The prospect of double helpings of domestic Twenty20 in 2010 must make Gloucestershire feel sick to the stomach.

Yesterday's six-wicket defeat to Glamorgan, propelled by Ben Wright and Tom Maynard, meant the good folk of Bristol had failed to see their side win at home in this year's competition.

Wright and Maynard piled on 97 runs to rescue a chase that lacked legs and overshadow David Brown's entertaining 56 from 35 balls earlier in the day.

Yet the Dragons had knocked off none of their 149-run target when Gareth Rees was trapped leg before by James Franklin for a second-ball duck.

Mark Wallace flicked Anthony Ireland to Steve Snell at deep square-leg in the third over, and he was quickly followed by Jamie Dalrymple when the visiting skipper sliced his shot off Ian Saxelby and Ireland took a steepling catch.

Glamorgan could not build any early momentum, Brown's day in the sun continuing when Mike Powell thick-edged to Hamish Marshall at backward point.

But Maynard put that right in conjunction with Wright, who clattered successive sixes off Gemaal Hussain on his way to a sumptuous half-century.

Marshall had perished in the fourth over of the day, attempting his trademark paddle over fine leg, as James Harris took a well-judged catch off Ryan Watkins.

Two balls later Kadeer Ali smacked Watkins straight to Maynard at midwicket, piling more pressure on a middle order that has faltered too often in this season's competition.

Precious little impetus had been added when returning Gloucestershire captain Alex Gidman fell at the start of the eighth over, stumped by Wallace off spinner Dean Cosker's first delivery, and only 40 runs were on the board at the midway point of the innings.

Franklin and Brown did not panic, running hard to compensate for a dearth of boundaries until the Lancastrian cut loose with six off Robert Croft's second over.

Brown surpassed that, launching Watkins into the top tier of temporary seating, and he reached a half-century off 32 balls. He departed after his third maximum of a fine knock, scooping Dalrymple to Maynard to end an 81-run stand with Franklin.

Adshead was bowled by Watkins but Franklin lingered until the penultimate over, when he failed to get hold of a swipe off Alex Wharf and was snared by Rees in the deep.

Dawson was last man out, cleaned up by Harris, though at least the cardinal sin of failing to use the full quota of deliveries was avoided.
