Well the approach seems to be working but I agree, I wish they would get on with it, if only because of any weather delays.Quote:

Brilliant Glammy win. What a nail biter. Hadley great performance. Many in the ground yesterday were questioning why he came in as night watchman with more than 8 overs left last evening.
Well well well. A fantastic win. I'm struggling to think of a better win since the glory days of 1997. Ryan Hadley batted for virtually an entire day. What an immense effort from him.
Top stuff and a game to remember.
And if you look at the table before Notts finish we’re 2nd!!Quote:

What a win! Low bonus point game so finishing that off there was very important.
Great stuff,why is Hadley only here for 6 games ?
Great to see. There is a resilience to this squad and the youngsters are all contributing.Quote:

I read something before the season started saying that Glamorgan would need three wins to stand a good chance of staying up - with the spirit and team ethic we’ve shown in all of our games so far, you’d like to think we could do it.
What an effort by Hadley, so pleased he managed to get to his fifty. Well done to Dickson as well who has recovered well from a dodgy start to his Glamorgan career.
Blimey that was an exciting and nervous ending. Well played Glammy!
Highest previous first class score was 15!Quote:

It was clever batting, to play and miss so often that they always thought the seamers would triumph!Quote:

Yes. The Bloop mentioned the fact about the runs and I pointed out the fact about number of balls faced. A few posts above.Quote:

Some surprising names in the England squad to face New Zealand in the three test series.

nice to see bashir done enough to keep his place:hehe:
That’s the one I found most interesting!Quote:

Bashir and smith. How the hell are they both back in! I can only assume with smith that they only wanted to drop 1 - and that 1 is Crawley. But he is so fortunate in my view to keep his place. And of course the replacement opener is from Durham. Just like the new selector.Quote:

He should be in the Lions squad that play South Africa in a batch of games starting next Friday though. We'd lose him for the first group of T20 Blast games if so. Not sure if Kellaway (or anyone else) will make that, the squad should be announced in the next day or so.
By the way, Gay and Tribe should've come up against each other in the T20 World Cup qualifier between Italy and Jersey last year but it got rained off. That's probably not an anecdote that'll get me invited on the Graham Norton show but I'll work on it.
He might have bashed a few runs for Surrey in first couple of games, but having watched the 5 ashes tests, there’s no way I can agree that smith deserves his place. Gay has been in good form - but has not opened. Surprised it wasn’t the other Durham boy who has.Quote:

Crane can't be far off a call-up either I'd have thought, he'd be a big loss too. I think of the Lions as being youngsters but that's not exclusively the case, especially when it comes to spinners. Nathan Sowter went to the UAE in the winter and he's 33.Quote:

Norton Playing
0-2 off 4.5 overs. Ouch!
