Glamorgan v Derbyshire day 3


The weather looks like being the only winner in this game.


Unless, of course, Derbyshire produce an astonishing collapse that a late order revival cannot restore. You can never rule it out when you've been a fan as long as I have, but I'd hope that the fight that has been an encouraging part of the season so far is evident at the SWALEC tomorrow.


Having warned of gloom and doom in today's earlier blog, the third day was a return to form, with our South African diamond in prime form. In just short of seven overs, Champagne Charl took 5-22 to rip through the Glamorgan tail. There were also wickets for Jon Clare and Nayan Doshi as we ended only 95 behind on first innings that Rogers and Stubbings had reduced by four when lunch and the rains came.


The South African is proving an astute acquisition and his ability to find help in most tracks is a great asset to the side. If he stays fit all season who knows what may happen?
