Pathetic Glamorgan

Another pathetic display again today with the bat. Same as the last 2 years. What do they do in practice? No doubt Maynard will say we will learn from our mistakes and that there were positives to be seen. Absolute garbage the lot of them.

Maybe we should just play like we’re 9 down every game. Great stuff from Hogan and Taylor.

Looking at our batting line up though, it’s no surprise we hardly get a good score. Lucky last season to unearth Marnus Labuschagne, without him we wouldn’t have been anywhere near the top of the table.

They've mostly always been shite only Derbyshire and Durham have a worse history.

Looking at the positive, the demise of Glamorgan might lead to us actually having a national cricket team. Historically, key players and officials have always been more concerned with securing knighthoods and MCC memberships than championing the national cause.

Well done Callum Taylor. Local lad given a chance. Lack of good enough welsh talent in recent years has been appalling.

Glamorgan are now taking over Cricket Wales development programme for all youngsters so if it doesn't improve the responsibility will lay at their door.

Really not sure Wales having a cricket team would help. We'd be playing the likes of Jersey, Canada and Malta and would probably pick a whole bunch of foreign nationals who qualified through some some bizarre rules anyway.

Did well in end to restrict them to a 1st innings lead of 75 BUT! 1 for 1 start 2nd innings :o

Lose wicket consistently in 1st over that is a handicap to start with... need couple of players to be able to bat more than 2 overs without getting out at beginning of innings.

The only time we seem to get any partnerships going is when a batsman comes in and attacks the bowlers. De Lange has come in and attacked the bowlers and Had some success.

Always at end of innings when it's to late? All these attacking innings just means havent lost by innings! Only 38 ahead with 2 wickets left need another 120 runs at least to make it interesting..

Current lead is 140. Not bad considering where we were. De Lange just got his century as I’m typing this. Great innings again by a tail ender, bit as you said It’s not good enough. Should be the top order getting the runs and the tail Enders runs are a bonus.

Perhaps tail enders should bat lower down order? As its nearly always tail enders trying too save team... but get to 150 and could be interesting finish as think they've collapsed in last 3 games when in good position..

Fastest ever century by a Glammy player in first class cricket. Bonkers turn around albeit in T20 style.

Nothing new though one day get act together in 4 day cricket! Do relatively well in limited overs without doing anything ...but probably lose this match going on score so far.. :?

A team full of genuine all-rounders - cannot bat or bowl. The club seems to think more about test status for the ground than the actual team :banghead:

It's hard following Glam and I can only suggest reversing the batting order.

Judging by performances so far that is a good idea... :D
