Glamorgan Snatch Thrilling Derby Win Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup

Glamorgan Snatch Thrilling Derby Win Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup

By July 26, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s nail-biting 27-run victory over Gloucestershire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup was a testament to the resilience and determination of the Welsh county. Despite a shaky start, Glamorgan rallied behind a brilliant half-century from Ben Kellaway and a superb bowling performance from Dan Douthwaite to secure their first win of the tournament.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Glamorgan found themselves in early trouble as Gloucestershire’s bowlers exploited the seam movement on offer. Openers Josh Shaw and Ajeet Singh Dale made the most of the conditions, dismissing Will Smale and Eddie Byrom cheaply. However, a 49-run partnership between Kiran Carlson and Billy Root provided some stability before both batsmen fell in quick succession.

With Glamorgan reeling at 99 for 5, it was left to Kellaway and debutant Asa Tribe to rebuild the innings. Kellaway played a crucial role, hitting a composed 65 not out to guide his team to a respectable total of 187 for 8. His partnerships with Tribe, Douthwaite, and Timm van der Gugten were vital in ensuring Glamorgan batted the full allocation of overs.

Gloucestershire’s chase began in a similar fashion to Glamorgan’s innings, with Van der Gugten and Jamie McIlroy claiming early wickets. However, James Bracey’s brilliance kept the visitors in the contest. The former England keeper played a lone hand, scoring a magnificent 86 off 79 balls.

With Gloucestershire needing just 31 runs from the final six overs, the match seemed to be slipping away from Glamorgan. However, Douthwaite and Andy Gorvin combined to trigger a dramatic collapse. Douthwaite dismissed Bracey for 86, while Gorvin claimed three wickets in quick succession. Gloucestershire were eventually bowled out for 160, handing Glamorgan a thrilling victory.

Douthwaite’s four-wicket haul and Gorvin’s three-wicket burst were crucial in securing the win for Glamorgan. Kellaway’s half-century and the contributions of Tribe, Douthwaite, and Van der Gugten were also instrumental in the victory.

Glamorgan Crush Sussex with Gorvin's Career-Best Haul

Glamorgan Crush Sussex with Gorvin’s Career-Best Haul

By May 12, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s dominance continued in the Vitality County Championship as they secured a resounding nine-wicket victory over Sussex, thanks to a stellar bowling performance led by Andy Gorvin.

Resuming on 411, Glamorgan’s innings ended swiftly with a run-out, setting Sussex a target of 245. However, the Sussex batting lineup crumbled under the pressure of Glamorgan’s relentless bowling attack.

Mir Hamza initiated the Sussex collapse, claiming three wickets in quick succession. Andy Gorvin then took over, dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara and John Simpson in his first over. Despite a valiant partnership between James Coles and Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Sussex’s hopes were dashed by Gorvin’s career-best figures of 5-40.

Hudson-Prentice’s 70 and Coles’ 61* provided some resistance, but Glamorgan’s bowlers remained relentless. Mason Crane and Gorvin wrapped up the Sussex innings, leaving Glamorgan with a modest target of 56.

Billy Root led Glamorgan’s chase with an unbeaten 36, guiding his team to victory in just 7.5 overs. The win marked Glamorgan’s first County Championship triumph since May 2023, earning them 23 points. Sussex managed only four bonus points in the contest.

Gorvin’s exceptional performance was the cornerstone of Glamorgan’s success. His ability to generate late movement proved too much for the Sussex batters, who struggled to cope with his variations.

Glamorgan’s victory is a testament to their resilience and determination. After a disappointing start to the season, they have bounced back with two consecutive wins, demonstrating their potential to challenge for the County Championship title.

Glamorgan Bowlers Restrict Sussex to 278 on Day One

Glamorgan Bowlers Restrict Sussex to 278 on Day One

By May 10, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s bowlers put in a commendable performance on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash against Sussex, restricting the visitors to 278 all out despite a late-order fightback.

James Harris and Mir Hamza shared eight wickets between them, with Hamza claiming three in a devastating 18-ball spell that saw Sussex collapse from 131 for 3 to 136 for 5.

Sussex’s innings was characterized by a series of starts but no substantial scores, with Fynn Hudson-Prentice’s 48 the highest contribution. The Cardiff pitch proved challenging for batsmen, with several wickets falling to deliveries that took the edge or bounced awkwardly.

After a solid start from openers Tom Clark and Tom Haines, Sussex lost wickets in clusters, with Hamza and Harris exploiting the variable bounce and pace of the surface. Cheteshwar Pujara, who has struggled against Glamorgan in the past, made a promising 41 before falling to Hamza’s seam bowling.

Jack Carson and Hudson-Prentice steadied the innings with a 66-run partnership, but Harris’s dismissal of Hudson-Prentice triggered another collapse. Sussex’s tail-enders, led by Ari Karvelas and Jayden Seales, added valuable runs to take the visitors past 250 and secure a bonus point.

Glamorgan’s bowlers were supported by some sloppy fielding, with Karvelas dropped twice before finishing unbeaten on 39. However, the hosts managed to claim the final wicket with just six overs remaining in the day, with Andy Gorvin dismissing Seales to end Sussex’s innings.

Glamorgan faced six overs before the close and lost one wicket, with Eddie Byrom falling lbw to Karvelas for 12. The hosts will resume their innings on day two with a deficit of 257 runs and will be looking to build a solid foundation to put pressure on Sussex.

Yorkshire Push for Victory as Glamorgan Struggle at Headingley

Yorkshire Push for Victory as Glamorgan Struggle at Headingley

By May 5, 2024 0

Yorkshire continued their dominance over Glamorgan on day three of their Vitality County Championship clash at Headingley, extending their lead to 127 runs. Joe Root, who resumed on 92 overnight, completed a superb 156, while Fin Bean’s 173 helped Yorkshire post an imposing 519 for seven declared.

Glamorgan’s depleted bowling attack struggled to contain Yorkshire’s batsmen, with Root and Bean sharing a 265-run partnership for the third wicket. Harry Brook added 65, including two sixes, before Mason Crane sparked the declaration with a five-wicket haul.

Despite batting on a deteriorating pitch, Glamorgan’s openers Eddie Byrom and Joe Root started their second innings brightly, sharing 56 inside 18 overs. However, both fell either side of tea, and Kiran Carlson was unfortunate to be run out.

Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram steadied the ship for Glamorgan, reaching 46 and 43 respectively at the close of play. However, they will need to significantly build on their 78-run partnership to give Glamorgan a chance of avoiding defeat.

Billy Root Half-Century Against Brother Joe's Yorkshire in Rain-Hit Opener

Billy Root Half-Century Against Brother Joe’s Yorkshire in Rain-Hit Opener

By May 3, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s Billy Root, the younger brother of England Test captain Joe Root, made a half-century against his sibling’s Yorkshire side on the rain-affected opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash at Headingley.

Billy Root, a left-handed opener, scored a measured 51 off 95 balls before lunch, helping Glamorgan reach 109 for four from 41 overs after electing to bat first. However, rain forced a three-and-a-half-hour delay from 1.45pm, and Yorkshire struck twice quickly in the delayed evening session. Bad light then meant no play beyond 6pm.

Yorkshire, desperate for their first win in five matches, opted to play two frontline spinners in Dan Moriarty and Dom Bess on the pitch used for last weekend’s draw against Derbyshire. Both bowlers claimed a wicket apiece in the morning session, with Moriarty dismissing Billy Root caught at short-leg just before lunch.

Earlier, Yorkshire seamer Matthew Coad trapped Eddie Byrom lbw for 18, leaving Glamorgan 18 for one. Billy Root and captain Sam Northeast then put on a 74-run stand, with Root driving nicely against seam and sweeping and reverse sweeping against spin. Northeast went on to make 29 before being run out in the evening.

The Root brothers have faced each other three times previously in county cricket, with Billy playing for either Nottinghamshire or Glamorgan. In the build-up to this game, Joe Root described the experience as a “horrible situation.” However, both have performed well against each other in the past.

In the two Championship matches they played in early 2021, Billy scored a century at Headingley and Joe a 99 at Cardiff. In this fixture, Joe Root dropped a tough first slip catch off Coad with Billy on six.

When play resumed at 5.30pm following afternoon rain, Northeast was run out backing up two balls into the delayed evening, leaving Glamorgan at 96 for three in the 34th over. Matthew Fisher got a hand on a crisp Kiran Carlson drive and deflected it onto the stumps.

Bess then had Carlson caught and bowled off an inside-edge with the first ball of his second over, his first of the session – 97 for four. Moriarty finished with one for 29 from 15 overs and Bess one for 14 from four.

Both sides are searching for their first win of 2024. While Yorkshire have drawn three and lost one, Glamorgan have drawn all three and came into this fixture bottom of the embryonic Division Two table.

The day’s play was preceded by a minute’s silence in memory of Worcestershire spinner Josh Baker, whose death at the age of 20 was announced on Thursday.

Nair's Double Ton Powers Northamptonshire to Commanding Position

Nair’s Double Ton Powers Northamptonshire to Commanding Position

By April 21, 2024 0

Northamptonshire’s batting prowess was on full display as they amassed a mammoth 605 for 6 declared against Glamorgan in their Vitality County Championship Division Two encounter. Karun Nair’s unbeaten double century (202*) was the cornerstone of their innings, while Ricardo Vasconcelos (182) and Saif Zaib (100*) also made significant contributions.

Nair, a former India Test player, showcased his class with a masterful 253-ball knock, anchoring Northamptonshire’s innings. He shared a crucial 212-run partnership with Zaib, who registered his maiden century of the season. Vasconcelos, who resumed on 166, missed out on a double hundred but played a pivotal role in setting the platform for their imposing total.

Glamorgan’s bowlers struggled to contain Northamptonshire’s batting onslaught. Mir Hamza dismissed Vasconcelos, while Brad Wheal accounted for George Bartlett. James Harris trapped James Sales leg before, but Zaib’s arrival injected fresh impetus into the innings.

Zaib played with aggression, hitting boundaries off Harris and Mason Crane. He was dropped on 71 and again on 99, but eventually fell for 100 in Crane’s next over. Nair continued to punish the Glamorgan attack, reaching his double century and prompting Northamptonshire captain Luke Procter to declare.

In response, Glamorgan reached 104 for 3 at stumps, still trailing by 230 runs. Billy Root and Ul Hassan provided a solid start, but Northamptonshire’s bowlers made inroads. Raphy Weatherall dismissed Ul Hassan, while Zaib and Ben Sanderson accounted for Root and Sam Northeast respectively.

With persistent showers forecast for Monday, Glamorgan’s hopes of salvaging a result may rest on the weather. However, Northamptonshire will be confident of pushing for victory, given their substantial first-innings advantage.

Sanderson Stars as Glamorgan Fight Back at Wantage Road

Sanderson Stars as Glamorgan Fight Back at Wantage Road

By April 20, 2024 0

Northamptonshire’s bowlers, led by evergreen seamer Ben Sanderson, made the most of the new Dukes ball on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash against Glamorgan at Wantage Road. Despite Glamorgan slumping to 27 for 4, Colin Ingram led a spirited fightback with an unbeaten 69 off 110 balls, guiding the visitors to 203 for 7 at the close.

Sanderson’s probing line and length proved unplayable at times, claiming three wickets. He was ably supported by Australian international Chris Tremain and England Under-19 Raphy Weatherall, who also took two wickets each. The Northamptonshire bowlers exploited the atmospheric conditions, which aided movement through the air and off the seam.

Glamorgan’s top order struggled against the disciplined bowling, with Zain-ul-Hassan, Billy Root, and Sam Northeast all falling cheaply. However, Ingram played a pivotal role in rebuilding the innings, first with Chris Cooke (28) and then with Dan Douthwaite (50). Ingram’s crisp attacking shots and solid defense kept Glamorgan in the game.

Douthwaite’s bustling 50 came off just 63 balls, and he formed a crucial sixth-wicket partnership of 74 with Ingram. The pair took the attack to the Northamptonshire bowlers, scoring boundaries at a steady rate. However, Douthwaite’s innings ended when he was trapped leg before wicket by Weatherall.

Ingram continued to anchor the Glamorgan innings, reaching his second consecutive half-century of the season. He found support from Mason Crane (17), who ensured no further scares for the visitors.

Before the start of play, a minute’s silence was observed in memory of former Northamptonshire captain Raman Subba Row CBE, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 92.

Glamorgan Set Derbyshire 401 to Win, Cooke Stars with Unbeaten Century

Glamorgan Set Derbyshire 401 to Win, Cooke Stars with Unbeaten Century

By April 14, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s dominance continued on day three of their Vitality County Championship clash against Derbyshire, setting a formidable target of 401 for the visitors. Chris Cooke’s unbeaten 126 anchored Glamorgan’s innings, supported by James Harris’ 61* and Dan Douthwaite’s 32.

Derbyshire’s bowlers struggled to contain Glamorgan’s batsmen, with only Sam Conners managing to break through. Mason Crane, who had come in as a nightwatchman, provided some resistance with a 45-run stand with Colin Ingram. However, Ingram’s run-out and Douthwaite’s dismissal to Thomson’s bowling paved the way for Cooke and Harris to consolidate Glamorgan’s position.

Cooke, who missed out on batting during Glamorgan’s record-breaking efforts at Lord’s, made the most of his opportunity, reaching his 13th first-class century. Harris joined him in a 116-run partnership, eclipsing the previous highest stand of the match.

Thomson, who had taken five wickets in the first innings, continued to be a threat, finishing with career-best match figures of 12 for 201. However, Glamorgan’s declaration set Derbyshire a daunting target.

In the 12 overs bowled before the close, Derbyshire reached 40 for one, with David Lloyd and Luis Reece unbeaten. With the ball still turning on the pitch, much will depend on Mason Crane’s performance on the final day. Glamorgan will need nine wickets to secure victory, while Derbyshire faces an uphill battle to chase down the target.

Alex Thomson's Career-Best Seven Wickets Restricts Glamorgan to 237

Alex Thomson’s Career-Best Seven Wickets Restricts Glamorgan to 237

By April 13, 2024 0

Derbyshire’s Alex Thomson delivered a career-defining performance on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash against Glamorgan in Cardiff, claiming a remarkable seven wickets to restrict the hosts to 237 all out.

Thomson’s exceptional bowling display justified Derbyshire’s decision to insert Glamorgan into bat on a sunny day. The New Zealand international Blair Tickner also played a crucial role, dismissing Billy Root and Sam Northeast early on.

Glamorgan’s top scorer was Kiran Carlson, who contributed a valuable 74. However, regular wickets throughout the day prevented the home side from building substantial partnerships. The highest partnership they managed was 60 between Carlson and Zain-ul-Hassan.

As the Glamorgan innings progressed, Thomson’s spin bowling became increasingly effective. He induced a flashy drive from Colin Ingram, had Chris Cooke brilliantly caught at leg slip, and dismissed Dan Douthwaite with a low catch off his own bowling.

Thomson’s relentless pressure continued, as he bowled James Harris for just 4 and Mason Crane for 13. His 7 for 65 surpassed his previous career best of 6 for 138 and became the best return for a Derbyshire spinner since Geoff Miller’s 8 for 70 in 1982.

Derbyshire faced 16 overs before the close, reaching 46 for 1. Luis Reece was the only batsman dismissed, leaving Derbyshire 191 runs behind Glamorgan.

The pitch at Cardiff suggests that this match could be a closely contested affair. Derbyshire will be buoyed by Thomson’s heroics, while Glamorgan will need to find a way to counter his spin threat.
