CC :: Glamorgan v Durham

[Ghfd]

Inspection after Tea with Marty tweeting that the rain has stopped.

Been frustrating to lose two sessions after the day we had yesterday, but if we do get on tonight I think we should declare before the resumption.

Yes, declaration now , is the right way forward

 

[The Truth]

Not sure there's going to be enough play over the next two days to get a result, i'd be tempted to get those 2 extra batting points in the bag over the next 14 overs.

Get to 400 first and get the batting point, then declare

Aye, fair point, if more rain is suspected throughout the game then @The Truth has a valid point too.

Edit - No play today, decide whether to declare tomorrow morning when Badger opens the curtains in his hotel.

Sadly it appears that it's Campbell that makes those decisions. Forecast tomorrow is much like today's so draw appears inevitable. Bat on for maximum bonus points seems the logical thing but Campbell won't think that way.

Looks nailed on draw now like hopefully some moisture gets onto that dead wicket.

Cricket on the west side of the country no wonder the counties over there rarely win the championship.

Just checked Met Office site for Sophia Gardens and rain isn’t forecast until 6pm tomorrow. Appreciate it can change. We might be lucky.

What makes you assume that the captain has no say or that they won't agree on when to declare?

Sorry,it's simply my opinion without a great deal of evidence. I'm sure Borthwick will be consulted,, just think he can be easily persuaded.

Tee off and see what happens. Quick runs great, getting out no biggie.

Changed my opinion on this overnight, keep batting I say, try and get up to 450 and then declare at 110 overs. It’s unlikely we can take 20 wickets from here, so maximise the batting points and by scoring 450 it would atleast mean Glamorgan need 301 to avoid the follow on if we were able to take early wickets and apply some pressure.

Seems like a bit of PTSD hangover from franklin. I like to think we've moved on from there!

We are about 20 runs short of another bonus point. Go and get that first.

 

[danthemanSAFC]

Only need to go at 5.2 an over to get the 5th BP.
