Yet again, Glamorgan are bowled out in a fifty over match - 200 all out which isn't too bad considering they were 58-5.

Salter fails again
To be fair, Glamorgan did very well to beat Sussex (who had what was reckoned to be the quickest bowling attack in county cricket) pretty comfortably on Friday, but, once again, they cannot bat the full fifty overs in their latest match - Hampshire off to a racing start in what you would have thought were good swing bowling conditions as well.
Can we beat you lot heavily today? That being said we need to rely on Hants/Kent (who hammered us) to also have any chance of progressing, after 3 years of scraping through and then getting to the final, this might be the end!
Good business with getting Khawaja in now for some Championship cricket
Cardiff West Indians midweek league team could beat us at the moment so I'd say not beyond the realms of possibility.
You have what looks to be a decent side.
Although I wish you luck, be nice to see a few of our youngsters get some batting practice in today as they must be shot on confidence.
Glammy finished on 266/8 so a respectable total. A shame for Connor Brown losing his wicket on 98. A good innings from Wagg to boost the total. Another failure for Donald who needs time with the seconds to find some form.
getting spanked all over the Oval right now, embarassing☹️
Surrey will win with a dozen overs to spare. Another very poor day. This is the worst one day campaign in many years.
Back to the County Championship where surely Donald and Salter will be dropped. Donald is good enough in my view to make the grade. Salter is a poor spinner and not up to it.
Thought Brown was tremendous for your lot considering he had a massive rebuilding job on his hands and nobody could stick around with him. Whole pavilion was bit gutted for him, he had an over left and didn't really need to play the shot he did.
Disappointing campaign for us, mostly thanks to two huge spankings. Oh well. See you lot for the T20!

Khawaja is batting
Scotland just beat England in an ODI
Is it time Wales has a ODI/Twenty20 international team? Or even totally divorce itself and field a test team too like Ireland?
I can see both sides of the argument on this one, but my preference is to keep the current situation whereby Glamorgan (who play one game every season at Colwyn Bay) are representing Wales in the best level of domestic cricket in the UK - there's also a Wales team which competes, not very successfully, in the Minor Counties Championship.
It's not been tried, so it cannot be proved one way or another. but I don't believe a Wales cricket team, which would lead to the end of Glamorgan in it's current form, would be a success. For it to stand a chance of being so, a Wales cricket team would have to have test match status and/or consistently reach World 50 over and 20/20 Final tournaments and the competition among the second level of cricket playing countries is pretty intense - I don't think a Wales side operating with the sort of selection policy, say, Ireland have would be able to achieve that currently.
Also, the attendance for the single test match when Australia weren't the opposition was very disappointing and the crowds for the one day internationals played in Cardiff aren't great - there seems little appetite to watch top class cricket in this area and that would, surely, apply even more so if Wales opted to go it alone.
Only two days in and plenty of time for things to go wrong yet, but an under strength Glamorgan team are giving league leaders Warwickshire a much better game than I expected them to at Edgbaston - currently twenty five ahead with all second innings wickets intact.
Khawaja ton up![]()
Get Bell out and weve got a chance..a slim one but a chance
