    Lukas Carey is having a very good week. About time he was back in the side.

    Phew. Nice to get a win and an entertaining game all in all. Good debut for that Bethal lad for them.

    Thought they had messed up, it’s easy to get in that mindset. A good game.

    Cracking up and down chase, very exciting . Great character shown by Carey and walker.
    Watching the 100 bollocks on TV now. Love the fact that they are trying to bring more people to the game and are putting games on terrestrial tv. All this could have been done with the t20 format though. I think the ecb just didn't want to admit they'd learned lessons from the aussie big bash. By putting this demented 100 ball concept together they can pretend its all their original ideas.

    As for the 'banter' between chunkz and that chris Hughes tosser. Does that really attract anyone to the game ?

    Yep it’s a nonsense when we already have T20

    My personal opinion is that this new format is simply not needed.
    T20 is popular, hasn’t cost a fortune to set up and doesn’t negatively impact on the other formats.
    However, the 100 is unlikely to be pulled and I would imagine the idea is that it will gradually replace the T20 and probably finish off the 50 over game.
    As a traditionalist, when it comes to sport ,I really don’t enjoy seeing the games I loved growing up being subject to such big changes . I guess it is a case of tv/ sponsors being the driving force so I dread what future innovations are likely across all forms of sport.
    Oh, good win for Glammy.

    It almost seems a bit insulting to the target viewers aswell. As if the ecb are saying to them ' we think you're too thick and lack the attention span for 120 balls, so we've added some silly nicknames and made it 100 balls to appeal to thickos like you.

    Well it gives us another team to be disappointed with.

    Not for me. No interest in Welsh Fire. Only David Lloyd from Glammy in their squad.

    Re: GLAMMY

    this hundred seems very plastic and 'fast food' cricket and not for me. t20 was acceptable so why the need for this glitz? tennis balls and plastic bats next ffs!

  13. #2863

    Re: GLAMMY

    I wonder if these participants will become specialist Hundred players and ultimately gett capped by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

    There is already a set of specialist limited overs cricketers and a set of test batsmen with different captains though there is some cross over.

    Call me an old cynic but it just seems to me like another money making exercise which will see the public get charged top dollar for watching "international cricketers"... hundreds of them.

    Not fussed on T20, not interested in the Hundred and definitely will not be interested in the Eighty in future.

    Re: GLAMMY

    The hundred is the way they found to get franchised cricket and get bigger names playing in this country.
    The blast is the only t20 competition in the world that is played by sides that play domestic cricket sides.
    The Ecb think they missed a trick when they saw how big the IPL and Big Bash have become and now want the same.
    Watched a bit last night and not that impressed with this new format.
    Can't see how it will attract people who don't already like cricket which they claim they are trying to do.

    Need to get van der Gugten to sign a new contract now - he's been very good this season. Fully expecting James Harris to sign for next season as well.
    Confirmed that James Harris is joining permanently for 2022. Still worried that there's no news on van der Gugten!

    Re: GLAMMY

    I’d like to see a match where there are mixed teams minimum of 5 men 5 women - think that would be quite good

    So we have Neser, Hogan, Harris, Douthwaite and Weighell under contract next season. Not sure on Carey, Walker and Smith. TVG is one to keep but we are going to be overloaded with medium/fast bowlers the way this is heading. No idea why we signed Weighell.

    Agree.
    I cannot see this generating anywhere near as much interest as the IPL.

    The Asians are fanatical about cricket.
    We are fanatical about football.

    Re: GLAMMY

    Interesting signing of James Harris. Pace bowling is a real strength area for us, and from what I've seen James Harris is on current form a level below what he have.
    He is well suited to the slow nibbly surfaces at sophia Gardens though, so hopefully he will be an asset

    Re: GLAMMY

    Glamorgan 295-6 at the end of their fifty overs at Northants - 86 for Rutherford and an unbeaten 58 for Cullen, good knocks by Taylor and Joe Cooke as well.

  21. #2871

    Re: GLAMMY

    Northants 121-5 and needing to score at near seven an over from now on.

  22. #2872

    Re: GLAMMY

    Glamorgan doing well at the 50 over format so far!

  23. #2873

    Re: GLAMMY

    Northants now 6 wickets down. Never count your chickens with Glamorgan, but looking like 2 wins out of 2 in this competition

    I quite enjoyed it and will watch again.

    Haven't seen Glamorgan since Viv Richards played and have no interest in watching England.

    Northants 236 all out.
