GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan about to announce legspinner Mitchell Swepson as a replacement for Neser. Lesson not learnt from choosing Patel as Neser's replacement... clear to all that a pace bowler would be more valuable.

With Salter and Sisodiya out of contract at the end of the season, makes you wonder what the future is for one (or both) of them.

Agree that a pace bowler (ideally a pace bowling all rounder) would appear to the more useful. I certainly think Prem and salter are decent players.

Saying that, maybe those players aren't available at the moment. Swepson is a good player, so should give us a boost

Re: GLAMMY

A few years ago, a quality leg spinner in a dry summer, so far, would have been a good signing to play on the Cardiff pitch, but in recent seasons there’s not been much in it for spinners and the wicket has shown a tendency to become slower and lower as the game goes on.

You’d think Swepson could make an impact in the Championship if the rain stays away, but he could do with some help from the Cardiff groundsman.

Re: GLAMMY

Do this lot practice their fielding. Dreadful.

Re: GLAMMY

Someone tell Fletcher you.can’t bat out for a draw in T20.

Re: GLAMMY

This will be another very poor defeat. The difference between the fielding of the two sides has been stark. Sussex have fielded superbly. Glammy’s was amateur hour stuff.

Re: GLAMMY

pathetic! amateurish performance from a 'dog's breakfast' of a side.

Re: GLAMMY

Feel like that game should have finished 40 minutes ago, after Glamorgan based down 110. We've Handed them run after run in the field. Followed by Fletcher turning out a Northeast special.

Re: GLAMMY

One of my grievances with T20 cricket is that, quite often the outcome becomes obvious far too early in the game. There are exceptions obviously, but in 5 of tonights games, the team batting second lost (we were the smallest losing margin of the 5). There were just 2 successful run chases with 1 match abandoned. For a format that's supposed to deliver excitement, more often than not matches seem to drift towards an obvious result, early on in the 2nd innings.

Fletcher couldn’t win it on his own. Tver would have been fine if Cooke or Carlson for example had done the flair work.

To be fair to Fletcher, he improved his scoring rate later in his innings to the extent that he scored quick enough for us to have won if only someone could have stayed with him - the problem as I saw it was that he was taking so long to play himself into some sort of form that he put people like Northeast and Cooke under unnecessary pressure.

Back to the four day stuff today with another game against Sussex. The only one of our injured players to return is Bevan who I suppose may open - Swepson is the only overseas player included.

Re: GLAMMY

Not a great first day!

Re: GLAMMY

An hour played this morning and Sussexhave added just eleven runs while losing three wickets.

Re: GLAMMY

Looks like the kookaburra is doing a bit on our pitch. Could end up with a very handy first innings lead in a low scoring game.

Re: GLAMMY

Edward Bevan was appreciating the nature of the cricket today and so one of the other commentators christened it Bev ball. With just 184 runs scored from a full days play, it certainly wasn’t Baz ball, but Glamorgan are on top with a lead of 85 with all of their second innings wickets left on a pitch where batsmen are really struggling to time the ball - the question is will the weather have the final word because the forecast for the next couple of days isn’t great.
