I was never confident. I have always rated Cooke but didn't understand why he really went for it when he had taken 12 off the over and the run required was at 8.Quote:

Quite a knock this. The fastest double hundred (balls faced) in Championship history, knocking Aneurin Donald off top spot. Donald also drops out of the top three fastest in all first-class cricket. Ollie Robinson has knocked Malcolm Nash out of the top three for the most expensive over bowled in the County Championship (after 56 years).Quote:

No Colin Ingram again for the coming game in Cheltenham. We are told to believe he is rested for a second successive week...
the neighbours around the ground will be happy :hehe:Quote:

Just checked the score. What a morning!
Very annoying last wicket stand well underway….

Glam unraveling again. They seem to completely lose their composure when things go the other way.
179 all out. Great bowling performance, but frustrating to 88-8 turn into 179. Hopefully we put up 400+ and make those last 2 partnerships for them meaningless
75 for last wicket off 12 overs. So frustrating…
At 104-9 genuinely thought it could only be a positive day. Bloody hell!
We’re not very good are we.
that's an understatement.Quote:

Shame to see Carlson get out, with him and timm there was still the outside chance of a decent lead. Need our tail to wag like Gloucester's did
I know I’m a cricketing dinosaur, but looking at the scores today do any of these sides know how to knuckle down and see off the new ball? 17 wickets on day 1 of the Glamorgan game seems a high number but three other games are into their third innings already. I suppose they are coming out of a 20.20 campaign but every side needs a Chris Tavares at some point.
Losing’s better than drawing in cricket’s brave new world Hamish- no, I can’t understand it either. The 17 wickets at Cheltenham was only the fourth highest of the day.Quote:

197 all out, so a small lead for Glamorgan, but it’s all gone wrong for them since then - Gloucestershire going at nearly five an over at 148-2.
Meanwhile, I’ve watched the seconds play Warwickshire in a T20 game on You Tube and the affliction which we’ve seen this season in this form of cricket isn’t limited to the first team. Chasing 184, Glamorgan we’re going at ten an over at 130 odd for one when they began to stumble, still, they only needed six off the last over with just four wickets down and yet they managed to cock it up as they got three :facepalm:

just the 593 needed to win another game chucked away
If Northeast can reproduce his Lord's knock we might sniff victory 😉Quote:

453 - 6 at Tea
140 more runs to win. Just 4 wickets left. And one session.
Northeast still in (on 147)
Time to grab draw/loss from the jaws of victory, or a win from the jaws of a loss/draw?
Can't see many runs coming from 10 and 11 so I think we've got to rely on TVDG and Mason Crane, together with Sam Northeast to get us home. Still a long way to go though.
If Northeast brings us home I will take back everything I've ever said about him. And I will personally start building the statue!!
Gloucester been told they can't bowl the quickies because of the light so that buggers up the chance of winning I'd say. Two slow bowlers on. If somehow we get close, they can bring on the quickies and off they'll go for bad light.. One hell of a chase though
66 to win, nervous times.
36 but North East gone.
It's going to end in tears.
32 to win, but only one wicket left.
8 to win, 12 balls left, one wicket left.
Hmmmm.
One needed off the last ball.
Match tiedQuote:

A tie. You can’t criticise an innings like that, but Glamorgan played a useless last over - they only needed two off the last over and Crane turned down an obvious single off the third ball.
Blimey. An incredible game. Well done Glammy. A fantastic effort.
