    Very.
    However, we are Glamorgan and if we had 100 overs we'd still make a game of it!

    A thumping win and much needed runs for Carlson

    Re: GLAMMY

    As mentioned above, a very important toss to win.

    Anyone watching the Welsh Fire in the Hundred? It’s pretty embarrassing at the moment - Hogan’s bowling well for the other lot.

    What a farcical run out

    What an absolute joke of a side. Really poor advert for cricket on the TV!

    Apart from Duckett, who’s just been dismissed, it’s been woeful.

    They’re getting paid serious money (by cricket standards anyway) - they should be ashamed of themselves.

    Duckett was only batsman who made runs last year …..

    The whole thing is embarrassing. It would be more honest to call them Franchise Side A, Franchise Side B... etc. There will be a bit of wham-bham excitement in a few matches, but mostly manufactured.

    There is hardly any connection with 'home' support (other than a home ground somewhere within the catchment area) and impossible to identify with or care about the team that is supposed to represent us.

    I tried to get into it a bit in the first year but failed, and this time around haven't even got to that level. 'We' haven't even got Johnny Bairstow to run riot this time.

    Re: GLAMMY

    With Bairstow pulling out and this being the first game, it's hardly been the best of starts for this year's tournament.
    (and I'm not too disappointed tbh)

    Just what I was thinking - they paid a fortune for Clarke who blocked three and then was out off the fourth. Even if the bowlers manage to pull off a miracle, it’s been such a poor batting performance by the so called specialists.

    Re: GLAMMY

    Unlucky for hogan to only get 10 balls I thought, he bowled really well. Certainly a better option than Jordan or stoinis

  15. #4290

    Re: GLAMMY

    107 runs ….just over a run a ball ….Hogan you turncoat 1 for 7 off 10 balls

    Re: GLAMMY

    To be honest, although I was supporting the side with Welsh in their name, I identified most with the Glamorgan player on the field. Wales have got a mediocre side made up of mercenaries representing them and I think they need at least one Glamorgan player in there, or someone like Welsh born Phil Salt, to give them some sort of Welsh identity.

    Never realised Salt was Welsh, Glammy sign him up !

    Re: GLAMMY

    I thought I'd give the Hundred a look tonight. Wish I hadn't bothered!

    I've said before that cricket is saturated with different forms of the game to its detriment but I'd like to know how you would go about supporting one of these teams.

    I probably should be cheering for the Welsh Fire but I don't feel anything. I also don't feel like it means one iota to the players either.

    If you are not cheering for a team or person in any sport, I do not see the point.
    The Twenty20 form of the game I have kind of warmed to but this form, 20 balls fewer is not my idea of a night's entertainment.

    By the way, what a shocking effort by the Welsh Fire 🔥

    Someone said earlier that the T20 is the Hundred plus 20% VAT. Myself I'd rather have the extra and pay a bit more.

    The branding and marketing people should have been brought in to advise on how to relaunch/rejig the t20 comp.

    Unfortunately the branding and marketing people were given free reign to design the entire tournament, with seemingly no real oversight. I think the result is a bit of an abomination that antagonises a lot of existing/casual fans while failing to entice new fans any more effectively than a well advertised t20 competition can.

    They just need to scrub this abomination and concentrate on T20, keeping the traditional counties.

    Re: GLAMMY

    Switched off after about twenty mins, already looked over as a contest. Nice to see Hogan take a wicket at least.

    Fully agree. I'm not completely opposed to new franchise comps, love the ipl and the big bash. But everything about this tournament just seems tacky and poorly thought out.
