Re: GLAMMY
Looking good for us at the moment. Second game in a row 10 Surrey batsman have failed, with only Roy chipping in!

Re: GLAMMY
Kellaway is a terrific prospect but he needs to curb his attacking instincts.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
Very disappointing. Only way Surrey should have been able to win this was lots of quick wickets. To be choked out, especially after the fast start is not good. Smale and Ingram have to take the blame for that.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
We are blowing this. I didn't understand Kellaway for the second game running. Plenty of runs off the over and then he charged down the wicket and holed out.
Cooke out. We will lose a game we should have wonComment

Glammy were mugged by a smarter team and showed their naivety.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
Disappointing to throw that one away last night.
On the plus side, the bowling and fielding were excellent in both games. Really impressed.
Concerns over the top/middle batting order though. Even in the first game we looked on the verge of crumbling before Douthwaite and Tribe managed to put a partnership together.
Given his T20 record I do wonder if Northeast should come back in. Commentators suggesting he's not the kind of person to enjoy being rested.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
I'm torn on Northeast coming back. The 'career' Northeast should be first name on our team sheet, the Northeast that has played T20 for Glamorgan can stay well away though! I think my change for next game would be Sam for Smale, get Tribe up top with Sam down at 5 or 6.Originally posted by FormerlyJohnnyBreadhead View Post
I don't trust Sam at the top of the order, but down at 6, where the game situation makes clear what he needs to do he would be a fantastic asset.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
I remember last year’s game going the same way. Looked on course then their far better bowling attack putting us out of the game. That and dreadful catching which has greatly improved apart from a key drop last night. All fine margins. A bit of sense in the batting would have won that game.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
Hopefully that game is a good kick up the backside and will turn into a positive. We shouldn't be scared of anyone, but we need to take a look at ourselves and how we go about the game. Essex at home next, a very winnable game!Comment

Re: GLAMMY
Some good posts here. It's funny FJB should bring Northeast up, I was wondering about whether he should have played too. As soon as Smale was out I thought 'what would Chrisp have said if Northeast had taken 10 overs to get 26'. I dread to think.Originally posted by chrisp_1927 View Post
It was a painful watch and we got out thought, as others have said. Those lower run chases can be tricky though. It's a bit like being up against 10 men at football, you feel it should be straightforward but you can easily get in a muddle as to how to go about it. I take Pearcey's point about Kellaway but the no risk strategy wasn't exactly a great success either and left us too much to do in the final overs.
Let's hope the rain holds off on Friday. I'll be looking out for you if Northeast plays, I assume you'll be giving him a standing ovation when he comes out to bat.Comment

Re: GLAMMY
Our top order batting has been unreliable in T20 games so far. We were something like 95-8 in the friendly against Wiltshire before Leonard got forty odd late on and we looked like throwing the game away against Middlesex for a while - last night was a bit different as our openers got decent scores, but what followed didn’t offer much - for me, we look too inexperienced in the top six and I’d play Northeast who allowed people to play around him so to speak pretty effectively last season.
Truth is though, Surrey have such strength in depth they should beat us seven times in ten in any format.Comment
