Yes , and loads of other occasions , why don’t they just bowl full and straight and mix up the pace ?

Tufnell bowled us out for something like a hundred in the second innings of that that match and I’m fairly sure Middlesex bowled us out for 32 I think it was when we won the title in 97.
I tell a lie, it was 31!

Ramprakash just fell apart mentally.
His introduction I believe was against that fantastic West Indies side.
Massive under achiever. I actually thought he should have been brought back in his mid to late 30s.
Pope I believe averages around 50 , Vince around 40.
So many batsmen have terrible techniques its hardly suprising. Dates back to around the 80s when for some reason some thought the way to go was standing upright like a baseball player.
Yes, I can remember us playing at all of those grounds - I’ve seen us play at the first three of them. We also played a Sunday League match at Pentyrch about thirty years ago and we played Surrey a few years at some village in west Wales, I’d not heard of before or since!
We beat Kent and Middlesex at Cardiff in four matches last season and I seem to remember reading after the first of them that was our first win Cardiff for three years - I may be wrong there, but we haven’t won many in Cardiff in the last decade or so.
Yes. I meant 1st class. Thats the issue. There are few batsmen in 1st class cricket really knocking that door down to be picked.
Ive found myself saying put in Livingstone. But Ive said the same about Buttler , Hales , Roy all these destructive batsmen.
On the flip side then theres the likes of Roy and Sibley with appalling techniques.
The Test side is a complete mess.
Yes it was Northants - here’s a list of the grounds Glamorgan have played at;-

I remember going to Ynysangharad Park to watch Jacques Kallis's debut in the Sunday league. He scored a big 100 and was just hitting the ball out of the park for fun.
I was working on the main scoreboard that day. Had a few beers too many and I had the one Surrey bowler as having bowled 17 overs. I think it was a 50 over game with a max of 10 overs per bowler. By the time they put me on traffic duty to clear the park at the end of the game it was safer for the drivers to work out their exit without my assistance! As a Pontypridd player having Glamorgan use our ground was something super special. Saw Viv score a great ton there against Derby. Pakistan 500 odd for 2 Saheed Anwar and Inzamam getting huge hundreds. 1994 South Africans. Malcolm Marshall skittled Glamorgan and getting back to Southampton for his 4.30 tee off time. Great memories!

Up at Derbyshire today, looks like callus Taylor and Douthwaite drop out the squad. Tom Cullen and Premier Sisodia come in. Hopefully Weighell will get a go again, thought he was quite unlikely to lose his place last match
Cullen in for Taylor. Attempt to strengthen the batting evidently, Cullen has been in decent form in the 2nds so hopefully he will get a few.
Derbyshire opener Shan Masood has over 600 runs already this season, not a bad start

Great caught and bowled by Hogan to remove Masood for sixty - Hogan was superb in the first session where Glamorgan deserved more than the one wicket.
Derbyshire currently 117-2.
Good result getting masood for 60, let's hope we can chip away at the rest now
Three quick wickets right at the end of the day helped Glamorgan back into a game which looked like getting away from them, but we need to get the last five wickets pretty quickly and then show a lot more application with the bat than we did last time out if we’re to avoid defeat against a team that has had a big boost in confidence from their new coaching appointment.
