GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Somerset 337-9 at the close. Three late wickets give Glamorgan maximum bowling points on a very green looking pitch - it looks like a good score, but if the Cardiff wicket plays true to form, it’ll flatten out from now on.

200-5. Good fight back. Norton with 2. Surprised mcllroy was dropped after hants.

He’s injured apparently.

A struggle today, they’ve only just avoided the follow on. Looks like Glamorgan’s have produced a result wicket and it’s worked against them, I’d say that’s because we allowed Somerset to score about a hundred more than they should have.

A hat trick for Norton on his first class debut!

Take a bow Tom Norton. A hat trick on debut. Brilliant.

Re: GLAMMY

A hat trick on debut is more common than i thought it was, but it looks like it’s only the second time it’s happened in the County Championship.

Norton is quick.

4 wickets and hit Josh Thomas with a shorter ball.

What a prospect at 18!

From what I’ve seen of the pitch for this match, it has up and down bounce which, unusually, tends to involve more balls leaping off a length than keeping low. Norton has exploited this superbly and has been the most threatening of our bowlers - he also batted in a mature fashion which suggested he’s better than a number ten and, if I remember rightly, he took a superb catch on his one day debut last season.

Looking at the pitch in that last hour yesterday, you could argue Somerset already have a big enough lead, but, sometimes, cricket games seem to have a mind of their own and, if we could roll them over quickly this morning, all of the momentum will be with us and what looks like a testing target could turn out to be not as bad as feared.

Re: GLAMMY

Spot on Paul. I only watched a handful of balls on day one but its become clear this is not the standard slow Cardiff track. Perhaps that's why Norton was selected. Certainly not a pitch on which a team should be scoring 354 on.
We need to get Abell out very quickly today.
Anything north of 200 will be a tough ask but again Glammy and proving competitive.
I understand that Norton is the youngest ever player in the entire history of the game to bowl a hat trick on debut. I missed the first two wickets but caught the hat trick ball. Stunning stuff.
