[Cricket] Live - Glamorgan v Sussex - Cardiff, Apr 15 - 18 2021, County Championship

[Don Tmatter]

Carlson reprieved on 93. Routine stumping for Brown, off Carson, missed.

His work with Matt Prior earlier in the week paying off then ?

 

[The Wizard]

Vanessa Carlton is taking us a thousand miles down.

Bowling looking toothless once the ball gets to about 50 overs

Glam 285 ao

25 overs to go this evening.

That Carson is a real find - spinners don't tend to mature until well in their 20s. He looks nailed on to be an England player if he carries on like this

What’s going on Sussex 75-0 from 15!

 

[Mackenzie]

The buffets opened early in Cardiff.

Sussex 84/0 off 17 overs

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

50* for Thomason. Well batted

 

[Gwylan]

This Glamorgan commentator is pretty dozy - he can't appear to tell the difference between a left hander and a right hander

Close of Play, Day One

Glamorgan 285 all out

Sussex 99-0 (23 overs)

Aaron Thomason 52* Tom Haines 43*

 

[A1X]

Well that’s our competent day of cricket done for this summer

I doubt that we're going to get as much buffet bowling as that - Weighell and Douthwaite were giving Thomason a feast of half-trackers. What made it worse was that Glamorgan had four slips and a gully so the batters had a lot of empty space to play with

Aaron Thomason c & b Hogan 67 (122m 110b 12x4 0x6) SR: 60.9

115-1 (31.1 ov)

Do you think he'd choose England over Ireland? I would assume he would, but you never know.

They were saying on the radio commentary that the pitch wasn't giving much, but he bowled really well to get his wickets. Very promising.

 

[Taybha]

50 for Haines

 

[MJsGhost]

Now we've avoided the follow-on, I'm sure we can all breathe a sigh of relief. At least we won't be COMPLETELY humiliated.

In other news, Hampshire's Mohammad Abbas has an impressive Michelle against Middlesex already - 5 for 3 off 4 overs! (Middx 14/5)

So nice to see another county "do a Sussex"

How many test matches do Ireland play? And how many do England?

What do you reckon the respective pay rates are? Why does Morgan play for England? Come to think of it, why do Stokes, Archer and Roy play for England?

It's not a good state of affairs. International cricket is in a sorry mess because everything is loaded in favour of three teams who have a financial clout that the others can only dream of. New Zealand are punching way, way above their weight right now but I don't think that will last and the long term future isn't good unless something changes
