• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

The experiment of having a No 8 batsman in Salter as an opening bat, looks doomed to failure - especially on these early season wickets.

Glam 67/7

What's the story with Salter? Has he just been given a bit of extra batting coaching then been chucked in as opener? He's never struck me as consistent enough to bat at 2.

2 games at Neath this season 17th &19th August. Nowt at St. Helen's but I always enjoy a visit to Neath.
Anyone else?

I’ll be there!

Well weather depending.

And assuming I can be off work.

And the missus ain’t working.

Or I’ve got a babysitter.

And the trains are running.

And my gout hasn’t flared up.

Looking forward to it!
 
This typifies Glamorgan over many years doesn’t it.

We score a superb victory over notts last week but are brought back down to earth with a terrible performance, so far, against Middlesex. I feel we’re that kind of team at the moment, similar to the swans, in the sense that we can be brilliant one week and awful the next.

There’s no doubt in my mind that we aren’t far away from a top quality side but the salter experiment up top appears a bit naive now, moreover because we’re playing Taylor, another ‘spinning all rounder’ at 7. Do we need 2 right arm off spinners in the team at this stage in the season? IMHO we should be playing one of salter or Taylor at 7 with one of Cullen, j Cooke or douthwaite (whoever’s in form) given the opportunity to open, they are considered stronger batsmen after all.

Peace, Mr T.
 
Almost there! I think that the Glamorgan players are trying to get to watch the Swans this afternoon. 9 wkts down.🙄
 
Yes a poor result, we can't back wins up....sounds very familiar..... however our record against Middlesex is like Wales v NZ in rugby.

Maynard was speaking on radio Wales and paid a lot of credit to their bowlers.
 
I was quite excited to see Glamorgan had battled back v Derbyshire and were 112-1. I checked the scorecard, assuming poor old Salter would be the lost wicket. And he was. Run out for 29. The lad can't catch a break, it seems.
 
Derby. 368

Glam 240/4

It's like watching the Swans. Derby can't buy a wicket, and give the ball to a bowler who's only bowled 16 overs in the last 7 years.

Voila, he gets Northeast in his first over.
 
Derbyshire 287/2 second time round, must be a decent wicket for batting.
