Bit of good news
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/39365859
Glamorgan's first pre season match ended on a note that was a throw back to last season and, I fear, a preview of what's to come in the coming months - battling to avoid defeat after a batting collapse. We've spent all winter trying to sign a player in a department where we are relatively strong (seam bowling) and, yet, once again, the real weakness in the side, a brittle and unreliable batting line up, goes unaddressed.

Whilst you could well be right ( and I think you probably are) I see that the wicket was shown as wet & green. Clutching at straws at the pre season stage is never a good sign but with Glamorgan it feels as if it's the only way to cope and the season has yet to start officially.
Another long summer in all probability.
We lost but our captain scored 60

This reminds me so much of just how disheartened I felt when I started supporting the City as a kid in the late 80s. Crowds were shyte and anything remotely resembling talent was sold for a fraction of their true value, meaning we were forever stuck in limbo. We were being raped annually by our owners and other clubs.
To be fair to him, Hammam finally stopped that and gave us the push into the Championship that we so desperately needed. It was also the reason why I couldn't care less about the red kit if it meant we wouldn't return to those soul destroying days.
Sorry to interject - as you were :thumbup:
Marchant de Lange has signed.
Do Glamorgan season ticket holders get the opportunity to buy tickets for the ashes in Australia?
I am going to Melbourne for the boxing day Test and tickets will be at a premium.
Sadly Glamorgan have become a joke team these days.
Nothing at all to get excited about. Shame.
4 bowlers injured

That is ridiculous. I wondered why Hogan,Wagg and Bragg were not involved in the friendlies. I knew Van Der Gugten was injured but this is mad.
Hogan played in one of the pre season matches, so he may have got injured then. A few years back there were stories about how the Glamorgan players were now full time pros who began pre season training in something like November, is that still the case? If it is, then you have to say that it's not doing them much good!
The bowlers like Wagg and Hogan are getting older now, Still think an attack of DeLange, Carey, Podmore and Meschede, could work out ok.
Batting looks a little better of Rudolph, Selman, Lloyd, Ingram, Cooke, Donald, Carlson , Meschede. I'd say spinners miss out today, With Carlson bowling the overs if required, seeing as its April.
I'd like to see to see a competitive season with some progression from the youngsters. I dont expect a promotion year. Like to see some good cricket in the white ball stuff as well.
Glamorgan win toss and bat, spinners miss out, as expected really.
Selman out for a duck 3-1
Lloyd out for a duck 9-2
Rudolph out for 9. 9-3
This isnt looking like a good decision to bat.
22-4. Ingram out.
