CC :: Glamorgan v Durham

[The Red Telephone]

Welsh commentator mentioning Wrexham are on the verge of promotion...Well you learn something new every day !!
400 up

 

[Aidan11]

48 runs to get in 9.3 overs for the 5th point.

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.

Badger and Campbell have obviously been reading this board this morning

Early days of the season but it makes a huge difference when your bowling all rounders make a contribution with the bat.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

So 5 overs to go 25 runs needed
Carse gone lbw

 

[The Red Telephone]

Shame for Carse going on 91.

 

[brandon]

Need 4 from 12 balls.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Prevent them a bowling point lads. Don't mess this up

Awful awful dismissal.

Awful awful dismissal.

That's being generous.

I’m saving my expletive quota up for later

451-8, maximum batting points

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

4 balls to get 2 runs
Edit. Bonus point achieved for Durham.

 

[danthemanSAFC]

5th Batting Point

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Surely declare and stop then getting a bonus point?

 

[Markymarkspunkybunch]

Eh? What they playing at?!?!?

 

[danthemanSAFC]

Haway lads, it’s day 3

 

[The Red Telephone]

As Fiery Fred used to say, "Ah just don't know what's going off out there!"

 

[brandon]

Surely declare and stop then getting a bonus point?

Waste of balls really though, because you lose two overs plus the one you’re in anyway - so when we do decide to declare, it makes the most sense to wait until the end of an over.

Get to 500 and Glamorgan need 351 to avoid the follow-on. More scoreboard pressure…

All good as they haven't managed to get max bowling points. Job done
