There’s no end to our misery in south Wales is there. With the football season petering out, we are left with this garbage.Quote:

My memory failed me again. Had forgotten that was the opening game. From 300+ last year to 1st baller in 2nd innings this year!Quote:

Indeed they have. Credit to them. Well done Carlson.Quote:

Did Ben Kellaway get injured bowling the final over? He only bowled 2 deliveries (well 4 if you include no balls) before Sam Northeast finished the over.
Pathetic performance - credit to Carlson and Gorvin for avoiding the innings defeat Glamorgan deserved, but as for the rest :facepalm:
Not many pluses from that. Although I do think Leicester will probably finish top 2/3 we still shouldn't be losing like that. I suppose if you are going to have a pasting it may aswell be first game, should hopefully put a ticket up the side now.
This falls firmly into rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic territory. But can't understand Cooke batting below kellaway, one of our best batsman behind a kid who has done nothing yet, get him up the order.
More crap from Cardiff based sporting teams as Glamorgan put Gloucestershire in to bat and watch them score 100-1. Im still incredulous at the decision to “rotate” Gorvin, who had the best bowling figures and scored a fifty last week, out of the team for the second game of the season!
It may only be the coaches second game. But as far as I'm concerned dropping Gorvin is a sack the coach moment. Even if the pitch isn't thought to suit his bowling, we could certainly do with his batting ability.
a bit of a slog today
178-1, feels like it’s going to be a long season.
Given the weather forecast, today was always going to be the best day to make hay, which makes the decision to field quite odd.
The forecast for Bristol is dry over the weekend, with the chance of rain on Monday - Glamorgan will struggle to take into account fourth day given their form so far.Quote:

At least the batsman will have a chance to redeem themselves I suppose. Looks like it will be up to them to bat out a draw. Interestingly, the bookies have had us favourites for the last 2 games. Must be a few shrewd punters who have made a killing.
I saw a forecast earlier for Cardiff that said drizzle tomorrow. Looking now, there is but not until 5pm. Assumed it was the same over the Cardiff Channel (I'm renaming it, Trump style 😊)Quote:

Desperately disappointing start to the season. One heavy defeat almost certainly to be followed by another. And the new coach hardly inspiring. Carlson delivered last week - the r3st of the top 6 need to today. Bloody hell, between this rabble and the city……Quote:

Wonder how much batting we’ll do today?Quote:
