GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Good to see plucky little Glamorgan pick up a win on Sky yesterday, chasing down 347 to beat Sussex. We kept losing key wickets but young Danny Douthwaite held his nerve to put us in a great position then teenager Roman Walker hit the winning six. Nothing on the game for us but the youngsters embraced like they'd just won the World Cup and the rest of the team, who'd been cheering noisily from the balcony, came down en masse to congratulate them. No reason to get carried away about it, of course, but we may as well enjoy the positives when they come.

Highlights of Douthwaite's innings here. The technique suggests he won't be opening in test cricket any time soon but he looks to have a big heart (he bowled well too). Not sure about his haircut but he's young so there's plenty of time to work on that.

Glamorgan finished their 50 over programme well with three wins from four matches and, having switched over from the Liverpool v Ajax match to watch the last three or four overs of Tuesday's game. I can confirm they've definitely got some lower order batsmen who can not only hit the ball very hard, but also hit it a long, long way.

Douthwaite hadn't done much in his first couple of matches for us, but, as you say, he bowled really well against Sussex. Roman Walker might be one to keep an eye out for as well - he took six wickets in an innings and then scored an unbeaten 80 to guide Glamorgan to a draw in their last second eleven match against Gloucestershire.

Bull was injured. Salter has had more than enough chances and is not the future. The new players have done very well and one of them Douthwaite has had a terrific day. It looks like there will be a result tomorrow but can Glammy chase 200 plus on a final day wicket?

Re: GLAMMY

Bad start to a big day for Glamorgan. Derbyshire's second half century last wicket stand of the match leaves us chasing 245 to win - seems a bit too much to me and, if it is, it'll almost certainly be those last wicket runs which win it for Derby.

Already 1 down. Need a big innings from Hemphrey or Labuschagne here.

And you're right, Bob. That's a great dig from Rampaul, which has changed the game.

Re: GLAMMY

Looks like our last hope has gone with Douthwaite needing to dig in.
Madsen doing the damage on an obviously worsening pitch.
We're doomed i tell thee, doomed!

208-7. Cullen & Salter have put on 46 and need 38 to win.

Re: GLAMMY

Salter gone now, think it’s swung back in Derbyshire ‘s favour but it’s going to be a close finish!
