I’m convinced that is now stubbornness on part of stokes/mcull. It cannot be ability or performance. The thought of bashir as front line spinner in Australia makes me want to hide behind sofa!!Quote:

Typical glammy - cannot break partnership. Now 76 runs and counting….
Glamorgan trying to find a way to lose this game - a first innings lead of just 81 and they’ve collapsed to 15-3 :facepalm:
Awful start to the second innings as well, 15/3 already. A draw would have been disappointing yesterday - I'd bite your hand off for one now.
Glamorgan giving the City a real go for worst sports team in the city this year, fair play.
PS - If Fernando doesn't play another match while he's here he can have no complaints. How the hell did he take 17 wickets against England last year?
As with our beloved football team, this lot are incapable of performing for a whole match. It’s just not in them.Quote:

Glamorgan need 4 wickets.
All 4 results possible with half hour to go.
Kellaway on a hat trick now. 7 down!!
8 down with 7 overs left
9 down 5 overs to go.
Derbyshire blocking out and then the batter dances down the track to Kellaway and is stumped by yards!
Match drawn.
Derbyshire 30 runs short of victory.
Glamorgan 1 wicket short of victory.
Kellaway bowled the penultimate ball of the game left handed - best day of his career with seventy odd and then five wickets.
Unless someone did it on their debut, there can’t be too many cases of someone getting career best batting and bowling figures on the same day.
Encouraging to see the inexperienced Kellaway and Leonard among the wickets because we’re looking very light in that department this season.
A much improved display from Glamorgan. Shame we didn't get that last wicket, but a much more encouraging performance.
Agree, much better. Just a shame about those 1st innings runs for derby from 7 down. That’s where we lack top notch bowling. But encouraging nonetheless.Quote:

Using the reciprocal membership to watch a day of Warwickshire v surrey. Nice to see Glamorgan doing well at lunch. Tribe has had a great start to life as an opener. Not an easy job but he seems to having to it very well
271-4 at tea. Tribe out just short of a maiden century for 94. Ingram 55 not out.
Close of play, 389-7 - Kellaway 91 not out.
A 2nd consecutive very positive morning.
498-8 at lunch, Gorvin out just before lunch for 47, Kellaway 142 not out. Colin Ingram’s in the runs again this season, but you could argue that our three best players this season have been the youngsters Tribe and Kellaway with the slightly more experienced Gorvin.
No question.Quote:

Make that 23-5.
Phenomenal performance so far. Really got Kent on the ropes
Any idea at all why gorvin was left out for 2 games - unless under pressure from ECB maybe to play bashir as part of loan agreement? Obviously fernando as overseas I guess has to play?
Kent 156-8 at the close.
I could be completely wrong, but I feel Gorvin might be thought of as a bit of a Cardiff specialist by Glamorgan - I get the feeling that the large majority of his wickets last year came in home matches. The two games he was left out for were at Gloucestershire and Middlesex and then he was back for Derbyshire at home - I’d hope he’s made himself undroppable forsome time with the start he’s made to the season though.Quote:

I don't think it is when you bear in mind this story from nearly fifty years ago which explains why declarations aren't allowed in limited overs cricket.

Definitely an element of that.Quote:

Maybe they thought it was the only way Glamorgan were ever going to get a player selected for an England senior or Lions squad again? Wonder if Kellaway's three career best scores in successive matches and his completely outbowling Bashir against Middlesex even registered with the selectors? I suppose the latter might have because it did happen at Lords.Quote:

Kent 212 all out and 19-0 following on. Think it could be very hard work for Glamorgan if they don’t make a breakthrough with the new ball - hope we don’t regret not including Crane.
I take it from that comment then that he’s fit again?Quote:
