Nathan McAndrew isn't a bad bowler, but he's not a good one either. He's a slightly below average bowler who can biff it a bit, to sign him as an overseas player is quite a sign of low ambition. How the hell has he just taken 11 wickets in 2 games against us.

If the team finds itself having to slog every ball out of the ground you are going to take wickets, as they did. The catching was faultless too unfortunately.
Kiran Carlson has looked right out of form this weekend. He’s such an important player for us, but he’s barely timed a shot well in the last two games - out for a laborious 8 today after Smale went first ball - 34-2 in the fifth over.
Kellaway looks such a good batsman at times, just stumped for 53 - 97-3 in the eleventh over.
Unbelievable innings from Asa Tribe at the end. A great innings from Glamorgan had suddenly slowed down at the wrong time. But 41 runs off the last 2 overs take us to 189
Absolutely superb.
Payne is a very good bowler in this format - hammered by Tribe.
Gloucester commentators though 170 would be decent.
Fantastic, big win. Tough game coming against Somerset on Friday, but they lost today so they're certainly beatable.
Mason Crane’s taken a lot of wickets this season, but, with red ball cricket to return quite soon, it’s hard to see a way into the team for him for that. Our squad has got more depth to it this year than it’s had for some time with Tribe and Kellaway doing really well, Leonard coming along nicely and Smale establishing himself in the one day stuff.j
He played for the seconds in the week so he must be concerned about his form but that superb 90 odd against Essex was only nine days ago so it seems a bit odd.
That's a good summing up. Hard to be critical of Douthwaite, it was a great knock, but having got us ahead of the game with four overs left and then hitting the next ball for 6 he didn't need to keep slogging then. He could've just waited for the bad balls and seen us home with mainly ones and twos. Easy to say with hindsight though. Once Tribe and Imad had wasted a few balls everyone had to thrash from then on and the chance had gone.
They did catch well, yes. Cooke was unlucky to get out the way he did, another couple of inches on Kellaway's drive and he'd have been up and running again. Fine margins. Two good away wins this week but it's going to be frustrating if we start doing a City and can't win our home games.
You're always going to go through runs of low scores if you open the batting in T20 or the Hundred cricket especially, so it's not his scores that bother me, but the way his shots were barely clearing fielders and then not havimng the power to reach the boundary. That's not Carlosn at all, he's a fearless team man who is easily capable of clearing the ropes. Don't think I saw him bat in the win at Essex because I definitely would have noticed if he had batted like he did over the weekend - hopefully, he'll have got his timing back by the time we next play.
