First up Northants
https://www.glamorgancricket.com/cricket/news/2019/april/trio-set-for-championsh
I think we'll be more competitive this season but no doubt plenty of highs and lows (reminds me off another sporting side I follow)
Excited about Billy Root and the timeless Hogan and Wagg will keep us going.
Hopefully the new signings will add to our team and get us RUNS!!!!

The powers that be have treated the Country Championship with contempt by playing the last round of games in late September, the weather was always going to be a major factor.
Another nail in the four day coffin. |  |

These final games couldn't have worked out better for an exciting end to the season, if only they'd been played in early Sept ... But as you say the powers to be have totally shite on this years Championship.
Durham v Glamorgan
Gloucs v Northants
Somerset v Essex
It now looks virtually impossible for Glam to get the points they need for promotion, but they have committed cricket suicide since Marnus Labuschagne left to play in the Ashes. Talk about a one man team.
This was their best chance of promotion for many years, with this one off ... 3 teams being promoted. [Post edited 25 Sep 2019 12:02]

Indeed, but that doesn't make it right though, a long season that ends in the last week of September is ridiculous. By all means let the "baseball" have its day too but work it around the Country Championship instead of suspending the four day format for a month, even if that means starting the T20 in April | |

September weather is normally pretty good you only have to look at last week but its cricket and unfortunately the British weather never sticks to script.
I'm with the ecb on this one I don't think you can really juggle 3 formats without upset someone and don't forget 20/20 is making money
Isn't cricket great though 3 different formats how many other sports can boast that major ones anyway | | | |

Billy Root will have learned a lot. I think if he can improve he'll be a great player for us. | | | |

The only glimmer is if Durham play ball Glamorgan bowl them out and both teams reach an agreement ie Glamorgan forfeit first innings or something on those lines
Then we need Gloucestershire game to be rained off  | | | |

Well another mixed season. Disaster in the T20 and total implosion after we lost Labuschagne.
I don't think Maynard is going to stay and I feel we haven't a budget to attract the 2-3 "star" names, so you can't blame him for wanting to move to a more ambitious club/county.
We aren't going to attract many high profile coaches either due to the same limited budget reasons.
It's admirable to give Welsh talent a chance but some aren't up to this standard.
I'd like to see Samit Patel join us permanently, especially as Notts have been relegated.
I do hope we see the end of Wagg and Hogan, they've been great servants but father time has been very fair to them until now.
Youngsters need regular games and to feel they are part of a team not just makeshift replacements when form dips of the senior players. | | | |

I don't know how long Hogan has got left, but at 38 he's been our top bowler ... Played 11 out of 14 matches, taking 46 wickets @ 21.17.
Wagg has been a huge disappointment, playing in10 matches, taking only 17 wickets @ 36.00.
I don't know if Douthwaite is injured, but he seems to have disappeared from the 4 day game!!
I agree it went tits up once Labuschagne left, but we really need to sort out some reliable opening batsmen for next season. Patel would be a great addition to the squad.
Finishing 4th was disappointing, but a huge improvement on finishing bottom last season. Maynard's position looked dodgy when they gave him the title "Glamorgan interim head coach" at the start of the season, and his interview today doesn't bode well for next season.
He said ... "When you're unsure you've got to look for other jobs and I've put my name out there for a couple of other jobs, so we'll see what comes of that. I've been approached to apply for a couple of jobs, which I've done. I've sent my CV off within the last month. There's no certainties in cricket and it's up to other people to judge how well I've done and how the team's played."  [Post edited 26 Sep 2019 19:40]
