Glos now 12 for 3
53 for 5 off 11.
Gotta win this one from here shirley!
good start to this years t20 with a win today hope they follow it up on monday
Better start with the ball
Easily beaten by Somerset yesterday. Apart from Chris Cooke, Glamorgan don't have a reliable batsman this season and are struggling to put competitive scores on the board in the 20/20 stuff (and the four day stuff!) - winning the occasional toss would help as well!
Managed to bowl (spun) themselves to victory over Glawster but its been a poor showing with the bat hasnt it. Balbirnie hasnt had an inspiring start to the campaign.
Agreed poor batting so far (apart from Chris Cooke) need to improve to give the bowlers a chance - next up Northants away tomorrow
Reading the report on the Somerset game last night it wasnt a competitive game, it said Somerset strolled to an embarrassingly easy victory. The batting, Cooke apart, is woefulOriginally Posted by Park Life
I suffered through it last night. 133 at Taunton is awful whatever way you look at it. Balbirnie started well but wants to hit every ball for a boundary, Root 5 off 13 opening and 2 players out playing ramp shots. I think Glammy are comfortable batting first and trusting the bowlers to defend the target but you could probably pick the 4 best t20 bowlers in the world and they wouldn't defend 133 at Taunton! They're live on Sky tomorrow aswell
So Sky have Glamorgan on live playing T20 tomorrow at exactly the same time as theyre covering Wales - Finland- bit of a clash for general welsh sports enthusiasts
Glam passed up good opportunities with bat and ball to beat Northants tonight. One thing Ive learned about watching 2 sports at once is you end up watching neither.
So frustrating the way Northants were skying the ball up into the air and running two - at least one of those chances should have been taken.
Glamorgan let down by their batting again - I'd say their score was forty short of par.
160 was poor after the platform the top 3 had given them. I didnt watch the Northants innings but can anyone tell me why Callum Taylor, with his bowling figures, doesn't bowl out after that?
Glamorgan actually won a toss and decided to field in their final four day game - Warwickshire currently 23-3 in one of my favourite batsmen Ian Bell's last match;-

Bell batting well ... as normal - van der Gugten bowled well - even session
Wicket falls off the first ball I watched - 12-2, I can't see us getting a first innings lead.
Thought after the first half hour this morning we had a sniff of a first win.
Within a short space of time the game looks gone and we'll do well to scrape anything from here, currently trailing by 210 with 6 wickets still to get.
Did anyone else watch that crap tonight? Blew a good chance for a win with some crazy batting. Another very disappointing season for Welsh cricket.
Yeah, I watched it. Bowlers done well, bats let them down as usual. Some of our shot selection is bizarre and De Lange coming at 5??
Big test for Glamorgan's batting today, Northants bowled all out for 98 - I reckon it's 50/50 who'll win at the moment.
Scores level with 7wkts left I'm confident, never in doubt 🤣
David Lloyd, who missed all of our red ball games, got us off to a fast and there was sixty on the board in time at all, but it was hard work after that on a very slow pitch.
Win our remaining three games and we could qualify!
That was never going to happen was it, that was some hammering by Somerset yesterday! It’s so bad it doesn’t even get discussed anymore, I forgot the game was on
Exactly the same as me, I only remembered to check the result about an hour ago - the specialist batting this season has been as weak as at any time in the twenty first century and there's plenty of other sides in contention for that title.That was never going to happen was it
Babar was dropped twice (on 10 and 66) on his way to scoring 114 not out, as Maynard (and many others previously) pointed out catches win matches - unlikely but could have been a different result
