looking at our line up, I imagine that Smith must have an injury or needs a rest, because Harte at 3 feels optimistic

I also note that Axar is in, and that we have such confidence in him that we've dropped a seamer

Colly doesn't bowl much these days, so we must be planning to use Harte to provide rest periods for the seamers

Smith missed a couple of T20's a short time ago with an injury so perhaps he's not quite ready for a 4 day game.

Bowling first following a delayed start. Smith and Coughlin are the two who miss out.
Conditions must be very bowler friendly and the Glamorgan lineup looks fragile ... so which batsman will score a century?!

perm one from about 6, probably

who has a batting average of 18?

It'll be him

Jack Murphy could be a candidate - averages 22 with 1 half century from 24 innings and a best of 73 not out.

ah... but is his contract up for renewal?

Murphy isn't hanging around either.... he has every single one of Glammy's 17 runs and he's going at over 4 an over

Out just now. I knew he wouldn't last long.

aye..... too fast out of the blocks

18/2 now.

Glammy being a bit more circumspect now

[Durhamfootman]

but it isn't doing them much good

26-3

doubtless they'll have to try and see these two off and hope that first (and second) change offer them something a bit more helpful

[Durhamfootman]

did we take an early lunch?

it would be nice to think we could let Rushy and Salisbury have a rest and then start again

Been a bit of a find, has Matt Salisbury

Good news for us is that I think lunch is at 13.30 so Rushworth and Salisbury will have a rest.
