Missed the Glamorgan innings :facepalm:
Somerset needing more than 2 a ball and we’ve just got Rew out.
just noticed(bit late) its on sky sports now
The weather forecast on the BBC first thing showed most of the rain staying to the south of Nottingham. Given they had the covers on all night, with no rain there was a good chance of a game starting.
Trying to find it on Sky was tricky though.
Getting away from them. Glammy not having much luck either.
Here we go, two sitters missed in one ball.
All on Dan! 1 to go....
None off 2..........
Amazing! I looked at the weather and the chances of completing even a 20 over game seemed very slim
23 off 4, we’ve got a chance.
One more win and we’ll keep the trophy.
Glammy win by 15 runsQuote:

Bloody hell they've done it!
Brilliant.
Archie Vaughan gave it a damn good go for a while, but it always looked like a decent target
Hope Sky show the whole game this afternoon.
It’s started raining pretty hard now apparently and I was surprised that the commentators did not mention that Glamorgan were having to bowl with a wet ball, but Gorvin, McIlroy and Douthwaite kept their nerve.
Great stuff. Dickson was the crucial wicket. A very good win and a trophy!
.
Ironic that we had a pretty poor season in the County Championship and Blast but still win a trophy.
Somerset have had an excellent season and end up.with nothing.
That’s how I always look at things!Quote:

A couple of things.
The Somerset commentator on Five Live said the difference between the two sides was that Glammy played their T20 side and Somerset played their 50 over team. Sour grapes and untrue. That was our 50 over team.. Cooke and Crane would have played if it was our T20 team
A word on Chris Cooke. Our longest standing player and terrific for us in over a decade.He has missed out on both our trophy winning seasons since being at the club.
And not having much to show for his missing out as he barely plays in The 100. There’s always sour grapes in Somerset they are insufferable.Quote:

Definitely sour grapes.
Great win, excellent batting and bowling in the conditions
Glamorgan’s final game of the season is shaping up to be a wash out, play has not started yet on the second scheduled day of their match with Gloucestershire.
An easy question for Glamorgan supporters, which player from the club has been voted into the County Championship team of the season the BBC sports website?

Must be Mr. Northeast.Quote:

The answer is in the link - I knew he was having a good season, but I hadn’t realised how good it was.Quote:

Ingram doesn't seem to have played that often - but obviously he has!Quote:
