I see Byrom has been left out, Billy Root is in the squad and Kellaway is fit, so it looks like Ul Hassan will open and they might try Dickson at 3 again - not sure where Root fits in unless he opens?Originally Posted by Lord Worcester
Why oh Why is Ul Hassan in the squad
Glamorgan 89-1 at lunch after being put in. Tribe out for 45, Ul Hassan 34 not out. Carlson’s batting at 3, with Kellaway at 4 and McIlroy has come in for Gorvin.
This knock should do Ul Hassan the world of good. At what point does Carlson come into England consideration?
I doubt if he will be considered now. He's probably too old. Great loyal servant for us but, a bit like Dale, Hemp or Powell years ago just hasn't been recognised as having that little bit extra to make the jump
The thing about Carlson is that because he’s been playing so long, people assume he’s older than he is - just looked on Wikipedia and it says he’s only 27. He’s getting First Division runs today with a century at better than a run a ball, he’s 112 at tea with Ul Hassan on 87 - I’ve had a go at him in this thread, but I really hope he gets a century because I’m sure it’d do him a world of good.
Glamorgan 262-1 at tea and, after my whingeing about their run rate, they’re going at more than four an over.
The downside is that it looks like another feather bed of a pitch, but, after being put in, all they can do is try to keep on piling up the runs.
Hampshire lost Liam Dawson to injury just before the game started, so, maybe there might be something in the pitch for our spinners because that’s one aspect of the game where we definitely look stronger than Hampshire.
It wasn't the most flamboyant of innings but a lovely moment for ul Hassan. Well done to him.
He's just got to his first First Class century (off 251 balls). His highest before today was 69 in over 30 matches. Hope it does him the world of good.
When he contributes 20 off say 60 balls, he doesn't add anything to the team, so its hard to justify his place, but if he can score big in a day, then add support to the spinners then why not.
Well done Bozza, you did it!
That didn't age very well!
Thankfully
353-1 at the close of play.
This one is due another bump. Well deserved mare here but you wouldn’t have been the only one saying this before play.
Great start to this one. Let's hope the weather doesn't scupper their good position.
I don’t think I’ll get the chance to say Glamorgan have collapsed to 500-5 in the time I have left in my life, so I’ll say it now. Carlson and Ul_Hassan took their partnership to 318 before the latter was run out and poor Ben Kellaway went for a Duck. Carlson got his double hundred, eventually falling for 209, and Ingram was out for 32 - Dickson is continuing his improved form though with 35 not out.

Are we attempting to stay up due to batting points?
we dont often get many
536-7 declared, Dickson 54 not out.
Quite an encouraging morning for Glamorgan - Hampshire 101 - 3.
getting better 132-5 crane starting to make things happen
Hampshire 214 all out.
Glamorgan 322 ahead and enforce the follow on
The commentators were discussing `whether it’s the first time we’ve made a side follow on in the First Division and they think it probably is.
McIlroy bowls Hampshire’s experienced opener Gubbins first ball -Hampshire 18-1.
Hants 27/2 following on. Superb stuff from the Glammy attack and in stark contrast to Hampshire's bowling which was often short and wide.
Now 112/5 off 41 which Rob Shepherd just said is 268/15 today!
Not many saw that coming I'm sure 👏
Fantastic performance
