GLAMMY

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.

Salter and UL Hasan would have had ginger boll@cks spitting feathers. But well done to them I say, played to the conditions and built a valuable partnership

Re: GLAMMY

With weather looking dodgy I had hoped we’d press on this evening. Why do cricketers think runs scored in the morning are more valuable than the evening? An opportunity missed.

Re: GLAMMY

I haven't seen particularly ominous forecasts for the next couple of days. I'd say we look in a very healthy position at the moment

Re: GLAMMY

pretty slow going stuff this. theres potential rain around tomorrow you'd think they'd try to move the score along a little.


66 runs and 2 wickets in session 1, more zzzzball than bazball i guess.

Re: GLAMMY

watching Glammy second innings and a shame the openers were on the back foot and we've still got injuries to key players. currently lead by 169 and Carlson and Northeast in which will be a key partnership.

Re: GLAMMY

Carlson provides some much needed acceleration with 59 off 50 balls, Glamorgan 221-4 with Northeast on 61, so 260 on with my concern being that it’s looking an increasingly easy pitch to defend on.

Seems like a high proportion of lbw and bowled this match, maybe the difference in ball has something to do with it. Very healthy lead of 285, with Northeast and Cooke at the crease we're in a good position to push on from here.

Re: GLAMMY

Not watched Glamorgan ccc in decades...since the days of Gilbert Parkhouse/Jim Pressdee et al!! But have been this afternoon...actually really good to watch a good tactical match instead of headlining test matches!

Re: GLAMMY

Mind you...the commentators are pretty woeful....

This is a bit ambiguous for me. This report and the Yorkshire findings are disturbing. But I always thought that Maynard was a far more talented cricketer than Ramprakash but he got more opportunities to recover from poor performances than Maynard ever did at test level.

Probably more geographical than racial bias on my part. Though Ramprakash sort of down playing the findings of the report because he managed to become President of Middlesex and Director of Cricket at Harrow Public School didn't necessarily make him representative of anyone who fell through the cracks!

Re: GLAMMY

Giving it a decent go

Re: GLAMMY

205-7 at tea, four wickets to Swepson. After blocking throughout their first innings and for the first half of their second one, Sussex are not batting as if they’re trying to win the game.

Possibly managing to throw the win away
