GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

not this time 79-4

Was looking good as we pushed through the 50s for 2. But those 2 wickets have pushed us right back. Carlson going well, could do with a real big score from him

Re: GLAMMY

186 all out. Good partnership between Douthwaite and Harris to take us from 135-7 to 184-8. Last 2 wickets then fell for 2 runs.

Commentators did seem to think it looked a good bowling pitch. Let's hope it is.

Re: GLAMMY

Sussex untroubled on 41-0 in reply to Glamorgan’s 186.

Absolutely nothing on this game for Glamorgan, Sussex looking to clinch the title - will it last beyond three days.

Glamorgan’s focus at this stage of the season is on just one match.

Re: GLAMMY

Interesting at the top of division one. One of the all time poor performances I've ever seen, and delivered by a good side in Surrey.

Surrey all over Somerset in the 2nd innings, before Craig overton hit 49 not out and tom banton hit 40 odd from number 11, commentators didn't think he'd come out as he was struggling to even walk. Fantastic innings. Surrey had all day to chase less than 200 and put the league to bed. Made the quite frankly ridiculous decision to play for a draw instead. Got their just desserts, Somerset wrapped up the win with only minutes to spare

I watched much of the last couple of hours of the game and, although I didn’t get Surrey’s attitude (I suppose the Championship would have been theirs with a draw), I’d give Somerset credit for some great late order batting and good bowling - Michael Vaughan’s boy, who opened the batting and took eleven wickets in the game, looks a prospect.

Yeah unbelievable effort by the young Vaughan. He must be bloody knackered mind, bowl 40 odd overs in the first innings then wander out to open the batting. He seemed to be doing a lot more with the ball than jack leach at the other end aswell. Really hope Somerset go on and win the league now!

Me too. With that sort of performance, and the approach of the England management team - pick them young and raw with potential- wouldn’t be surprised to see him called up for Pakistan tour if anyone were to drop out.

He must be in the conversation now surely. An opener who can bowl is incredibly useful aswell.

Agree. Exciting prospect. And an interesting conundrum. Vaughan and leach bowl Somerset to victory. Bashir, their county colleague who cannot get in the Somerset side, is no. 1 pick for country!

I hadn't realised Bashir was at Somerset aswell. Wonder if the ecb will force them to move 1 on this winter, like they did with crane at Hampshire.

One in the eye for those that say glamorgan never win anything these days. Dewi the dragon wins the mascot race. Wonder who was inside?

Re: GLAMMY

watching the inevitable thumping by Yorkshire. Interesting listening to Edward Bevan saying it had been a poor season for Glammy. Failed to qualify for Blast finals, last but one in Div 2 of CC. Northeast gone right off the boil. Very sad to see how the club has gone backwards and their demise.

In fairness, you can't focus on the negatives of the CC and T20 but then ignore the positives of the One Day Cup, in which we've obviously had a very good year.

The same problems still seem to persist though, year after year. Still sorely missing a reliable opener and an additional paceman. Still wildly inconsistent. A lot was made of the performance culture (or lack of) after Maynard left; evidence would suggest not much has changed.

You always get the feeling that we're not a million miles off, but we're just always short of kicking on to that next level.

Re: GLAMMY

A maiden first-class 50 for Asa Tribe. It's been a tough start for him but he came good today while wickets were tumbling around him. Not out so a chance to add some more in the morning.

Re: GLAMMY

Pretty atrocious return to the championship. Less said the better.

Cooke and Crane won’t be selected for the final, apparently Somerset taking a somewhat similar approach in terms of call-ups. Let’s see.

Great memories of Trent Bridge last time out but unable to travel up this time, looks like it could be a case of hoping for enough (40?) overs taking place to make a game of it over the two days going by current forecasts.
