48-6, three wickets for Leonard, two for Gorvin.
Glamorgan 34-0 off 3 overs chasing Kent’s 118-9. Four wickets each for Gorvin and Leonard which means the latter has nine in two games.
easy win that
Glamorgan win by 6 wickets with 50 balls to spare doing their run rate a lot of good in the process. Asa Tribe comes in to face three balls and hit the winning four - was it worth it?
That was a thumping win. The encouraging aspect is the number of young players contributing. Leonard, Tribe, Kellaway, Horton and Smale all young.
Net run rate will have been boosted today.
Got to give Richard Dawson praise and, hopefully, a permanent contract as coach - looks to me as if he’s improved a few of our players.Quote:

England all out for 271 in the 69th over to lose by 336 runs. I’m probably being an old fuddy duddy here, but I think that’s pathetic given the situation they were in going into the game’s fourth innings. England need to be reminded of all the league titles that have been won by one point.
Very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Great win, top 2 and a home quarter final very much a possibility!
Great to see. And we finally have our 2 wins in a row. Looking good.Quote:

I was thinking of the best overseas 11 that have played for Glamorgan. Can anyone better this side?
Matthew Elliott
Mark Cosgrove
Viv Richards
Majid Khan
Javid Miandad
Marnus Labuschagne
Ravi Shastri
Chris Cooke
Dale Steyn
Waqar Younis
Michael Hogan
Roy Fredericks for Cosgrove? Kasprowicz for Hogan?Quote:

First win for Essex, beating Surrey off the last ball after looking like blowing it. Keeps Surrey level on points with us. Essex play Somerset next, hopefully with the confidence from the win they can beat them aswell
Best 11 players or best for Glamorgan?Quote:

Fredericks fair enough. Hogan is a Glammy legend in my eyes and has to in there.Quote:

It’s your team, so Hogan it is. Been trying to think of someone who could play wicketkeeper to get Kaliis in the team and I’m sure Majid played the occasional game as one of- sure Marnus would give it a go as well!Quote:

When you think of the amount of analytics and coaching that will be going into him aswell, for him to be still be this useless is quite impressive. Really poor player, not anywhere near county standard let alone test levelQuote:

😆 On current form that's difficult to argue against. So many quality batsman have played for the county. Do you drop Labuschsgne who was phenomenal for us in 2019 and reached the top of the batting world rankings? Gill's form in the last Test was astonishing and he did well for us.Quote:

Just on my way back from Merchant Taylor School after watching Middlesex v Hampshire. Looked like Middlesex were going to do us a favour and beat Hampshire. Hampshire 7 down and needing 32 off the last 13 balls. Unfortunately Noah Cornwell chose that moment to bowl his second above waist full toss of the game, it also went for 4 byes. Captain du Plooy stepped up to bowl the 1 remaining ball and got thumped for 6. Much easier equation of 20 from 2 overs got knocked off quite easily.
Big game for us tomorrow now, need a win to keep us above Hampshire.
If Ben Kellaway played for Surrey or Middlesex et al what's the betting they would be talking about him as all rounder who could play instead of Bashir!Quote:

Glammy been crap tonight v Hants ☹️
Yep back to the bad old days. Poor fielding and bowling. Fielding positions didn't work. Now struggling in reply. This could be a very heavy defeat.
and I'm going to the Oval tomorrow........Quote:
