I didn't know that about Scott Currie, by the way. That's brutal.
After Bangladesh withdrew, many thought Jersey would replace them as they finished next in the qualifying group. Whether Asa Tribe would've played or not, given his England call-ups, Im not sure, but because of Scotland's higher ranking, they got the place instead.Quote:

Encouraging start. Saw them home despite wickets falling regularly at the other end.Quote:

I assume Jersey players are part time so they'd have struggled to go to the World Cup at short notice anyway, I'd have thought. Unless they all had very lenient bosses in their day jobs.Quote:

England’s “much vaunted” batting struggling again. It was Phil Salt playing the lone hand this time while everyone else found ways to fail. Josh Buttler played the worst innings I’ve seen from him in international cricket, there’s been a daft run out and Brook was again out blocking .
Jacks is now playing a few shots as he tries to rescue England again, but five games in, they are still limping through this tournament.
Jacks is carrying England for now. They've ended up in a group with all the second placed teams and should progress but the semi will be tough, whoever they get. You never know with T20 though.Quote:

Aussie fast bowler Sam Elliott being heavily linked with Glammy - currently having an excellent season in the Sheffield Shield. Would be available for our first six red-ball games, too.
I vaguely remember his father, Matthew Elliott, being a very decent opening batter for us in our last promotion season. Seemed to struggle a lot with injuries though.
Interesting, looks like he's got some ability with the bat as well.Quote:

Brook playing the lone hand this time for England with an unbeaten 45 out of 58-4 as they chase 165 against Pakistani.
I critiicise Brook a lot, but he’s a special, special talent and his hundred today has taken England to the brink of victory and the Semi Finals - Jacks has also stood up to be counted again.
Trief their best to lose it, but England win by two wickets.
England Lions chased down 152 to win their first one day match against the Pakistan Shaheens earlier today. They got 154-1 in 24.2 overs with Asa Tribe (who opened) getting 52 not out.
The Lions game in the UAE was called off today and with the chaos in the region it's hard to imagine they'll play again. Hopefully they can make their way home safely as soon as possible.
Tribe and Kellaway both confirmed for the Welsh Fire (Tribe went for 70k and Kellaway for 37.5k for anyone who cares).
Mason Crane will also play for London Spirit (31k) having been with the Fire for the previous editions.
In general, hard to say it it was a successful auction for the Fire. Jordan Cox was definitely a coup as 5 other teams were in for him, and I'm sure Joe Root will be excited to finally spend a summer in Cardiff with his brother. I do think they did their best business in the pre-auction though.
I think they are probably a quick bowler light.Quote:

However with Chris Woakes being part of the squad they could be in trouble if he breaks down. Particularly after the halfway stage when they cannot get a replacement.
Their top 5 or 6 batting look pretty formidable though,and if AsaTribe and Kellaway continue their development they will have strong batting reserves as well.
Matthew Short of course!Quote:

He still ended up having a good career though. Presumably he wasn't offered a new deal with Glammy.Quote:

As you say, that’s the positive spin……..Quote:

36 wickets in 15 first class matches (according to CricInfo). Average of 37.69 which isn't much to write home about, although Glammy reckon he'll be well-suited to the Sophia Gardens pitch.Quote:

The Guardian’s season preview has Glamorgan finishing eighth out of ten, a position I’d gladly take.

Earliest ever start to the County Championship season apparentlyQuote:

Might finally be getting a start at Sophia Gardens where, of course, Glamorgan have lost the toss and been put into bat in dank, murky conditions.
