Mainly the normal 2nds team out today at Portland Road, for Glamorgan, but with a couple of interesting (new and fairly new) additions:-
Rhodes
Ethan B
Shaikh
Zen Malik
Theo Wylie
Maddy
Simmons
Josh Croom
Johal
Garrett
Ali

Zen Malik is a batsman (and part time leggie) from Stoke, who has turned out for Staffs, Worcester 2nds (last season) and Leicester 2nds, this. No big scores in either Seconds team, but considered to be a good prospect.

Josh Croom, I've talked about before. A genuine all rounder / spinner, with good figures with bat and ball at Minor Counties level for Wiltshire and Hampshire 2nds. He's in the Brum League this season for Berkswell.

Theo Wylie, I've also mentioned before. Very young, but another good all round prospect.

We won the toss and put Glamorgan in. Had them in loads of trouble at 71 for 6, but a big 7th wicket stand of 95, helped them to 183 for 9.

Simmons got absolutely belted - 2 overs for 42 (!) and the Captain, while getting 2 wickets, also went for over 11 an over.

Good figures for Croom (3 for 29) and Garrett (2 for 28), off their 4 overs and young Ali did well (1 for 24 off his 4). Johal got the other wicket (for 26 off 3).

Looks like the Bears fell a few runs short:

Maybe 41 off 39 balls from Rhodes wasn't quite fast enough and shows why he isn't a first team choice in T20.
