What’s to be done with inglorious Glamorgan?

- Neville Francis Abergwili, Carmarthen

BETWEEN 2014 and 2017 Glamorgan’s record was utterly abysmal. The only highlight was reaching the 2017 T20 Finals.

During this period Glamorgan played 53 County Championsh­ip matches and won only 13. It played 32 one-day matches, also winning only 13. The T20 results were a little better, playing 56 matches and winning 28.

The 2018 season’s results to date, however, are even worse. The team has played 11 County Championsh­ip matches, winning only one, and played eight one-day matches, also winning only one. The T20 record is marginally better with a 50% success rate.

With such a poor record isn’t it time to address the following problems: a) Should the head coach be sacked? b) Should there be a change of personnel in the club’s management? c) Will the newly formed board take full responsibi­lity for the poor performanc­es and take the appropriat­e action to rectify the situation?

Can anyone remember when Glamorgan last played a full fourday County Championsh­ip match that was not weather affected? Glamorgan used to boast that it not only a represente­d a county, but also a country. What a shame that it continues to let not only the country down, but its most valuable asset – its membership.
