Wonderful stuff. Cracking team spirit and another win. This morning didn't really believe we would win but when glos were 4 down I had an inkling but to see it through was fantastic. At last an overseas player delivering with runs. And how well has hogan bowled in this match. Back to hogan of a few summers ago. Come on glammy!!
"cracking team spirit" is exactly my thoughts.
No superstar overseas player. Everyone playing for the team
Totally agree about the pitch. With the form and confidence the team have at present it would be nice to see a result wicket for the next game. Hopefully Durham can finish off Sussex Tomorrow, then carry their performance into their game with Lancashire next week

Surely Marnus qualifies as a superstar! Best batsman in the country so far this season, and that 80 yesterday was massive in winning us the game. But very true about the whole team playing well, we've had a lot of players putting their hands up when needed this year. Cullen and Douthwaite are the 2 massive surprises for me, they've been fantastic. Would be great to stay top for the rest of the year
Sussex looking on their way to defeat at 160-7.
Come on then glammy. Real test today against a very good side.
Charlie Hemphrey is missing from this game because his wife is expecting a baby, so Owen Morgan moves up to open with Nick Selman - decent start for Glamorgan on 33-0 after being put in to bat.
There's a live stream of the game here if anyone's interested;-

I switched on the England game and saw Bairstow out to the second ball I watched and then Selman went to the first ball I saw as I started watching Glamorgan after lunch - it's been happening to me all season, if you're in the field struggling to make a breakthrough, all you got to do is call me and I'll take a wicket for you in no time!
Glamorgan 183-2.
290-2 Labuschagne 105, Lloyd 66 and looking good for maximum batting points, but is this shaping up to be another Cardiff road like the one we had against Northants?
[QUOTE=jon1959;4983572]I was listening and feeling very happy and comfortable.
I went away to make a mug of tea - and came back to a batting collapse! 295-5 FFS!
Where did that come from?[/QUOT
And then Lloyd out right at the death. Need another 100 from last 4 tomorrow. 450 always a reasonable 1st innings total. Disappointing finish but decent day overall.
Just returned from the game. A thoroughly enjoyable day.
Morgan started the more impressive as Selman was scratching around and playing and missing to Leach. After about an hour Selman got his timing right and played well. Morgan started to get a bit bogged down but overall he should be pleased with how he did.
Labuschagne is a much wristier batsman than I expected. He plays some shots late and is a fine cutter of the ball. Gutted for David Lloyd. He battled well from the off and looked very comfortable. A real shame he didn’t get a century.
D’Oliveira did bowl well so Lloyd needs to give Morgan a chance as on a wearing pitch on day four it will be tricky to bat on. Hopefully we can get to 450 tomorrow. Anything less would be disappointing from 293/2.
Not too bothered about the batting side losing wickets when I'm watching this time - Worcester have lost two wickets in the ten minutes or so I've been looking at the stream and they're 139-4.
Worcester 183-5 at the close of play.
