Glamorgan (A) 2025
« on: June 05, 2025, 02:47:54 PM »
The same squad, let's hope for a different result. Looks like there's some rain around in the evening (in Cardiff, surely not).

Harmer, Allison, Amir, Benkenstein, Cook, Critchley, Das, Elgar, Pepper, Richards, Rossington, Snater, Thain, Walter

Baffled why thain isn't getting a game. It's more his game than 4 day imo

Totally agree and although limited, he can also bowl.

As much as I don't rate his bowling in 4 day cricket he couldn't really do much worse than the other seamers have so far in T20. And he can give it a biff.

Weird he's not playing at least in place of benkenstein.

Well, a par score. Going to be tight defending it.

It looks as though, Amir is not very mobile and is having to be, rather unsuccessfully, hidden in the field.

The Umpire has told Rossington. If you do not shut up, we will close the Player's restaurant.

Utterly dreadful again

Skipper is as about as astute as Westley.

Yet bet the same bowlers are picked again

Rosso yet another failure, really a poor signing for us.

I thought that T20 is on a not to be discussed list.

It should be, as it is so depressing.

Didn't watch the previous games so this was my first look at Amir, 2025 version. Good grief. Hard to believe it's the same guy. His first 3 overs were shocking, plus he's a complete liability in the field.

The rest of our bowling was merely mediocre, and by the end we looked broken.

Oh be fair. He's still able to bowl a no-ball on demand.

Well, after being totally outclassed in the first two matches I did have hope that we could have put up a good fight tonight and maybe even beaten Glamorgan!
How wrong was I?!!...another embarrassment.
We will win a 2 or 3 matches out of the 16 as the law of averages means we have to catch another side or two on a bad day,  but this will probably go down as our worst ever T20 campaign and team

Another poor performance, sloppy in the field (bar Pepper), bowling looks unthreatening and unless Pepper gets runs we don?t look like scoring much above 140.

The squads got such a lack of depth it?s hard to see a solution but I?d like to see Allison have a go at the top of the order instead of Rossington, Benkenstein isn?t a 7 (in fact we don?t really have a 7 in the squad) and we should see the likes of Das, Richards and Thain are good enough to play t20 cricket at this level.

I?d go for Sundays match
1. Allison
2. Elgar
3. Pepper (wk)
4. Das/Benkenstein (Cox when back)
5. Critchley
6. Walter
7. Thain/Richards
8. Snater
9. Harmer
10. Cook
11. Amir
