Second time the last four wickets have fallen really quickly - it's very encouraging that the young players are doing the business with the batting, it's the more experienced players who are the problem.

I think Maynard has stitched the lads up a bit there. Obviously hindsight is a wonderful thing, but I think there were opportunities for Taylor and Douthwaite to start opening up a little bit and play their natural games. Obviously team orders seemed to be block everything.
With the extension , there were just too many overs left in the day for that to really have much chance of happening. If we'd let Douthwaite especially play his natural game, maybe there would have been a chance of a total harder to chase.
Positive to see the young lads standing up and playing good innings though
I suppose Van de gugten and weighell would have a legitimate claim to consider themselves as competent as Taylor. Totally agree with you though In terms of taking a single to leave Hogan with 3 balls to face. I think Taylor looked a bit torn between still batting for time, and the realisation that he was dow to his last partner. A lot of pressure on a young batsman I suppose
Good god. I didn't realise Robinson had a nine for. That's one hell of an effort. Sussex one down early but too much to ask from our bowlers to claw a victory I guess
The number of mistakes Edward Bevan makes on commentary is staggering.
I haven't listened to a Glammy match for years. I was a regular on Sunday afternoon but stopped mainly because of Eddie (call me Edward) Bevan's awful commentary. I started to add up the number of mistakes he made. It was appalling. He must have something on the BBC to have kept him on so long.
Ps I also found him quite rude.
Inevitable comfortable defeat
Looking forward to seeing James Harris, who has joined us on a fortnight's loan, playing for Glamorgan again - not the bowler he was it seems, but I saw him score a very good hundred in a one day game for Middlesex a couple of years ago, so I'd say his batting, which was always good technically, has come on. I'm sure it won't happen, but I think he'd be a good opener for us if he was given a run of games in that position to get used to it.
Encouraging signs of some strength in depth at Glamorgan, the second team followed up their win in their opening four day game at Somerset, by going to Lancashire and beating them by ten wickets today after bowling them out for 64 this afternoon.
Agreed encouraging signs, two wins out of two for the 2nds with some excellent individual performances.
Joe Cooke and Roman Walker have been called up to the first team squad for the game v Northants starting tomorrow.
Sounds promising. Overall a decent start to the season. Just need Selman to start posting some decent scores and the openers sticking around.
Joe Cooke scored a hundred opening for the 2nds, so he possibly may get the nod instead of Selman tomorrow
Glamorgan have lost the toss and been put into bat (for the third time in three matches!) and are currently 9-0.
