Re: GLAMMY

The Glamorgan players and captain should receive much credit for this win.
With a nod to the groundsman too.
We have been on the wrong end of some hidings down the years at the hands of Lancashire. Super win on the road 👏

Re: GLAMMY

Best win of the season so far. We looked a good team over those four days. Day one looked like we’d handed them the initiative, but the second day showed that, in fact, we’d batted well and we looked confident after that.

Elsewhere, Leicestershire and Middlesex’s matches are fizzling out into tame draws with just bonus points at stake, but Derbyshire appear to be escaping with a draw as it looks like no play today when they were on their way to defeat at Northampton.

We’re going to be twenty five to thirty points clear in second going into our last three matches.

Re: GLAMMY

Encouraging news from Northampton, they’ve just started there and Derbyshire have lost a wicket already.

Re: GLAMMY

That's a terrific win. The foundations were laid on day one on a pitch taking spin. The openers did well to dig in. It was slow going but that first innings lead showed how well they had done.
Excellent performances from Carlson and Crane. I thought Fernando did well too.

It is. A wonderful all round performance with lots of contributions and 2 wonderful centuries. I felt it was positive to get fernando back - and it certainly was. And with Tim missing. If only the next 3 games were following over the next 3 weeks. Well bowled crane and well done glammy for picking him. Genuine promotion chance now.

Re: GLAMMY

Turns out we’re 24 points clear of third placed Derbyshire who are certainly lucky enough to get promoted.

Hampshire smacking the ball around with some loose bowling.

Re: GLAMMY

correction: awful bowling. Gorvin having a mare.

Re: GLAMMY

Carlson has just reached a superb hundred with almost half of his runs coming in sixes , but it’s in a losing cause surely - 8 wickets down with over a hundred needed.

Re: GLAMMY

Lost by 72, all out with 10 overs left!

Given the timeline I fear this may be close to home

I thought the same as you, but the gentleman concerned’s Wikipedia entry says that he was only employed by Glamorgan in 2024.

Match abandoned at Neath today, currently watching Welsh Fire Women’s team trying their best to lose their first game of the season.
