Valiant effort. Hard luck ZZ.

I might have a celebratory beer tonight.

Hopefully we invited Northants in for a massive booze up at the end of the game and they’re not trying any more. 100 partnership for the 7th is no mean feat.

I’m happy to say that Gloucester are now guaranteed a draw. Glamorgan must win and pick up 7 bonus points. They already have 2. Edit: I’m not sure what happens if we end tied for points.

Losing Howell was a big miss too. We’ve done well whatever... we must just see this one out!

Am I right in thinking that Glamorgan couldn’t afford to forfeit an innings because they wouldn’t be able to get any bonus points for batting? Shouldn’t have to feel so nervous. cant help it though.

You can’t declare? Or can’t score bonus points?

Right... correct me if I’m wrong; Glamorgan (8 wickets taken) are currently 2 points up on Glos (no batting points). Gloucester had a 16 point advantage. (Which has been cut to 14 points at the moment.) if Gloucester draw they get five points. You’d be hard pressed not to see Gloucester draw with tomorrow’s forecast and only 4 sessions to play. that means in order to overtake Gloucester, Glamorgan need to score 22 points in total (provided that Gloucester score no bonus points). this requires them to score 350+ if Durham declare immediately or 300+ if they bowl Durham out. I wonder what the Glos dressing room are thinking if play starts again? declare and aim for bowling bonus points? Or secure the draw first?

God bless the Durham tail!

Does it? I hope not for Gloucesters sake.

I think Durham have done enough on day one to ensure it’ll be a draw when rain is taken into account. we could do with some bowling points!

No way. If it’s going to rain anywhere, it’s going to rain in Durham. Get dancing!

Three.

Disappointed for Somerset. Anyone able to work out what Gloucester need to get promoted?

Sat down here at Worcs to be surrounded by gas. I moved. Glos cruising.

12,000 that’s a good effort.

Best. Cider. Ever.

Never mind that Fordy. Why didn’t you warn future Fordy to just stick with one child. You know he’ll go and do something stupid like have three!

And this is the way I feel about Somerset too. Isn’t it nice we can be like that.

Ordinarily I like this thread. I think Rag Bag Rovers actually did themselves some credit by releasing that statement. Now that’s over with, can we have some more embarrassing photos from their ground etc please. I liked those.

6 off the last ball for another Gloucester win!

Wow. Again.

Wow. Brilliant.

I’d have given it to be honest.

I’m annoyed on your behalf at that run out.
