not the best of starts 0-2
we need rain or hail already
Decent recovery, fingers crossed.
Superb partnership after such an awful start. I think Carlson and Kellaway are more deserving of England call ups than Tribe imo.Quote:

Tribe might be looking a bit sheepish today as he's in the England Lions squad but Kellaway's been dropped. No other Glamorgan players involved for the first-class games with South Africa, the one-day squad hasn't been announced yet.Quote:

Bit of a collapse against the second new ball, 307-8 with Kellaway out for 139.
Decent 9th wicket stand building. Lots of low scores at Edgbaston this season and a couple at over 500 plus. This looks like a decent score. Our elders in Ingram and Cooke are struggling.Quote:

It's been a very interesting and encouraging season so far - and Carlson obviously doing very well as red ball captain.

Fully agreed. Very enjoyable start to the season.Quote:

It’s unfair to include Norton in the same category after just one full four day game, but, having watched him bat a couple of times, I can fully believe what I heard during the Somerset game that he had been batting at 6 or 7 for the second eleven.
I still think our squad lacks a bit of depth and we could do with an England qualified top order batsman along with a seam bowler, but you look at teams like Yorkshire, Essex, Hampshire and Leicestershire and think we’ve been as good as, if not better than, them this season.
Warwickshire 80-2 in reply to Glamorgan’s 360.
123-6.
Warwickshire coach having a bit of a whine about today’s conditions, but they put us in to bat. Warwickshire’s policy this season seems to be pack their team with seamers (they’ve got six right arm medium fast bowlers in this match) on wickets that do a lot on the first day and have a specialist batsman to bowl a bit of pretty ordinary spin to speed the over rate up at times.
The forecast for tomorrow isn’t much good, but it’s a bit better for Monday. It looks like the conditions could stay pretty bowler friendly and, although there’s only been one over of spin so far, Kellaway got one ball to turn and bounce a lot in that time.

I watched a fair bit of today with my dad and every rain break seemed to be mostly spent with the ground staff sitting on the hover cover for half an hour and spectators sitting in the stands waiting for play to start. It barely rained all day and the stream kept saying 'ground delay' which I thought was pretty apt because it looked like the home team just didn't want to play.Quote:

looks like they are using the rotherham ground staff trying to clear the playing area :hehe:
ul hassan gets a pair:facepalm:
Now 20/3, Ul Hassan, Tribe and Carlson all gone!!
Where is the rain when you want it..........
Kellaway is playing very well in this match. Looks very accomplished.Quote:

This has been another excellent performance. Its likely to be a draw but Glammy have had
the better of a good Warwickshire side.
ul Hassan is justifying his place in side. His bowling has seriously improved. He seems to be bowling quicker.
I think he should drop down to six in the order though. Maybe Ingram should open instead?
It's a tricky one as his scoring rate is probably too slow to be a no6 (when he does score that is). Ben Kellaway could open but he's thriving with having Carlson for company. It's a bit of a dilemma but think we're still a batter short.Quote:

I still think we should be looking to bring an opener in on loan. The problem is that, especially at the standard we’re playing now, there’s not going to be many, if any, players good enough to stand a reasonable chance of coming here and doing well that teams are going to be prepared to loan out. One who I would make an a enquiry about is Ali Orr of Hampshire. He’s still only 25 and was being talked about as an England player of the future when he first broke into the Sussex team a few years ago.Quote:

Maybe Orr has a bit of an attitude problem because it’s hard to understand his lack of games for a failing Hampshire batting line up (he averages35 in the Four Gay game), but Richard Dawson is proving to be a cut above average as a coach and so, perhaps, he could get Orr to start fulfilling his early promises?
Remarkable at the age of 18. Already taken quite a few First Division scalps, aside from the hat-trick of course. I think he bowls what is known as a "heavy ball." He does hurry batsmen.Quote:

Sorry to anyone who cares for my refusal to use the appalling term batter, which should be kept for fish.

I'm disappointed you didn't manage to fit 'bowlman' into your post!Quote:

The moment Poc has been waiting for, the Blast starts this evening. We're at Northants with a home game against Gloucestershire tomorrow.
The squad for tonight's game here. The batting looks a bit light without Tribe but we'll see. Henry Hurle may get a game after a decent knock in the week.

I can think of a number of memorable T20 games. The one that really sticks out was v Kent in 2014. Kent only needed 3 off the final over with 5 or 6 wickets in hand. I turned to my boys and said it was all over but we stayed until the end. Michael Hogan bowled an unplayable final over and took two wickets. Kent scrambled two runs but then suffered a run out off the final ball and the game was tied.Quote:

Solid start. 101 without loss is a good platform. Depends on the target and how many overs are left in the match. If they are chasing, that is a great pace. If they are batting first, they need to push on in the last 10.
Decent effort after being 94-7, hopefully Douthwaite isn't out for too long. Great knock from him. Felt like a game we should've won though.
