Just got in from work and thought I'd watch the afternoon's play. Not sure I want to now
170 all out. Looks like this game and any chance of promotion is over.
Glamorgan won at Worcester last season after having a first innings deficit of over a hundred, but they were able to bowl Worcestershire out quite cheap,y in the third innings and I can’t see that happening with this attack.
Disappointing that we haven’t tried to get another bowler in, even on loan, it’s as if they’d given up on promotion before this game.
Great by McIlroy so far, maybe a big chase is on the cards. Although I suppose we had them 5 down for not much first innings aswell.
It's a 4 day season that has never really got going for us. Decent position in the table, but we seem to have played such negative cricket all year that we haven't really looked like potentially winning much at all. Even if we somehow magic up a promotion (looking unlikely), I still think there should be massive questions asked.
Edit:
Few minutes later and another 2 have fallen. Here we go !
Need to get D'Oliveira out quickly tomorrow morning. He turned their first innings into something decent.
Took the dog out for a walk at about five last night with Worcestershire 80-1 and cruising to an inevitable victory and by the time I got back, they were 125-8! The wicket looked to be settling down when Libby and Azhar Ali were batting, but it seems it going to be bowler friendly right through. If Glamorgan don’t go up, they can look back and think they did not play enough games on pitches like this. As it happens, the only game before this one in which there has been a definite result was the revere fixture between these teams which Glamorgan won, apart from that and one or two a rain hit matches, we’ve played in matches where the slow, lifeless pitch has been the winner. I’m not saying that all games should be played on pitches like this one, but, it would be good to see more of a balance between bat and ball. Although the odds must still be on the home team, one of the lessons of the season is that batting tends to get easier as game goes on.
260 to win. Game on! Come on Glammy
We did get him out pretty quickly this morning, and he was a tad cross with himself https://twitter.com/GlamCricket/stat...96151683305838
A big innings in the season going on here. Have they got the application?
Ingram gone unfortunately, need big innings from northeast and Carlson here
Today’s effort will be later described as ‘disappointing’ by whoever is wheeled out for a reaction.
this is a pretty poor display from alleged professional sportsman. commentators are a right miserable lot
102/5, Cooke and Root, definitely doable, b100dy hate defeatists
Cooke looking good, got what looked like a questionable decision to me. Looked outside the line for lbw, and seemed to miss the bat. Bit of an either or appeal and the umpire gave it
And now it's over
dodgy umpire
Kellaway gone. 7 down. The end is nigh.
Dismal effort, not been following country cricket as much in recent years but has the Worcester wicket been problematic recently? Used to have a good track there
