So it looks like if you turn up at Sophia Gardens with your kit, you get a game. Glammy need some big Hollywood backers soon.
Bad day at the office and getting whooped by Derby.
Just read that derby are on track for their first home county champ win since sept 2019. And it’s against……us! The final nail looks like being David Lloyd clean bowling Chris Cooke with a ripper with his ‘newly developed’ off spin!!! I say this often with glammy - you really couldn’t make it up.
Glamorgan have done really well to reach a Cup Final and were a strange mixture of brilliance and ineptitude in T20 cricket, but, once again, they have been disappointing in the four day game mainly because they struggle to take twenty wickets in a game. They've been unlucky not to win a couple more games, but they've been saved by the weather at least twice and this has neen a poor effort against a team that has shaped up like the weakest team in the competition for most of this season - Crane was a good signing, but not bringing in someone to replace Neser looked a mistake at the time and it has proven to be one, our seam bowling is weak by county standards and I dread to think what would happen if Van Der Gugten was unavailable for any amount of time.Originally Posted by Lord Worcester
Indeed. Each summer seems to be a repeat. Some very encouraging 4 day games, interspersed with some horrors meaning no really strong push at promotion. And a t20 campaign, always with some promise, but always seemingly doomed to disappointment. The 50 over has been a ray of hope, and despite everything I am very much looking forward to my day out on the 22nd sept.
TvdG playing leics on his own in the morning session. Let’s hope the others turn up after lunch!
Gloucestershire game abandoned on day 1 because of a sub standard pitch. Probably plenty of repercussions coming with that.

It was Dan's show in the afternoon 4-49. Same old problem for Glammy - unable to finish off the tail. Leicester put on 69 for the last 2wkts! Still restricted them to 251. Northeast opened with a Golden but recovered to be 109-2 after being 27-2.
Finished 114-2.
Interesting situation at Bristol which is usually one of the flattest tracks on the circuit - I see they were using a hybrid pitch.
What half electric?
Great knock by Ingram today.
Didn't appreciate until today that he will qualify as a non-overseas next season! Has to be a good 2-year contract on the table for him, no matter how old he is.
It was a first ever double century for Ingram who created a Glamorgan record by completing a thousand runs for the season in just thirteen innings.
As for the game, it’s following a pattern that has been seen at Cardiff many times before where a wicket flattens after having something in it for the bowlers on day one - maybe things will be different this time.
The ball was keeping low at times yesterday. That might help us.
Hopefully we can push for the win from here
I can't believe how well Ingram has done this season. Another superb knock.
I'm keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for the 22nd as will book tickets if it looks fine.
For the second year running, all four teams going to T20 finals day are from our group. Not saying we weren't our own worst enemy at times this season but we had to play all four finalists twice (Essex too) so it was a tough schedule in a tough group.
Think it’s the second straight year that there’s been a Southern clean sweep of the Quarter Finals - this season was bonkers, we annihilated perhaps the strongest county at T20 in the past five years (Somerset) and performed like a parks team in the two matches with Gloucestershire.
Far from completing a 6-0 summer whitewash, England’s strange, complacent attitude in their game with Sri Lanka sees them in real danger of defeat now - 69-6 in their second innings, just 132 ahead.
Sri Lanka 94-1, chasing 219 - England have not treated their opponents with the respect that they deserve and I hope they get what they deserve tomorrow.
James Harris is back tomorrow, timm drops out. Hopefully rested for the finals. I do wish Glamorgan were a bit more forthcoming on injury news.
Hoping Harris has a strong finish to the season. I think he's got better and better as the year has worn on. He's still not that old, maybe he just needed a good lot of overs under his belt. Douthwaite is really impressing me bowling wise recently, and his batting seems to be clicking back into gear again aswell. If we could add a good paceman to Timm, Crane, Harris and and Douthwaite I think we'd have a real strong attack.
Tuning in, 26/2 with Carlson and Ingram at the crease. Deja vu, here's hoping they deliver another big partnership
not this time 79-4
Was looking good as we pushed through the 50s for 2. But those 2 wickets have pushed us right back. Carlson going well, could do with a real big score from himnot this time 79-4
186 all out. Good partnership between Douthwaite and Harris to take us from 135-7 to 184-8. Last 2 wickets then fell for 2 runs.
Commentators did seem to think it looked a good bowling pitch. Let's hope it is.
Sussex untroubled on 41-0 in reply to Glamorgan’s 186.
Absolutely nothing on this game for Glamorgan, Sussex looking to clinch the title - will it last beyond three days.
Glamorgan’s focus at this stage of the season is on just one match.
Interesting at the top of division one. One of the all time poor performances I've ever seen, and delivered by a good side in Surrey.
Surrey all over Somerset in the 2nd innings, before Craig overton hit 49 not out and tom banton hit 40 odd from number 11, commentators didn't think he'd come out as he was struggling to even walk. Fantastic innings. Surrey had all day to chase less than 200 and put the league to bed. Made the quite frankly ridiculous decision to play for a draw instead. Got their just desserts, Somerset wrapped up the win with only minutes to spare
I watched much of the last couple of hours of the game and, although I didn’t get Surrey’s attitude (I suppose the Championship would have been theirs with a draw), I’d give Somerset credit for some great late order batting and good bowling - Michael Vaughan’s boy, who opened the batting and took eleven wickets in the game, looks a prospect.
