Re: GLAMMY

Good from these 2. Giving us a fighting chance of a draw. Looks like there could be rain from around 3 pm tomorrow aswell. The way Ingram and Hamza are playing, I bloody well hope that we see Ingram and Marnus lining up together. This Hamza looks an absolute donkey(hope he proves me wrong), Ingram has been fantastic.

I'd be asking the groundstaff at Sophia gardens to do everything they can to produce a turning pitch. Harris gets decent movement on grippy pitches, get prem in the side along with crane. Because this pace attack is toothless

To be fair to him, he's certainly proving me wrong this session. Sussex 5 down, Glamorgan on top

Before a really annoying 8th wicket partnership. Typical glammy

Timely wicket. That was getting very frustrating

Over 100 added already for last 3. And not done. So frustrating

Re: GLAMMY

I see Brendan McCullum flew over from New Zealand and played a round of golf with Jimmy Anderson, during which he told the man I think is rightly regarded as England’s best ever bowler that from the end of this season England are going to be looking to build a squad for the next Ashes tour when Anderson will be 43, it looks like his last test will be at Old Trafford in late August.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan finished 21 in reply to Sussex’s 276 - that’s more than they looked like getting at one time, but not a bad day overall.

No other county managed to take 10 wickets on day 1, so credit where credit's due. Can we take 10 more though?

Re: GLAMMY

Three hundred partnership, 341/4. Is the Cardiff wicket running true to form and can we expect three or four wickets a day, if we’re lucky, from now on?

342/4.

Another 7 runs and it will be glamorgan's highest ever 5th wicket partnership (which also involved Carlson)

Update. 349/4 308 run partnership Glamorgan's best ever for the 5th wicket

Re: GLAMMY

Unbelievable partnership earlier. This Harris innings looks like it could be vital. Moving towards a good lead now, where it did look like we might waste the efforts of Carlson and Ingram and crumble.

Looks like the first 10/15 overs with new ball are vital. All our wickets have fallen with the new ball, but it looked very placid in between

Re: GLAMMY

Looks like the weather’s going to be the winner over the next two days and, having been rescued by the rain twice already, Glamorgan can’t really complain if it is. Even if the rain holds off today and Monday, you have to wonder if the wicket will flatten out like it usually does at Cardiff. Glamorgan’s seam bowling attack in this match looks as weak as it has done in years and it’s a surprise that they were able to roll Sussex over so cheaply in the first innings - maybe Hamza and Harris can do the business again, but the odds are that both of them will spend much of the next two days in the pavilion watching the rain come down.

Tomorrow looks like a write off, we need to bowl them out today. Hard to see that with this attack but if there is a bit of humidity in the air Hamza and Harris might be able to get into them. Id be quietly confident if tim was fit but although Zain and gorvin did well in the first innings its hard to see them running though anybody.
