If this one is lost, 1/4 of our games will be gone in this competition and that might affect crowds which I think were down last year compared to 2024. We must start getting the confidence back that we had when finishing in a quarter-final place virtually every year.

Thank you Andy, I always struggle to find the ultimate link/prompt, etc that gets me the right place to get my ticket. I might just get them to print one off for me on Sunday when we are at home to Northamptonshire.

Do members need a ticket still, to get into the T20 game v Worcestershire in June.

Fewer matches in the T20 this season so it's really a case of too many cock-up's and you are gone. At 100 with 8 overs to go, we got a bit stuck, the boundary was far out on all sides but I lost count of the amount of times we hit the ball really hard and straight along the ground to a fielder on the boundary for a single and they managed to bisect our fielders so many times, maybe a bit of practice needed in placing the ball in gaps. The bowling looked poor and majorly disappointed as I sat there from 11.10 hoping for 2 good games and got none.

Is there some sort of mentality or maybe a 'Tornado Like' rush of blood to the head that makes batsmen with a seemingly straightforward task, suddenly think they need to get to the target as soon as they can. After a game like this, do they actually look at each other and say, "What did we do that for when it wasn't necessary". We have seen it before, for instance last year v Sussex in the 50-over game, yes, a lot closer than this but the same sort of situation where hard work is done and all that is needed are a few clear heads to make sure the game is done.

Total Shite or am I being too generous.

Just like that quarter final, why bother working it around, try and win it in 10 overs but at this rate it looks as though we won't win at all.

I would have settled for that at the start of the season, 2nd, 5 points behind Notts.

The rain hath arrived. getting 46 overs in after tea looks impossible and diminishes the chance for us to win as we lose overs. Seeing as we have been chasing the game since Saturday teatime, I think it wouldn't be so bad to get a draw. That would keep us in 3rd just behind Notts who appear to be struggling to get wickets. Good.

My headmaster at junior school did 'Teacher Training' with him, not sure exactly when. He was an amiable figure and the last time I saw him was when we waited for coaches just after the 2016 Royal London Cup Final. I had to tell one of the females who was waiting, who he was.

75 overs I would think but they will be able to have close catchers in for all of our innings. Can't think of any reason to have batted on for so long but if there actually is no rain, perhaps they fancy their chances. Hope we don't go crazy and try and do a 'Harry Brook' at every ball.

Not sure what Glamorgan's thinking is here, try and bat us out of it but be able to set attacking fields for the rest of the game. Cooke, van der Gugten, Norton and Crane have contributed 17 from 70 balls!

With the look of the forecast, I think they will declare. If we lost 20 overs, that would still give them time to bowl us out. It all depends on how much a captain will trust the weather. This morning on BBC TV Weather, it appeared to be fine but looking at 3 other forecasts, it didn't appear to be too optimistic in terms of rain. Either way, the conditions for bowling should be alright so it's all a case of how Carlson feels about his bowlers.

Forecast looks awful. If I had been their captain, I would have thrown the bat at everything once the lead was 220 and had a go tonight with the ball, not very nice for any batsmen and maybe 2-3 down overnight. Tomorrow would then be very nervy and a session might do it if the weather held out for 30 over, all hypothetical but a draw looks more likely.

78* in 13 overs from these 2 puts the earlier struggles into perspective.

I know what you mean, if the ground was near a shopping centre with some good shops, you could be happy there if there was a break in play. I am glad I am a reader as I always take 'The Cricketer' or 'Mojo' along to catch up on my mags.

Glad I didn't go, it looks awful there. Bleak and cold.

A poor day even though you have to give credit to Kellaway and Carson. Again we failed to bowl a side out when after the new ball was taken, it looked as though we would. Lots of moans where I was sitting about Gilchrist's bowling but we did feed them a few 'Pies' at times.

Weather forecast (Although it can change) looks poor for the last 2 days so it could be a case of fill yer boots with bonus points and wait for the rain to spoil things.

Bowling 4 overs every 3-4 days must be really taking it out of Archer, I remember watching Tim Munton bowling 35 overs in the game v Derbyshire at home and the day after that finished, we had another home game v Middlesex and on the 2nd day Munton bowled 30 consecutive overs from the start and took his sweater just before tea and the next day (3-day game) we won and he bowled another 22 overs. Is it just me who thinks it isn't bowlers but fussy, wimpy coaches who get out the cotton-wool too often when it comes to bowlers. in that Middlesex game, they had some wicketkeeper call Farbrace.
