Re: GLAMMY

Momentum seems to be with Glammy at tea, but still an uphill struggle.

6 down, 55 left. C'mon glammy!

Re: GLAMMY

Jesus Christ! That googly turned round a corner. Would have been damn tough to keep out of it was one of 6 offies. Absolutely no chance whatsoever when you're expecting a leg spinner

Interesting to hear nick Webb say he's never seen a 4 day pitch like this at Glamorgan. I thought this what our pitches used to be like. Thinking back to the croft/cosker spin twin days. Maybe it was just more slow in the past than a sharp turner

Phil Tufnell spun us out 30 years ago on such a wicket in the game where Adrian Dale and Viv Richards both got 200.

Re: GLAMMY

gutted to lose that but the bowling attack was always going to struggle and why leave the main man out.

Re: GLAMMY

Gutted. When crane was last man out before lunch I thought to myself can he bowl a team out on last day in last innings. Classic leggie scenario. So nearly did. Bad luck glammy. After looking definite losers for 3 and a half days, for an hour they looked likely winners. Only to lose it narrowly at the end. Helm is a git. Always seems to turn up against us. Always ball, and now bat. What a difference in the table a win would have made.

It was a great game of cricket, disappointing but also encouraging because we were out of that game and even became favourites with an hour to go.
And even more disappointing because it was bloody Middlesex.

Re: GLAMMY

Not sure why Northeast took out the second slip for Crane - there was a pretty easy catch to second slip with twenty to get and that was the game changer for me. Still, Glamorgan made a great. Fight of it and you can’t really say the result would have been different if Hamza had played, because it was Ingram and Labuschagne who gave us a chance.

Re: GLAMMY

Thought Crane did so well to put us in that position. But then when he had put the game in his hand, he then spaffed it away with some really loose bowling at helm and Davies. Not sure if he was getting tired, would have been nice to have seen Marnus and Carlson have a go with that spinning pitch

I'd thought the same. Harris frankly didn't do a lot. It sucks losing!

What Harris did do is bowl really quick if the speed gun is to be believed. In the Sussex game, everyone was raving about how Seales had been genuinely quick for them, but Harris was recording speeds of up to 88 mph against Middlesex compared to Seales who was around the 83/84 mph mark. As I said, I’m not convinced that the speed gun for the Middlesex game can be relied upon, but, even if there was something wrong with it, Harris was still, apparently, bowling a fair bit quicker than anyone else. The common view among cricket pundits is that Harris’ bowling never recovered from the England selectors decision to tell him he needed to bowl quicker to get into the test team, but, if this season’s speed guns are to be believed, he has found the pace that would once have won him an England cap very late in his career.

Re: GLAMMY

Totally agree with Paul about Northeast taking out the second slip. No idea why he did that. There was that edge that Ingram couldn't reach which would have been a dolly for second slip. He did put a second slip back in again but it was too late.
A really gutsy fightback but only two points from the game is going to hurt.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan’s final four day game in this portion of the season begins today at Leicestershire with top scorer in the country Colin Ingram the overseas player to miss out this time. Good to see Tim Van Dar Gugten named in the squad for the first time this season, but if the last game at Grace Road, where Gloucestershire scored over 700, is anything to go by it will be hard to get a positive result with showers forecast for Sunday and Monday.

Re: GLAMMY

Keeping an eye on the Surrey game as I've got a bit of dough on Rory burns. Surprised to see Michael Neser in the Hampshire side. I'd thought he was just playing the t20s for them . He's a big miss for us this year

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan 90-1 after being put in on a pitch that was almost as green as the outfield.
