Will the declaration come if Cooke gets a double century.
What happened at Chelmsford? Essex win by an innings and some after being dismissed for 170. 😱
672-6 declared, Glamorgan’s third highest score, with Cooke 205 not out.
Northants were bowled out for 81 and 45 in that match with Essex.
Brilliant innings. A double century, a century and a couple of 50s from our batsmen. A lot of very low scores around the country so this must a cracker of a wicket for batsmen. Let's see how our bowlers get on.
Good to see the batsmen in the runs. Looks like an odds in draw though.
Think Essex would easily be challenging for the title had they not had their blip right at the start of the season.
Got to the Oval in time to catch Cooke reaching 205, great achievement. Been a good couple of days for our beleaguered batsmen (or batters!). See how our spinners get on as the deck hasn’t been offering much for seam, which is a little bit of a shame as I wouldn’t have begrudged Rikki Clarke getting a wicket on his final game.
Looked like Cooke missed a stumping in the two overs Salter bowled, but it’s looking a very flat pitch and it’s hard to imagine Surrey losing twenty wickets in two days. Glamorgan may get to bat again and, maybe besides Clarke getting his wicket, Carlson can get the sixty odd he needs to complete a thousand runs for the season.
Surrey 185-1 - I'm jumping the gun a bit here and may end up looking stupid, but if counties can be docked points for preparing bowler friendly pitches, why can't the same apply to batting? We're getting towards the half way point of the third day and so far seven wickets have fallen.
TOBW: think Cooke did miss a stumping chance late doors yesterday but hard to be too hard on him given the length of his knock in what was essentially a full on summer day’s conditions.
Agreed re: pitch prep too. I’d personally take bowler friendly wickets as bar the PBs for some batters and enjoying the weather whilst being there this has been a bit of a non-contest.
Not gotten to catch much today but watching the last overs now and seems to have gone as predicted. Didn’t realise Byrom dabbled with any bowling till a wicket notification came through earlier!
It was 336-2 last time I looked, so I don’t think Cooke’s missed stumping made much difference.
Agree entirely about bowler friendly conditions because it often results in a good, close game, whereas long form cricket would die as a spectator sport if it was always played on pitches like this one.
Amla dropped off a bit of a gimme at slip.
In a mirror opposite of this match Lancs beat Hants by one run at Liverpool. Think the championship is their’s now unless Warks beat Somerset.
Just been watching the finish of the Lancashire match, tremendous stuff.
SomerSet have had their fill of batting disasters lately, but a draw has to be favourite.
As a Surrey member this is some tedious cricket, but nowhere near as bad as a game in 2017 against Hampshire where Rory Burns spent all 4 days bar 20 minutes or so on the field
what the hell is about this wicket at the Oval? Pretty dire to watch and a total non event.
If I was Surrey now I’d declare. I say that thinking about this infamous game in the early nineties when we were scored 562-3 and then were bowled out for around a hundred in losing by ten wickets

The way Glamorgan have been batting, there might be a bit of a panic if we were to lose a few early wickets.
I’m sure Surrey will just keep on batting though.
551/2 at lunch, you're probably right about Glammy hashing it up if they batted again.
Only declaration that would happen for us would be if we somehow had a lead of 150 or so before tea and having a wild stab at it.
Can't see anything other than handshakes
Carlson and Chris Cooke taking the new ball, Hogan keeping wicket in short sleeves
I love county cricket
11 bowlers used by Glamorgan - you dont see that very often. If this was a 3 day game there would have been some debatable part time bowling and a contrived run chase. Those were the days.
4 full days play with (I think) no rain breaks and only 10 wickets! That's a very flat pitch.
The game turned out to be the equivalent of a team being bowled out for 1300 with four wickets falling on the “hard” first batting day and two each on the following days - Surrey should be giving any members who attended all four days a refund.
Does Ollie Pope’s knock make him any more likely to be in England’s team for the First Ashes test? It shouldn’t, because that wasn’t a worthwhile cricket match.
I don't see anyone else jumping up to beat him to a spot at #5. For what it's worth, I think a lot of our younger players like him, Crawley, Lawrence will fare better in Australian conditions
If Ben Stokes comes back in at 6 then I can only see room for one of those 3 to play at number 5. As it stands I think Pope is the best equipped of those to fulfill that role.
The idea of Stokes travelling to Australia seem as remote as ever, don't think we'll be seeing him in England shirt until the home summer next year at the earliest
Poor players don't hit two hundred and sixty odd in a test innings, so I'd say Crawley definitely has something and his test career is far from over in my view, but I think it would be an admission of defeat in a way to pick him for the Ashes tour with him not really having scored the volume of runs for Kent since being dropped from the test team to demand a recall. I'm not as convinced by Lawrence, but he seems to have the character to succeed as an international player. I agree that Pope is the one of the three best suited at the moment to be included. Although it seems daft to ignore a score of 274 when considering someone for a test place, I definitely would do so in this case - everyone knew Ollie Pope's record at the Oval was very good before this innings,, but there've been times this year in international cricket where he's looked all at sea technically.
Nice to see Kieran Carlson’s good season recognised as one of five county players of the season, with Matt Critchley, who’s been strongly linked with Glamorgan, also featuring;-
