Sky showed Labuschagne's catch during their coverage of Hampshire v Sussex the next night. The commentators were saying it was extraordinary. Charles Dagnall followed it up by saying it was a great game of cricket (which it was, to be fair) but Nick Knight over-egged the pudding a bit by saying Shaw hitting the last ball for six was 'brilliant'. Not the adjective I'd have used but having seen City's wins over Ipswich and Southampton this year I guess I was owed a nightmare finish like that.Quote:

Kids go free today (adults half price). I'm not sure what Maurice would make of it being called the Glam Fam day but there you go.

Promising start. I’ll take anything right now.
strange they opted to bat first

390 for 8 lead by 111 at close of play
Good, consistent days batting by Glamorgan against a very inexperienced attack on a pitch that is still doing a bit. As someone who is always criticising the pitches at Cardiff, I’ve got to say that, despite the disappointing outcome, the Middlesex pitch was a very good one, we’ll need a big lead if this wicket is like the one for the last four day match played here.
Huge credit to van Der gugten. Been really injury hit over the last few years, to the extent I wondered if he'd be any use when he did come back. But he seems to have actually really improved his game. I think his batting is good enough for him to be considered a genuine all rounder and his bowling is better than ever. Just hope he manages to stay fit for a stretch now.
My youngest (who's got no interest in cricket) randomly met up with him once as part of a group in a pub, he was impressed. Said he came across as a really good bloke. A few years ago now but he still remembers him.Quote:

Van Der Gugten’s been playing for us for eight years and I’d say he’s a strong contender to be our best signing in that time. His batting has come on a lot in recent seasons, but I’d say he’s a place too high at seven.
By contrast, Gorvin, who was originally selected as an all rounder by Glamorgan is batting at eleven in this game- Northants may have looked at our team for this game and thought our tail starts at seven, but you could say that there aren’t many better number elevens in county cricket than Gorvin.
As he is provingQuote:

Crane took two wickets in two balls before Northants cleared the deficit, but they were able to reach 235-4 by the close.
i missed who and where, somebody just hit 43 off an over it was 8 balls
Louis Kimber of Leicestershire did it to Sussex and England’s Ollie Robinson.Quote:

Credit to Northants. They could have batted on.Quote:
