by ESPNcricinfo Live 7/3/2017 1:04:51 PM
Also our second best batsman hasn't even come to the crease yet, so Yorkshire should probably be worried

by Will 7/3/2017 1:04:48 PM
time for a Jim Allenby chanceless 100

by Will 7/3/2017 1:04:10 PM

About Glamorgan

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:02:32 PM
Well hope he does well

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 1:02:30 PM
@LordK Pretty much what George Dobell was saying in a recent switch hit

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 1:01:58 PM
@dez i think the birth records are highly dubious. There no way he's 16! @LAwrence, thats why birth records are effectively made up. The only people who know are the parents. He moved over here quite young i belive

by Lord K 7/3/2017 1:01:20 PM
Somerset have almost put on a 50 partnership

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 1:01:15 PM
Some nonense is more equal than others.

by Matt Warwick 7/3/2017 1:00:13 PM
Glamorgan really are a joke. Never get any crowds in, despite being in one of the largest UK cities, a side packed with Kolpaks/EU qualified players, despite them theoretically having a vast catchment area to choose from. People talk of getting rid of NOrthants or Derbyshire, but what have Glamorgan done for the national team in years?

by Lord K 7/3/2017 1:00:09 PM
Maybe its something to do with living in a permanent war zone!

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 12:59:53 PM
Young Jake.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 12:59:27 PM
@LordK - seems to be a thing with afghan spinners - Rashid Khan looks about 40 but is apparently 18!

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 12:59:20 PM
Willey, DeKock, Tongue, Head for starters

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 12:59:10 PM
Surely if people recognised nonsense Matt, they wouldn't be here?

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 12:59:07 PM
@BethWatson Well he was suppose to be playing for Australia A (if that is still happening) Yorkies going to be wowed by the batting talent of...Shaun Marsh

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 12:58:16 PM
Maybe Glamorgan should've stuck with van der Gugten opening the batting...

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 12:57:58 PM
I don't like the idea of banning things, I just wish more people read sensible publications instead and could recognise nonense.

by Matt Warwick 7/3/2017 12:57:37 PM
Could have a Carry On xi

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 12:57:34 PM
Derbyshire playing 3 spinners. interesting. The Afgahn lad, looks a great propsect but does anyone actually belive hes 16? his crows eyes suggest at least early 20's. Add in the sketchy records of DoB in Afghansitan where he was born, indicates its all a bit iffy. Much like the African age group fottball players knocking a few years off their age to play in youth tournaments. NOt knocking the player as he looks good, just the veracity of his age!

by Lord K 7/3/2017 12:57:25 PM
Always, Lawrence, always.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 12:57:02 PM
Wish the daily fail was banned!

Speaking of the Daily Mail, one headline does spring to mind.

by StaggerBreaths via Bulk2.destructoid 7/3/2017 12:55:21 PM
Just noticed Matt Critchley batting at 5 for Derbys, good young talent for them. He is a leg-spinner but seems to have developed his batting (clearly intelligent and knows what he needs to do to play for England).

by dez dezzy 7/3/2017 12:53:15 PM
Thank goodness Travis Head isn't over here...

by Beth Watson 7/3/2017 12:52:41 PM
A way of combining all three ;)

by Mark Ofield 7/3/2017 12:52:18 PM

:)

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 12:51:39 PM
They've already got Willey and de Kock, what more do they need?

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 12:51:39 PM
Tongue is a headline writers gift really going to be fun

by Mark Ofield 7/3/2017 12:51:00 PM
@LawrencePayne We have to amuse ourselves during those long winter days without cricket somehow...

by Beth Watson 7/3/2017 12:49:46 PM

Beth some sort of fetish? Tying up players and Tongue

by Lawrence Payne 7/3/2017 12:48:05 PM
@DavidHopps Great news for Worcs. Just need to tie down Moeen and Clarke now
