It’s horses for courses.
I spoke to a fellow yesterday who knows I follow cricket but has never shown any interest himself. A friend of his got tickets to the eliminator at The Oval so he went along. He said it was very exciting, he thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely go to a 100 game again. He remarked how different it was to the ‘boring’ cricket that was on the BBC back in the day.
It’s definitely not for me but I can see the appeal for new audiences.
Disappointing.
6 down now, looks terminal
41 off the last 3 overs somewhat spoilt the earlier work of the bowlers.
248 to win
Whatever the outcome of the game 4 for 34 from his 10 overs (on the bounce) is a fantastic effort from Barnard. Shame Yates dropped Ingram to deny him his 5fer.
Yates and Shaikh return to the squad from Lions duty.

Wow!
Rhodes takes one big swing too many and falls on 75.
29 from 24
Well played young man.
Could we snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? It’s getting very interesting…….

Abandoned, no result.
We’ve been set a target of 155 from 18 @ 8.61 an over.
But it’s raining again….

What happens here? Presumably Glamorgan's target gets boosted a little on DLS. If Warwicks were then to only get, say, 12 overs to chase that previously inflated target is them pro-rated down again? Very complicated.
Luckily someone else will work that out for us. If they can’t get back on then a point might not be a bad result for us.
After an over that went for 18 the rain returns.
135/4 after 17
Start at 3:20pm
21 overs a side.
The covers are coming off, 3pm start time.
Warwickshire have signed 26 year old top order bat Zen Malik on a deal which runs to the end of 2026.
He represented England at under 19 level, has trialled prolifically at first class county second XI level recently scoring centuries in both innings for Glamorgan 2’s v Warwickshire 2’s and is averaging 104 for the competition.
Presumably a replacement for Rhodes.
Carried his bat, 150 up for Barny and he brings home the win in style.
Another decent knock from Benjamin.
Fantastic 100 for Barny, another captains knock after taking 3 wickets for not many earlier. Let’s hope he can bring them home.
