GLAMMY

Re: GLAMMY

Did you see that great win tonight Bob??

I reckon that will go the top of your memorable game list


By some distance!


Nick Knight and Daggers on Sky both saying they have never seen a game like it!!

No, I’ve only watched highlights. A second consecutive really good win over what is probably the best T20 side in the country in recent years which shows that, very surprisingly for me, we have a team capable of competing with the best (I give great credit to Richard Dawson, who, like BBM, is proving what a difference having a very good manager/coach at your club can make, for this).

However, a double over Somerset, to go with the four day win, only makes what happened against Gloucestershire all the worse and our displays since that night suggest that the riot act was well and truly read to the team after the game.

Re: GLAMMY

I'm not suggesting it was done on purpose, of course, but a more cynical man than me might point out that the second and third floodlight failures came at extremely convenient times for Somerset. Judging by his reaction on camera and his post-match interview, Carlson clearly felt the same.

Either way, not a great look for the game, especially with it being televised live on Sky. If teams are punished for producing poor pitches, that should certainly be looked at too IMO.

As for Glammy, another ballsy performance with some great individual contributions, although some of the pace bowling was wayward - four NBs are unacceptable at that level.

I suspect that Robert Croft and Charles Dagnall were also a little er......curious shall we say.....about the incident(s) as well!

And when they found out that under the DLS rule, with Glamorgan having scored 193 at the time, they would have won the game, the lights magically came back on again

Re: GLAMMY

Tribe (4) and Crane (0) last seven balls between them as England A’s batting collapses yet again against South Africa A - they’re currently 97-8 off just twenty one overs in their 50 over match.

Re: GLAMMY

Early 5.30 start for Glamorgan today at Worcester. Cooke, Van Der Gugten and Gorvin starting as Carlson wins the toss and puts the home team in to bat.

And they didn't do too badly keeping them to 169, although they let too many runs go the last couple of overs.

But now having started well, Glamorgan have slumped from 51-0 at the end of the power play to 67-4 after 10!

And it is getting very dark, so Duckworth Lewis may be involved.

Now 68-5.... Dixon gone!

Duckworth Lewis they need to be 97!

Re: GLAMMY

They have now gone off for bad light. There are no floodlights in New Road.

To be fair batting must be desperately difficult in
this light.

Re: GLAMMY

The cricketing gods are not with us this season!

After the floodlight fiasco yesterday, bad light appears to have adversely affected us today.

Perhaps the umpires should have taken the players off much earlier - the Worcester commentators certainly seem to think the light has been very poor for a number of overs.

Played on in virtual darkness and lost wickets so DL rate has gone up and now in a losing position with umpires insisting they went off.

Re: GLAMMY

After last night's debacle another great advert for domestic cricket... playing an evening game at a ground that doesn't have floodlights.

Re: GLAMMY

We did put them into bat though so, although it’s bad luck that it got so dark, we could have batted in better conditions.. it’s a long way short of our strongest team and,apart from us putting them in , everything has gone against us, so it’s hard to be critical about the game.

Re: GLAMMY

When we were 53/0 it was very dark. Perhaps Carlson should have had a word at that stage. Mason was a big miss today.

Re: GLAMMY

Kellaway needs to drop down the order.

Maybe to number 11. I rate him highly as do many, but he’s not doing it in T20.
