England getting smoked.
Ex Glamorgan coach Matthew Mott under a lot of pressure after England’s defeat, big game for them tonight when Scotland face Oman.
Still reflecting on Essex game. So disappointing. Big fan of Carlson - and he is relatively inexperienced as captain - so not going to be too critical, but a really poor decision to take both crane and marnus out of attack. Game was there to win. Would have expected influence from northeast, Ingram etc. crucial we win next game.
Totally agree. Hard to second guess the reasons, but it appeared to me that bringing on Ingram was done with with an eye to filling the 20 overs. But that just shouldn't have been an issue, they were 8 down and we just needed to go in for the kill.Quote:

think buttler did the same yesterday with jacks trying to get the first 6 overs done withQuote:

India 96-7 in the fifteenth over on what looks a dodgy wicket.
Llanedeyrnblue has a lot to answer for back in 2016 for the name of this thread....puts me off reading it even.
Any chance of retiring this one and starting a new one correctly titled Glamorgan CCC ?
I'll second that.Quote:

Interesting to see Sussex top. They had two big wins at the weekend, including one at the Oval. At the other end of the table, Middlesex are off the mark after chasing down 173 at Canterbury.
We've got two games this week. Hampshire at home on Thursday followed by a trip to Taunton on Sunday. Somerset made 241-5 there yesterday off a Hampshire attack of Neser, Wood, Turner, Dawson, Howell and Fuller which is slightly concerning. Is the transfer window still open?

James Harris comes in too, for the injured Podmore. 6.30 kick off, weather permitting.
Assume you mean Slogfest?Quote:

Be surprised if any play.
It's pretty much stopped for now and I'm sure they'll want to get something played if they can but I'd be surprised too.Quote:

Given we were going to be missing Crane, I'd say this was a case where an abandonment was to Glamorgan's advantage - playing wise anyway.
Still in a decent position after this weeks games. 1 point off Essex and Hampshire who occupy 5th and 6th place, but with a game in hand over them. Would be nice to see us turn Somerset over down in Taunton.
As for 'Glammy' , I really don't see the issue. With a long name like Glamorgan it's always to be shortened to something.
Decent start by Glammy/Glamorgan County Cricket club
Somerset 39/1 after 5. Would be nice to get smeed soon
Does Byrom deserve a place? What does he offer?
Another dismal effort. Only 5 times in 21 years have Glam got out of the group. They have never reached the final.
Very poor. Strong position with them at 123-7 and we just seem to have given up from there.
Will Smeed outscored the whole of the Glamorgan XI
That's an absolute spanking.
A really strange game. Pitch looked flat but both neither sides batters looked comfortable. Smeed had a good score, but it was mostly comprised of mistimed hacks and edges. Shades of the Surrey game in that a dominant bowling performance by us still ended up with the opposition scoring nearly 200. We're just not closing innings out, also demonstrated in the Essex game. I certainly wouldn't rule us out of contention, I think we could just as easily click and win 3 in a row as get battered for our next 3. If we beat Gloucester on Thursday we are right back in the mix
That’s total humiliation to lose a T20 match by over 100 runs!
I think that's about right. Middlesex are probably out of it but everyone else will feel they've got a chance, including us. A hammering today but it wasn't a game we were expecting anything out of and we're still only one point off the last play-off place. The bowling isn't great but we've had every side in trouble at some point. The batting hasn't quite clicked yet but today was our fIrst score under 166. I'm not overly confident but it could still go either way from here, like you say.Quote:

He's been playing for the seconds recently, even captained them once last week, but didn't bowl in two recent T20 games (even though Billy Root did). It seems the policy is to play part-time spinners who can bat which, to be fair, makes more sense to me than playing an opener who can't score but it's still debatable. Sisodiya isn't playing in the current 2nd XI game which finishes on Thursday, when we play Gloucestershire, so maybe he's back in the first team squad?Quote:

It’s strange, but slow left armers can suffer from a version of golf’s yips. The most famous example I can think of is Phil Edmonds who played plenty of test cricket for England yet for a time on a tour of India I think it was, had to abandon his run up to the crease and bowl from a standing start so to speak because it was the only way he could release the ball. Edmonds was back to bowling normally pretty quickly, but this was towards the end of his career and, from memory, he was never quite the same player. I’m probably adding two and two and making five here and Sisodiya has some sort of injury that is preventing him bowling, but it seems very odd what’s happening currently - Sisodiya has made little impact in the longer version of the game so far, but he’s been pretty good for us in the shorter stuff.Quote:

No chance to come on as a sub and make an impression either in cricket. The 2nd XI stuff seems to be quite a way from the standard at first team level (similar to u-21 games in football) so if your face doesn't fit for some reason it must be hard to make progress. Especially when loyalty gets shown to players out of touch, as has happened to Byrom lately.
A heavy defeat like Sunday's seems the best chance for the fringe players. Surely Byrom's time is up for now. Will Smale scored some quick runs again today in the second team's win, I'd expect him to start tomorrow. Podmore added four more wickets to his 65 not out, maybe he'll come in for Gorvin? Details of the 2nd's win here.

I think there’s a degree of Bazball thinking going on with Byrom, I’m guessing he’s been told that there won’t be consequences for him if he gets out auickly in T20 cricket, but there comes a time when it becomes counter productive and we seem to have reached it now. Podmore’s been a very poor signing up to now, but I think I’d give him a try now.Quote:
