Can't see us winning this one.
Poor with bat and ball. Really plumbing the depths today.
Got to give it to Gloucester mind, they very rarely have many stars. But they always have a good aggressive plan, play to the plan and do the basics well. They always seem like a team where everyone knows their role and what they need to do. Amazing how far that and a bit of confidence can get you.
I'm not sure if I'd be getting rid of Bradburn myself. We've been more aggressive this year than we have in the past and there have been some green shoots. The dropped catches and mind fades need to be laid at the door of the players rather than the coach in my opinion.
some of the players are way off the mark and the bowlers in particular leak too many runs.Quote:

I'm not sure why Kent v Glamorgan is getting televised on Tuesday but let's hope we up our game for that.
probably because its the only t20 on the dayQuote:

Very good news, despite Northeast’s big innings, he’d be my Glamorgan player of the year so far.Quote:

It’s a very strong batting line up but failing time and again.Quote:

Great batting performance today. 145/6 off 13 in a shortened game. Watch us get 2 huge wins now , and finish 2 points off the top 4 🤣

Glamorgan 185-1 after15 overs against Somerset, Carlson 120 not out off 55 balls!
Great innings.
Always on the cards though wasn't it! I think a lot of the team will feel tonight what slipped away. We had the team this year to really have a go at this tournament. Qualification has literally slipped through our hands with every simple catch put down.
To me this isn't enjoyable cricket...it's just who can slog hardest on the day.
The term wildly inconsistent could have been invented for Glamorgan’s T20 season and I wouldn’t yet rule out our bowlers proving this again when Somerset bat :hehe:Quote:

A few of our T20 records went tonight. Highest team score, Carlson's was the highest individual score and Labuschagne (in his last game of the season for us) finished with the best bowling figures. Biggest win margin too.
Great performance and a good crowd there to see it. Not a bad evening all in all.
watched on you tube and very good, a good team win and great for confidence.
A terrific performance but too little too late. There were enough batsmen capable of getting this team through to the knock out stages but they simply weren't consistent enough.
Yes there were a few kamikaze knocks this season. What might have been…Quote:

Have Glamorgan ever given a better T20 performance in the twenty one years of the competition’s existence than last night? It was so complete that I’m going to say no. Somerset finished third in the group and second placed Sussex were well beaten twice, but the reason Glamorgan didn’t qualify was there for all to see in their games against the other two teams that went through. They were thrashed in their away games with Surrey and Hampshire in embarrassing style (if last night was Glamorgan’s best ever T20 win, then their loss at Bristol has to be a serious candidate for their worst).
Worse still though in many ways were the defeats in Cardiff to Surrey and Gloucestershire with what had been a good all round display against the former ruined by a standard of catching that a school team would be disappointed with, while the latter has to be the biggest giveaway in our T20 history as the catching again fell apart and this time there was also awful death bowling to help what had been an outplayed visiting side to victory.
I suppose what you have to do from such a fluctuating season is concentrate on the times when Glamorgan were, very, good and try to change attitudes where the team failed to cope with the pressure of a tight finish - an improvement there, together with losing the tendency towards a batting collapse would certainly make qualification possible in 2025.
I’m not sure about run rate but that last ball v Gloucestershire at home may have been the difference?Quote:

The problem was that Gloucestershire thrashed us in Bristol, I think we may have lost by a bigger margin than we won by last night.
A bit off topic, like Welsh Fire, but just seen this:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/ar...cb-name-change
The England and Wales Cricket Board is pushing ahead with proposals to switch the Hundred to a Twenty20 format, but plans to keep the competition’s name. The Observer has learned that a return to traditional six-ball overs is on the cards when the next television rights cycle begins in 2029, although the Hundred title and branding will remain.
:shrug:
wait until they come up with a mixed competition, played with tennis balls and with cookery and dancing lessons half time. the world's gone nuts. if it ain't broke why fix it or mess around with it. the hundred sucks!
Great news!! About time . To say I'm pleased with franchise cricket would be an overstatement, but I can put up with it and see why it was needed/wanted. It was that moronic 100 ball format that was the real issue for me. Good riddance to 100 balls, sets and that nonsense.Quote:

Saying that, we'd have found a way of losing to our 2nd XI if they'd been in our group. That kind of season. Some very good wins in there though, last night was superb.
there was a good piece on the hundred yesterday morning before the test started with michael atherton kate cross and a journalist , sounds like its being sold off and restructured:thumbup:Quote:

Asa Tribe is a name I've become aware of this season, be interesting to see how he goes in the One Day Cup. For some reason I wasn't expecting him to look like an American computer nerd but if he can play that's no problem. Sounded like a good knock today.
I like the description. Did take me by surprise aswell. If he does do well I wonder if we might end up in the situation where we are actually losing our a batsman or 2 to other counties. Got some good depth already with the likes of billy root sitting in reserve.Quote:

The One Day Cup starts for us tomorrow with a home game against Gloucestershire. No Crane, Cooke, Ingram, Labuschagne, Northeast or Harris for us but it'll be a great chance for our young batters to show what they can do. Maybe Ben Morris too. He can name every flag in the world, apparently, which is pretty impressive although probably not the key attribute he'll need if bowling at Bancroft, Bracey and Taylor.
Weather looks ok, maybe some rain but they should get a result. Hopefully we'll win with Gorvin straight driving Josh Shaw for 6 off the last ball. If God is in the area tomorrow that should be a no-brainer for him.

Frustrating rain delays today, the most recent just as the players were due to come out for a 1.00 start, but it's due to clear soon. We're batting first in a reduced overs game. Smale, Bevan, Tribe and Kellaway all play. Pretty much our T20 bowling attack with Kellaway and Bevan as the spin options I assume.
Gloucestershire chasing 188 off 33 overs. The pitch must have eased a bit because it looked like they’d struggle to reach a hundred when I was watching- hoping it’s not one of those games that’s more or less decided by the toss.
Good sixty odd not out by Kellaway.
A win for the Welsh Fire women in their first game - beat whatever the Manchester team is called by seven wickets.
