A miserable day in Leeds for both the man’s and women’s Welsh Fire sides.
Welsh Fire women with possibly the worst run chase I’ve ever seen - in command all the way through, yet they were completely unable to up their run rate ever so slightly to complete the win despite having plenty of wickets in hand.
Pathetic. What can the men do?
meaningless, money making, plastic comp with nothing Welsh about it.
London on their way to a big score in the men's game. Gonna be a tough chase.

Whether you can warm to it or not, the ground was busting at the seems (relatively) and almost witnessed an incredible end. It was superb entertainment. IÂ’m a huge county cricket fan and want success for Glammy but thereÂ’s obviously a product here that spectators want to see. Maybe itÂ’s like Welsh rugby, fans will turn out for 3 or 4 games a year if they think itÂ’s an event?Quote:

Partly the gimmicky nature of it and probably as much to do with the lack of glammy involvement in the Welsh side. But I’ve told (made) myself to give it a go this summer - even if it is just for Ben kellaway’s sake - but after 2 games I am struggling with it!!Quote:

Glammy not complaining though, off to a flyer. 36-0 off the first 3 overs.
And then in his next over - after bowling another wide - he gets Byrom. Typical.
good catch thoughQuote:

He's on 35 at the moment including 26 wides so far.Quote:

Hard luck for Glamorgan, not sure the circumstances of the way surreys d/l total was set, but when you have 150 odd more than the other side, who are 5 down, I think you can feel hard done by to lose!
Just caught a bit of the Welsh fire. Who is managing them? Just watched absolute joke players like wells,zaib and abell come out and mess around while a genuinely decent player in Walter comes out at 8. More to the point, how are the likes of Carlson not there ahead the dogsh*te players like zaib and wells. A 'welsh' team that seem to hold Glamorgan and it's players in contempt.
Very unlucky today. The revised Surrey target was very kind on them.
Agree about Carlson. Welsh Fire should have included him in their squad.
Can’t quite believe that result. Poor bowling performance post rain delay but still, there is simply no way in my opinion Surrey win that if they had 50 overs.
Pony and trap v Gloucs.
Carlson's just gone from 49 into the 50s with a reverse sweep for 6. Big chase but we're having a good go!
What a thoroughly miserable defence of their crown! And don’t even mention the Welsh fire….desperate for the return of 4 day cricket.
Embarrassing the size of that defeat in a 50 over game!
1 win in 16 games combined.Quote:

I was hoping Eddie Byrom would use the competition to force his way back in to the four-day team, as I'm still not sure on ul Hassan as an opener. But he's been very inconsistent.
Only bright spot for me would be Franco who, despite not having many wickets, has clearly benefitted from the exposure and bowled well yesterday.
Thread here as a temporary measure. Deleting some old threads. Didn't want to remove by mistake
sadly a depressing read right now, like picking the scabs off an old wound. :frown:Quote:

Must have been our fifty over form that persuaded them to give him as long as three years :hehe: Good decision,, he’s got to be given credit for the emergence of Tribe and Kellaway into good first team players this season and Leonard has come on quite a bit as well.Quote:

Glammy winning wooden spoon in one day cup.
Finally, Welsh Fire pick a Glamorgan player - Kellaway takes 2-10 off 15 balls and they should be on for their first win of the season. Comfortable win for the Women’s team in the afternoon as well.
We’ve clearly missed him in 50 day cup. But sitting out the bashings in the 100 to then come in and play well can only get him a few more column inches I’d have thought.Quote:

Norton looked interesting, good figures and claimed some notable wickets. Great in the field too.Quote:

Just saw the squad list for a second eleven game tomorrow and the name Roman Walker appears on it. I take it Leicestershire are going to release him and Glamorgan are giving him a trial? I was really disappointed when he left us because he seemed such a good prospect in his early days with us, but it's not really worked out for him at Leicestershire has it. When you look at the number of young players involved yesterday and the strides made by the likes of Kellaway, Tribe, Smale and Franco this season, it seems to me that Richard Dawson is a little like BBM in the way he looks to develop youth and so maybe he could get something out of Walker?
Walker didn't get to bowl today, our seconds got 419/3 with Callum Nicholls making 210 not out.Quote:

He's seeing the season out here. There's an article and interview with him on the club site. I haven't watched the interview but the article explains everything and is quite moving to be fair.Quote:
