Would have been a herculean effort to win this all things considered.

I’m sure they will both bat but this is looking decidedly iffy.

not looking good 104 for 6

Root out in similar fashion to Salter and Labuschagne and pulling at another short ball. Really poor batting.
Durham favourites now.

Re: GLAMMY

Lloyd gone. Seven down. Hugely disappointing. The Labuschagne wicket last night looks likely to prove to be pivotal.

Re: GLAMMY

Odd that we elected to field when the scores have reduced significantly between first and second innings

Re: GLAMMY

what a total feckedup batting display

Re: GLAMMY

Very disappointing result

Re: GLAMMY

Thats disapointing. At least we picked up 7 bonus points, and middlesex look like drawing. Tinkerman Maynard doesn't help. I'm sure he'll come out with some crap about it being a 'good learning experience.
