shows what I know - that is a very sporting declaration I think!
This 'cricket' story is on the front page of The Times of India today. (I was given a free copy on the train before popping to the Taj Mahal this afternoon):
Attachment 3150
Barring a late collapse by Durham, their match with Lancashire is going to end in a draw. This would mean that the only side to get more points than us in this round of fixtures would be Northants, who were bottom before they did us a favour by thrashing Sussex. With three to go up, every side in the division will still think they can be promoted, so, until teams are in a win or bust situation, you aren't going to see many "sporting declarations" because the risk of losing the points you get for a draw is too high.
Therefore, we are at an advantage because we have the points on the board. Given the way the division is shaping up, I think we will probably go up if we can win two of our last five games, but if we get overtaken by a few sides in the coming weeks, the flat pitches being produced for home games will make that task so much harder.
Bad injury news for Glamorgan

Also, a big and very quick hundred by Aneurin Donald for Hampshire today.

Is there some special reason there is no glamorgan game for a whole week? Or have I misread the fixtures,
Interesting, and unexpected, addition to Glamorgan's coaching staff for the upcoming T20 matches.

Glos heading to a win, Derby too. How on earth are Middlesex this bad?
Ladies Wimbledon Final apart, not a great day for sports watching really today, so I'll spend some of it watching Glamorgan's latest four day match against Middlesex who are batting after winning the toss - Middlesex 20-0 and Glamorgan set for a long day in the field if earlier matches at the ground are anything to go by;-

Maybe I was wrong about a long day in the field? Middlesex 35-2 with a couple of wickets for Carey.
Not a good day and getting worse.
Jeez getting much worse at 24/4
Really good performance so far today. Seem to have really lacked intensity yesterday, but nice to see a good partnership and the fight back in the team today. Long way to go and we're still in trouble, but a big partnership from Cooke and Lloyd would be a huge help
148/8. Heading for our first Championship defeat of the season
I take that back 😂😂. Really poor from Glamorgan
This has been the first four day game all season where we've played at something like 2018's miserable standards and, although our record in the 50 over competition wasn't great, we were competitive in that tournament throughout. We've generally had Middlesex's measure in the one day stuff in recent years, but play them in the four day stuff and they always dominate us. None of us would have been expecting a promotion challenge which is going to go into the last month of the campaign back in April, so I'm not going to get too critical about what is happening in our latest match.
It probably won’t make a difference to the end result but yet again Middlesex’s last pair have put on a huge score - another 80 runs. Only 550 runs or so to win then 😄
Talk about bubble bursting. After being unbeaten to this point we have been trounced. But like you i am not going to be negative but write this one off as the bad game and cross fingers. The 2 late flourishes in both Middlesex innings for wickets 7-10 are killers. Got to stop that next game.
Thought we'd turned the corner with our bowlers learning how to kill off the tail in quick time but then again, I'm not going to be too critical..... etc
Some entertaining hitting by the tail today, but it's our first Championship defeat of the season - next up leaders Lancashire at Colwyn Bay in mid August.

Lancs will win the division. The two other promotion places are up for grabs. We have lost our buffer over the chasing pack and with Labuschagne it’s going to be difficult.
Any coverage for tonights T20 vs The Wurzels ?
Dreadful captaincy to bring back De Lange.
Somerset coasting was this. Very disappointing after such a strong start.
Another one tomorrow, Glos. at Cheltenham 2.30pm can`t wait !!
