Glamorgan v Derbyshire

A meaningful first session became a veritable buffet of cafeteria bowling at Cardiff, where Tom Poynton led the Derbyshire wicket-takers in gifting Glamorgan runs that might let them win their game against all the odds.


160 in 37 overs was the target and I didn't really think it feasible on the last day with a turning track.

I’d hardly call the last day meaningful cricket though and it smacked of the sort of beer match played when the scheduled one finishes early at club level.

There was a brief spectre of defeat, but it was good to see Robin Peterson, in his last innings for us, get his head down with Dan Redfern, who will have enjoyed a match-saving knock after a difficult season.

So that's that. End of season reviews are imminent and should surface over the weekend.

Loads of nonsense on 606 tonight, with various counties fans crying 'fix', not entirely unsurprisingly, but star prize for stupidity goes to a perennial moaner named 'Phillip' who still moans about Essex beating us last year. Apparently, according to him, we're about to go bust.

Funny, since I'm about to become a millionaire.

That's not true either...

  3. We should have got 160 in 41 overs. If it were a 20/20 we might have got them. Why didn't we send big Stefan and Clare in early to give it a go?
