well played Glammy!
The frustrating thing is that’s it for the four day game for Glamorgan for five weeks or so now and when it starts up again, our team will be missing Ingram and Neser. One of the two overseas vacancies will be filled by the New Zealand spinner Patel and it shouldn’t be forgotten that we’ve got a good seamer in Van Der Gugten to come back, but we need to get the second overseas signing right and I wouldn’t be averse to looking into the possibility of a loan signing to help the promotion cause.
That leads on to what has become quite normal in cricket in recent years - teams finishing one season without knowing for sure what the format will be for the following one. Although the current plan is for the top two in Division Two to be promoted, there’s talk, for example, of there being three smaller divisions next season because there appears to be a definite drive among the powers that be to reduce the amount of four day cricket even further, so it might be that a second place finish this season would see us merely scrape into a new Division Two.
wow I did not see that coming
No four day game for Glamorgan this week, but there are a couple of important Division Two matches being played. Middlesex will go above us again if they avoid defeat at Durham and two other contenders play each other as Worcestershire take on Derbyshire.
Derbyshire 14-5.
4 rounds of games in September is certainly optimistic. Hoping the weather holds. Good start for Durham against Middlesex, would be a great result for us if middlesex lose.
Another hundred for Bevan and 75 off 28 balls for Douthwaite as Glamorgan seconds scored 394-6 in a fifty over friendly with Northants today.
