One day a youngster like Owen Morgan bats at 9. Two days later he opens the innings. Absolute nonsense.

We have a captain who is a specialist batsman who cannot average even as low as 25. Chris Cooke is our highest ranked batsman in division two but he is not even averaging 40 and is ranked 50th and hasn't played for three months.

We may well finish bottom so under Hugh Morris things are getting worse.
When MacAdder said Morris should go I thought it perhaps a bit harsh but in reality this is professional sport and the players are failing abysmally. Time for Hugh to go and the likes of Meschede and Rudolph need to be cleared out.
That's very harsh on Meschede who is really a bowling all rounder. I would very much stick him in the one for the future category, and i think there is promise in his game.

Its hard to complain about your 7 & 8 who are not performing with the bat, but ultimately that is not their job, it the top order that is constantly failing that is the problem. I would like to see a new overseas player come in, but i think contractually that will prove difficult.

At Glamorgan we seem to be going through coaches at an alarming rate, and now we seem to want our CEO out. I wouldnt mind seeing some stability, this season if anything we have the progression of some of the younger players, who might benefit from staying in the same structure.

If we can do anything with the overseas player, get Ingram through a knee op to enable him to play the longer form and sign an experienced top order batsman things could get better.
