ALL OUT!!! What an excellent couple of sessions for our bowlers today TVDG and Crane end with 4 each, as Glamorgan have enforced thefollow-on Umpires have called for tea ahead of Hampshire’s 2nd innings
I’ve just made a number of cricket photos public in my Cricket album on Flickr.
Yes, they’re of dubious quality, usually quite distant, a little repetitive and need titles and descriptions adding but at least they’re some sort of record of matches attended 😄 🏏 📸
Unreasonably pleased with the performance of my Cricket Draft team in GW4 after a couple of dismal previous weeks. Still a lot of work to do - I’m even languishing near the bottom of my own league, Cow Corner 😆

Carlson 95, Dickson 90; Holland 2-19, Hull 2-70

The Glamorgan leg-spinner, who played a single Test at the end of the 2017/18 Ashes, says we always favour the seamers in this country
All’s well … sort of … the match ended in a draw although at on point CricViz switched to giving Glamorgan a 40% victory chance. Interesting, could have gone either way 🤔
Glamorgan 302 (Ingram 103) and 218-5 dec (Ingram 75, Carlson 53; Bess 4-87)
Yorkshire 226 (Revis 50; Crane 5-55) and 239-7 (Lyth 97; Hadley 3-35, Crane 3-99)
🔗 Glamorgan and Yorkshire play out pendulum-swinging draw
Tea Day 4. Yorkshire trail by 169 but have only lost 1 wicket. CricViz giving a 81% chance of a draw, 19% of a Yorkshire win 🏏
Getting a little worried that Glamorgan declared too early. Yorkshire scoring quite quickly 😬
On Saturday, Day 2 of the Glamorgan v Yorkshire match, I took an old digital camera (Olympus SZ-14) with me to the ground. The 24x optical zoom lens did give some slightly sharper and closer-up photos than my phone could provide. As a quick test of the camera I quite liked the some of the results.

As it stands before play starts today Glamorgan are 302ao and 111/3 after 45 overs of their 2nd innings. Yorkshire scored 226ao in their 1st innings.
According to the BBC, Crane five-for gives Glamorgan edge against Yorkshire. We’ll have to see!

The 2026 County Championship starts today 🏏
I hope to go to at least a day’s cricket at Sophia Gardens this long Easter weekend, but not today (Good Friday, 3rd April) because the weather forecast for Cardiff is potentially a little rainy!
Back to some cricket. The English County Championship starts in a few days - 3rd April, Good Friday - but the IPL 2026 started yesterday. The first match I’m going to watch has just started - Mumbai Indians v Kolkata Knight Riders 🏏
T20 World Cup Final - India beat New Zealand by 96 runs.
New Zealand 88-5 after 10 overs, so everything is going India’s way.
India 255-5 set New Zealand 256 to win. Not a good final over for New Zealand. Almost a repeat of the England semi-final but I don’t think New Zealand’s batting is as good. We’ll see.
New Zealand pulling it back a bit - India 211-4 after 17 overs.
India past 200 with 5 overs to go …
India 92-0 after the 6 over powerplay 👏
