Reply With QuoteAgreed. Post 500+ with 2 batsmen scoring big runs. Lose time to weather and then take 20 wickets scattered across the bowlers, quick and spin alike. Very, very positive. The table looks nice.Originally Posted by poc

Wonderful. A great morale booster so early in the div 1 season, but to be fair in 2 of the other 3 matches Glamorgan have shown excellent fighting spirit. Carlson's first season as red ball captain is ging very well so far.
Marcus North who played for Glamorgan in 2012 and 13 is the new England National Selector.
He’s been coaching at Durham for the past few years, hopefully his experience with two less fashionable counties will help the selectors to cast the net a little wider.
He’s been coaching at Durham for 8 years. Home of 1 Ben stokes. Wonder if he had any influence over the selection……….!!
its moved from surrey essex and kent these days
Somerset 104=1 after Glamorgan won the toss. Young Tom Norton was one of our opening bowlers.
200-5. Good fight back. Norton with 2. Surprised mcllroy was dropped after hants.

Somerset 337-9 at the close. Three late wickets give Glamorgan maximum bowling points on a very green looking pitch - it looks like a good score, but if the Cardiff wicket plays true to form, it’ll flatten out from now on.
He’s injured apparently.

A struggle today, they’ve only just avoided the follow on. Looks like Glamorgan’s have produced a result wicket and it’s worked against them, I’d say that’s because we allowed Somerset to score about a hundred more than they should have.
A hat trick for Norton on his first class debut!
Take a bow Tom Norton. A hat trick on debut. Brilliant.
What a moment for the lad. Magnificent.
Fantastic
A hat trick on debut is more common than i thought it was, but it looks like it’s only the second time it’s happened in the County Championship.

31-5, two wickets for Hadley.
32-6 at the close, another wicket for Horton - five ducks in the Somerset innings so far!
Norton is quick.
4 wickets and hit Josh Thomas with a shorter ball.
What a prospect at 18!
From what I’ve seen of the pitch for this match, it has up and down bounce which, unusually, tends to involve more balls leaping off a length than keeping low. Norton has exploited this superbly and has been the most threatening of our bowlers - he also batted in a mature fashion which suggested he’s better than a number ten and, if I remember rightly, he took a superb catch on his one day debut last season.
Looking at the pitch in that last hour yesterday, you could argue Somerset already have a big enough lead, but, sometimes, cricket games seem to have a mind of their own and, if we could roll them over quickly this morning, all of the momentum will be with us and what looks like a testing target could turn out to be not as bad as feared.
Spot on Paul. I only watched a handful of balls on day one but its become clear this is not the standard slow Cardiff track. Perhaps that's why Norton was selected. Certainly not a pitch on which a team should be scoring 354 on.
We need to get Abell out very quickly today.
Anything north of 200 will be a tough ask but again Glammy and proving competitive.
I understand that Norton is the youngest ever player in the entire history of the game to bowl a hat trick on debut. I missed the first two wickets but caught the hat trick ball. Stunning stuff.
