Re: GLAMMY

Blimey, just been messing about on You Tube and came across live coverage of a pre season friendly of a game between Somerset and Worcestershire - the season will soon be upon us.

Actually, I'm pretty sure we're playing a friendly at Taunton in the next week or so - maybe there'll be live coverage of that as well?

think they playing one of the colleges or universities today somewhere so def wont be long

Re: GLAMMY

Most the counties are doing live streams either through general social media or their own club sites.

Hopefully there will be tho opportunity to watch some live cricket and the county championship would seem ideal to start with as attendances are generally low so ample room to socially distance.

Glamorgan’s three day friendly at Somerset starts at 12.00 and is being streamed by the home county;

Somerset 42-2 if anyone’s interested.

Re: GLAMMY

Close of play, Somerset 262-8 declared, Glamorgan 39-1. We let them off the hook a bit as we let their number ten score fifty and I was dreading what would happen in the hour or so we had to bat before the close, but not a bad day at all against what is very close to a full strength Somerset team.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan 150-2 in reply to 262-8 for Somerset. Balbirnie 70 odd not out.

Re: GLAMMY

Glamorgan 238-6 declared, so both sides are trying to have a proper game, rather than using it as a glorified practice session - it’s set up for another declaration tomorrow morning with Glamorgan chasing in the last two sessions, but they’ve been competitive so far against a team being tipped to win a trophy this season.

Re: GLAMMY

It it likely that Glammy can be competitive in any of the tournaments this year?

It has been pretty grim stuff for a while now. Occasionally there is a flicker of hope which is quickly extinguished and the normal dismal season unfolds.

Anyone have any thoughts on the Hundred and how it may impact on the County set up?

I’m very much against it as the Blast was established and pretty successful in getting people in to support their county. This franchise nonsense really looks like a dogs dinner to me however I accept that as a traditionalist I may not be the target audience.

It’s only a friendly, but I’m encouraged by the way this game against a Somerset side that beat us easily last year has gone (Somerset are 121-1 in their second innings and I’m sure they’ll set us a target rather than opt for batting practice). If Glamorgan’s batting can hold up (a big if based on the evidence of the last few seasons), then I think they can be competitive in their Bob Willis Trphy group - I’m not talking about what looks a very tough group, but I’d like to think it won’t be an embarrassment.

Agree with you completely about the Hundred.

Re: GLAMMY

I’m very much against The Hundred too. No need for it.
I think you’re right Paul. Somerset will declare possibly pre lunch and set us around 250 to win
We do have Labuschagne back in May and he will make a difference.

There’s Michael Naser to come as well, I know very little about him, but, according to the commentators on the Somerset website yesterday, he’s been more or less a permanent twelfth man for the Australian test team in their domestic season.

Re: GLAMMY

Somerset 247-6 declared at lunch leaving Glamorgan two sessions to get 272. I’d say the best we can hope for now is probably a draw.

121-1 at tea, could I have been wrong?
