Yeah gotta be happy with that I reckon. James Harris coming in at 10 seems like a sign of a really good batting lineup.
At last a decent first innings total.
It wasnt named after the great doctor.But it will always be Grace Road to cricket lovers.
That corporate nonsense doesn't really matter, except the club gets money from it.
Sophia Gardens is still Sophia Gardens, though it was Swalec. The Cardiff City Stadium is a good name for us. But if calling it something ridiculous for a lot of money by some deluded company should happen, I wouldn't be too bothered.
WG Grace is a rather more substantial historical entity than Uptonsteel, I feel......
You're right.
However, I maintain that Grace Margaret Yearby was a more substantial historical entity than Uptonsteel.
Leicestershire 280-5 at the close in reply to Glamorgan’s 387.
Could have been worseYou're right.

Could have been called ToughSheet like Bolton Wanderers ground
First T20 of the year, against a strong Surrey side. Enjoyed that 'stop' by timm. Smashed flush on the shoulder by an absolute rocket off the bat on his follow through. Ooohs and aahs all around. But his eyes never left the ball. Proper fast bowler mentality, f@ck the pain, my shoulders just saved 4 runs against me.
21/1 Jamie Mac wicket. Oh glammy glammy
Feck me a fielding comedy show. So many dropped catches and Marnus bowling like a ####!
Totally agree. We've given the Surrey/England mafia another chance to promote the utterly average Jamie smith as international class, by dropping him twice and bowling some Utter shite to him. Still, 146/7. We need to switch on now and take advantage of this, keep the foot on the throat and get that win on the board
McIlroy is a b1oody joke and boom boom another dropped catch.
Glad not paid money to watch this shambles.
We've been all over them. Yet they're going to get 200. Absolutely calamitous in terms of fielding and pathetic rank deliveries from mcillroy. Shocking from Glamorgan
bet we don't get to 120
Unfortunately I agree. Judging by the 1st innings. I'm predicting Spencer Johnson and his one delivery will see us bamboozle ourselves and be out for about that. Hopefully they prove us wrong. We've got a long and talented batting lineup, if we go out and attack we should do this Surrey team
Carlson forgot to insert his brain this evening.
Totally outplayed.
Wrong bowling selection.
Poor fielding and bowling enabling Surrey to get off the hook.
Good Surrey bowling.
Rabbits in the headlights and way off the mark.
Very disappointing home start.
We've got Marnus labushagne ,!!!
The most pathetic 50 Ingram ever has or ever will score. But I have a sneaky feeling he's just warmed up. Big 5 overs ahead
Edit: Run out next ball
Awful innings
They should have had a reasonable total to chase and not 200. Sloppy performance in the field.
Steve James acknowledged the dropped catches costed Glammy.
I feel like as a team we did enough to win that . Really comes down to 3 players and the coach for me . Unfortunately we had the guaranteed toxic performance from northeast, innings of 9/10 not as bad as normal admittedly, but backed it up with a shocking display in the field. Jamie mcillroy fell apart, can't quite understand what happened to him. Then Ingram played a northeast innings to completely destroy us. Coach gave us 4 bowling options, in a move reminiscent of mark alleyne.
But some great performances around that rubbish. I actually think we can have a good season in the t20
Really let them off the hook. Fielding was poor, despite doing well in restricting them to singles on a few occasions. Too many bad balls punished. I noted Surrey didnt drop one opportunity and I cant even recall a no ball or wide. That was the difference. Marnus/Ingram/Cooke spell was enjoyable.

Fear McIlroy has the yips... his action's all gone. Could take a while to get back, having played well last year.
You can understand not being able to match the bigger counties on the batting/bowling front, but there's no excuse not to match them on the fielding front - that was beyond pathetic.
Frustrating defeat yesterday. We were competitive throughout and even with the selection backfiring, the dropped catches and Ingram struggling to get going we still only lost by 19 runs so positives to take from it. I've literally no idea where posters were seeing 'rabbits in the headlights', 'way off the mark', 'totally outplayed', 'bloody joke', 'comedy show', 'shambles', toxic', 'rubbish', 'beyond pathetic' etc. Maybe they think we need the City match thread vibe on here? I'd beg to differ but each to their own, I guess.
Back in action at home against Sussex tomorrow at 2.30, hopefully we can hold our catches and get a win.
I was watching the Welsh womens game, so saw very little of Glamorgan and therefore only have the scorecard to go by. On the face of it, they gave what is, player for player, the best county team in the country a decent enough game. Were Glamorgan, traditionally one of the weaker counties, and were really missing Neser and havent adequately replaced Hogan yet - we had a combination of Labuschagne and Bevan as our fifth bowler and, just as in the four day game, the side looks a specialist bowler short.
The comments reflected the frustration people felt having witnessed probably the worst fielding display by a Glamorgan team in many years. Felt like a very good opportunity lost to beat a very good side.
Hoping for a decent crowd today given the weather - should be good down there.
