Losing’s better than drawing in cricket’s brave new world Hamish- no, I can’t understand it either. The 17 wickets at Cheltenham was only the fourth highest of the day.Quote:

197 all out, so a small lead for Glamorgan, but it’s all gone wrong for them since then - Gloucestershire going at nearly five an over at 148-2.
Meanwhile, I’ve watched the seconds play Warwickshire in a T20 game on You Tube and the affliction which we’ve seen this season in this form of cricket isn’t limited to the first team. Chasing 184, Glamorgan we’re going at ten an over at 130 odd for one when they began to stumble, still, they only needed six off the last over with just four wickets down and yet they managed to cock it up as they got three :facepalm:

just the 593 needed to win another game chucked away
If Northeast can reproduce his Lord's knock we might sniff victory 😉Quote:

453 - 6 at Tea
140 more runs to win. Just 4 wickets left. And one session.
Northeast still in (on 147)
Time to grab draw/loss from the jaws of victory, or a win from the jaws of a loss/draw?
Can't see many runs coming from 10 and 11 so I think we've got to rely on TVDG and Mason Crane, together with Sam Northeast to get us home. Still a long way to go though.
If Northeast brings us home I will take back everything I've ever said about him. And I will personally start building the statue!!
Gloucester been told they can't bowl the quickies because of the light so that buggers up the chance of winning I'd say. Two slow bowlers on. If somehow we get close, they can bring on the quickies and off they'll go for bad light.. One hell of a chase though
66 to win, nervous times.
36 but North East gone.
It's going to end in tears.
32 to win, but only one wicket left.
8 to win, 12 balls left, one wicket left.
Hmmmm.
One needed off the last ball.

Blimey. An incredible game. Well done Glammy. A fantastic effort.
What a catch from Bracey without his keeping glove on. But as Bob said why they didn’t take the single earlier in the over was a massive miscalculation.
Can’t remember Glamorgan tying a game before - an incredible match, but it doesn’t do either side any good really.
Bloody hell. What a match. Combined scores of 376 in the 1st innings and 1,202 in the 2nd.
I thought it was over Bracey's head. Stunning catch.Agree Crane should have taken the single but he batted well.
Nick Webb really was very low key about this potentially being a world best run chase.
Wow. Don’t know how to feel about that. Is it like scoring a 95th minute equaliser or conceding one……..
