For more than half of my life,City found it impossible to beat Bristol City during the regular league season, what is it about certain opposition that turns a sporting team’s legs to jelly and brains to mush? In both of the examples given, the poor runs have lasted decades, so we’re hardly talking about a specific group of players being to blame.

The strangest thing avout our Middlesex phobia is that we have beaten them in London in the years when we’ve struggled in Cardiff. Only a few weeks ago we racked up more than 600 at Lords, but I swear that if the game would have been played on exactly the same wicket in Cardiff, we’d have lost in three days.

If I were Glamorgan, I’d seriously think about switching our next home Championship game with Middlesex to somewhere like Neath, Colwyn Bay or Abergavenny.
How often have we won a county game in Lords? From memory we usually get battered there too with very few exceptions.
