Re: GLAMMY

If next year's team resembles anything as bad as the squad assembled here then questions need asking.

They'll probably pick Bairstow again...

Re: GLAMMY

Played six, lost six then with the men halfway through their programme and the women a third of the way through (they only play six games). Must say that, on the evidence so far. the women's prospects of coming up with that elusive first win are better than the men's - I've been very critical of the men's team, but, you look at that batting line up on paper and they really aren't anywhere near as bad as their woeful record this season suggests they are.

One other thing, I believe that was Zampa's last game for the season and he's been the best bowler for the Welsh Fire by a distance.

That’s a shame, he was one of the best WF players yesterday. The team is such a mess with some woeful batting performances.

Must win today at Neath in the one day cup, although I have low hopes, and unfortunately we’re already two wickets down. Looks like a good toss to have won for Lancashire. I was hoping to get down Friday with some of the family to cross off an out ground but likely transport disruption has made me think again.

The forecast’s pretty good for Friday and it’s not too bad a ground to reach. I’ve been a couple of times and it’s quite a nice place to visit - Neath’s easy to reach from up here at the top of the Rhondda valley (much easier than Cardiff) and, from memory, Cardiff to the Gnoll is not too bad.

Getting another right hammering today!

Re: GLAMMY

Good story about two stalwarts of the county game who should have played for England, but never did - watching Glamorgan in the fifty over stuff lately, I’d think of giving Stevens a one year white ball contract.

Re: GLAMMY

Hants 99-5 , winning the toss and bowling first seems to be a big factor in these games!

Hampshire have an amazing record though, they’ve won something like seventeen out of their last nineteen matches - it would be some achievement for Glamorgan to win this, but 200 will probably be too much for them to chase.

Re: GLAMMY

Tom Bevan has scored a maiden hundred for Glamorgan’s first team off 88 balls with ten fours and six sixes. My doubts about them scoring 200 are looking idiotic 167-1 in the twenty sixth over chasing 229.

Re: GLAMMY

Bevan smacking it all to all corners at the moment. Fantastic knock. All in vain, campaign wise, but a very good performance against a half tidy side in Hampshire.

Re: GLAMMY

That's better. Against the unbeaten leaders too. Great knock by Bevan.

Thought it was a lovely day and relatively stress free at the Gnoll yesterday. The body language of the players looked really positive from the off. Some very canny bowling and fielding. If Carlson had held onto that catch I would say it would be one of the best I'd have ever seen live. As it was it was just a great stop.

Bevan was a revelation, very impressive. I'm a bit out of touch with local league cricket these days having packed it in a decade or so ago. I'd be interested to hear a bit more about his background and progress from St Fagans folk

The commentators were saying Bevan was struggling to get in the seconds last season. The question now is does he become Ingram’s replacement for the important four day stuff to come? Ithink he may well be.

Yep and he deserves the opportunity after yesterday
