GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Just watched the final session of play - Glamorgan 433-4 with Carlson making it three centuries in one day (is that a county record I wonder?). A couple of notes of caution though, it looks a very easy paced batting wicket, so Northants will be confident of doing something similar when they bat and second, we scored over 500 in our first innings of last season and we all know how that turned out .

Blaenrhondda Bowling green is right by the football pitch, but my team in that sport play down the road in Treorchy - a City supporting old school mate plays for them and I went to watch them last season.

Having thought about it further, I can tell you that the feat of three hundreds in a day had been achieved once before - in August 11th 1990 - when, on the opening day of Glamorgan’s Championship match with Nottinghamshire at Worksop Town CC, Hugh Morris (110), Matthew Maynard (115) and Viv Richards (127) each scored hundreds.

The fact that this information has appeared on Glamorgan's website overnight is pure coincidence.

Re: GLAMMY

I doubt many saw that coming and to score that many runs in less than 100 overs is impressive.
Bit early to get carried away I know but runs has been a big problem for us this last few seasons and even if Nothants do the same, it can only be positive for the new regime.

Sure you've had a look at the scorecard but when Labuschagne was out in 66 overs it was 260-4. Added 170 from last 30. Maybe a decent shout to reinstate Carlson to line up!

Carlson was always going to play this game, the fact that he could play for Cardiff University meant that the game could give some practice to 13 Glamorgan players (including prem sisodiya).

Didn't realise that. Thanks for clarifying. Decent morning.

Northants 231-0 in reply to Glamorgan's 570-8 - anyone remember this game from twenty six years ago ?

Remember it very well.

I went to the first 2 days. Can't remember what the score was after day 1 but remember wanting to go today 2 just to see how long we'd bat for.
Dale wasn't too far off England selection at the time, but was probably playing on the wrong side of the bridge to get selected. I think he ended up going on one England A tour.

Re: GLAMMY

Adrian Dale was a class act and a really nice bloke. Was lucky enough to play against him a couple of times in club cricket when he would turn out for Chepstow. He recently played for New Zealand over 50s in the World Cup including a game against Wales in Sydney Australia.

Aw 1993! Great times they were. Can name that whole squad and their approximate averages easily.

Memories of the sunday league- huge games of top players totally packed out in ebbw vale, pontypridd, neath and even pentyrch.

The games felt massive and a glammy game was a real occasion- be it cardiff swansea or above. So different to now. Its either empty there (i mean 99% empty) or an after work night out piss up with the cricket as a show.

Maynard getting a century against the Aussies in a tour match (back in the days when touring teams played 3 or 4 day matches against county teams).
Got him selected for the test team only to be out for a duck.

Yes that was at neath. Live on bbc wales tv also.

Re: GLAMMY

They were great days watching Glamorgan. Taking a cool bag up to Sophia Gardens loaded with food and cans sitting there all day in the sunshine.
The trips to Swansea, Ebbw Vale, Llanelli, Neath, Pontypridd and Colwyn Bay, the latter usually against Lancashire.


I remember a Sunday league game at Neath, I think vs Essex, we were comfortable we left them 27 to win off the last with Glamorgan and England's Steve Watkin bowling the last over.
They got 'em!

Only Glammy

After my father died in 1991, my mother had a rough time of it for a year or two, but was more like her old self by the summer of 93 and got quite into Glamorgan (mainly because Viv Richards was playing for us). Nevertheless, it came as a real surprise to me when I casually mentioned that I was going to the cricket the next day and she asked if she could come along too. So it was, she was thrilled to see Viv and Adrian Dale bat for most of that first day against Middlesex and ,if anything, she enjoyed her visit to Abergavenny to watch us against Gloucestershire I think it was a few weeks later even more.

I only went to the first day of the Middlesex match, but I can remember meeting up with some people who had been to the third day who were saying how they had been stood by the pavilion at the end of play shouting at Mike Gatting off for killing the game by batting on so long in Middlesex's first innings - there aren't many teams that could have made Gatting look a tactical genius on the fourth day, but Glamorgan managed it .
