I watched two podcasts previewing Div 1 and 2 of the County Championship this week and Glamorgan did not even merit a mention in either of them, while the Guardian tipped us to finish seventh out of eight in their forecast for Div 2. I've no expectation of promotion or anything like that this year, I just hope for some pitches which provide an equal balance between bat and ball, rather than the boring run fests which have become the norm since games started being streamed - I'm not holding my breath mind.
Having seen the scores in the friendly against Cardiff UCCE , where the university scored 400 plus as did Glamorgan, then it suggests the same sort of tracks as seen in recent seasons.
It was a first for me last Sunday though. I watched the afternoon session down at Sophia, which is the first time Ive ever watched a match( in the UK) in March. It felt like the middle of June though. Its the most Ive enjoyed watching sport since before this dire football season started!
