Could be a blessing in disguise with Glam against Gloucester and Surrey with poor net run rate. It's going to be a long day watching those weather forecasts.

It doesn't look that either ourselves or Surrey will play.  The rain is coming from the west so the real threat is if it clears Welsh Wales early enough for Glamorgan to get a game on. It would be ironic if we get knocked out because Glamorgan have won a five over thrash.

Taking the positives it would be another nail in Grayson's coffin.

Although there are so many nails in it a swami could use it to sleep on ;)

Im pretty sure they will get some sort of game in tonight in Cardiff.  They are going to be desperate to get one on and the weather hasnt been as bad there.  It doesnt look good for us particularly as Gloucester are missing Handscomb, Marshall and Cockbain and so have a very weak batting lineup.

A few more blows in Glamorgan and we have the perfect excuse to get rid of Grayson

Welsh umpire miraculously decides that its dry enough to play the bare miniumum match possible in order for Glamorgan to get through.

Should have been careful what I wish for. Still a chance Gloucs will pass 45 but they can't qualify so have limited incentive. If we go out Larry will blame the rain

Thanks to the lovely chap Wagg for chewing-up 15 balls to score 6 runs!

Wagg only went off when he was hit on the head for the second time.
