Ten wicket win takes Glamorgan into second on 97 points. Unfortunately, Derbyshire have Kent following on with the forecast saying it should start raining for the day there tomorrow in the early afternoon.

The man is delusional, but extremely confident. Must be a public schoolboy.
Apparently, it was the first time Middlesex have ever had to follow on against us and the first time we’ve ever won three consecutive games with a day to spare. As Ive said before on here a few times, our record against Middlesex in Cardiff has been appalling over the past thirty five years or so and this prompted me to say after the Northants win that I might start thinking of a promotion challenge if we could beat Middlesex - well, we didn’t just beat them, we stuffed them!
I believe our next four day game is in about a month’s time at Leicestershire who are looking as good as up already. We’ll go there without Fernando who was bowling really well after a poor start and Kuhnemann who was our match winner today, but it looks unlikely that we’ll look for another overseas player as we have Hayden Kerr, the Australian all rounder brought over for the T20, who’s going to be available for red ball games as well and Ingram will replace Labuschagne. We’ve got the likes of Leonard, McIlroy and Douthwaite to be added to the seam bowling and Crane to help with spin, plus Kellaway of course. On the batting front, Root and Byron seem to be some way off selection so we must have some strength in depth in that department.
With youngsters coming in and making an impact, our squad depth looks as good as it’s been in some time, my concern would be whether we have bowlers capable of coming up with the sort of game changing contributions that Fernando and Kuhnemann have provided in recent wins.
Isn't it just. In fact I seem to remember similar happening last season.
Had been thinking that myself, a very welcome training partner
Derbyshire complete their innings win over Kent and so move a further point clear of us despite our latest victory - the gap between second and third is now eleven points.
Incredibly, that was only Glamorgan’s second red ball win over Middlesex in the near sixty years they’ve played at Sophia Gardens.
Wow. That is some stat. Save me googling it when was the other?
Thoroughly entitled attitude - makes belting them all the more enjoyable!"THis has been a very even game, apart from that partnership by Glamorgan on the first day...."

1991, there’s plenty of stats regarding yesterday’s win here.

Just come across this from 1981 (the cricket starts after a few minutes of speed boat racing). Abergavenny’s a lovely ground, but it had changed a fair bit when I went there three or four times in the 90s - the houses seem much closer to the ground than I remember them being.
Glamorgan tie their warm up T20 game at Wiltshire - 165-7 plays 165-7. The stream packed up then, so didn’t get to see the super over which, according to Glamorgan’s Twitter page, was won by some “Don Dowthwaite heroics” with the bat.
Well done Don!
Some interesting results . Surrey beaten easily by Somerset, shocking score of 146/9 from Surrey despite Jason Roy bashing 92 off 54. Hampshire beating Essex by 106 runs, 230 beating 124 all out.
England’s fielding very shoddy at Cardiff today, four dropped catches and a couple of easy run outs missed - they’re going to be chasing 300 plus.
Glamorgan starting at 4 in their first T20 match at Middlesex who, apparently have the worst record at first class level in this form of cricket in the world.
Really like the look of the Glamorgan side. 6 good bowling options, and we bat all the way to 11.
Middlesex 124-9 off their 20 overs on a pitch which Glamorgan’s women’s team were bowled out for 77 earlier today and Middlesex hardly found it easy going as yhey lost six wickets in knocking off the runs, so batting’s not easy and a win isn’t inevitable for us.
Three of the top five out or ducks for England who are relying very much on Joe Root at Cardiff.

5 wicket win thanks to dopughwaite and tribe
Cracking partnership. Easily the best of the day with 8 sixes between them. Good start.

I thought the fielding was outstanding today. In the end a comfortable win. Good start.
Asa Tribe is some fielder
Another excellent fielding performance. Douthwaite's bowling is so much better. Much more consistent and much less short and wide stuff.
