Derbyshire End Five-Year Championship Drought at Derby with 10-Wicket Win

Derbyshire End Five-Year Championship Drought at Derby with 10-Wicket Win

By August 25, 2024 0

Derbyshire’s long-awaited victory at their County Ground headquarters finally arrived as they comprehensively defeated Glamorgan by 10 wickets in the Vitality County Championship Division Two match at Derby.

After bowling Glamorgan out for 287 on the fourth morning, Derbyshire needed just 27 runs to secure their first Championship win at Derby in five years. Luis Reece and Harry Came took less than seven overs to complete the task, giving Derbyshire their first Championship victory anywhere since July 2022.

Glamorgan had made Derbyshire wait, with Mason Crane and Dan Douthwaite adding 47 from 136 balls for the eighth wicket. However, former Glamorgan captain David Lloyd broke the stand, and with rain looming, Derbyshire knew they needed to take the last three wickets quickly.

Crane and Douthwaite frustrated Derbyshire initially, but Lloyd’s offspin proved decisive. Crane was trapped lbw for 28, and Douthwaite was bowled for 25, leaving Derbyshire on the brink of victory.

Reece then sealed the win with two consecutive fours off Sam Northeast, giving Derbyshire their first Championship win at Derby since August 2019.

Derbyshire’s victory was built on a strong bowling performance, with Zak Chappell taking 6-47 in Glamorgan’s first innings. Luis Reece also impressed with 3-43, while Jack Morley claimed 3-46 in the second innings.

For Glamorgan, Nick van der Gugten top-scored with 46* in the first innings, while Kiran Carlson and Colin Ingram made half-centuries in the second innings. However, their efforts were not enough to prevent Derbyshire from securing a much-needed victory.

By August 23, 2024 0

Derbyshire’s batting prowess was on full display on day two of their Vitality County Championship Division Two clash against Glamorgan at Derby, as they amassed a formidable 429 runs in their first innings. Anuj Dal led the charge with a commanding 94, while Harry Came (84) and Wayne Madsen (70) also made significant contributions.

Glamorgan’s bowlers struggled to contain Derbyshire’s batsmen, with Ben Kellaway claiming his maiden first-class wickets (3 for 59) and Mason Crane taking 3 for 43. However, Zak Chappell’s unbeaten 47* helped Derbyshire extend their lead to 261 before they were eventually bowled out.

In response, Glamorgan faced a tricky 12 overs before the close of play and managed to survive without losing a wicket, reaching 39 for 0. Billy Root and Kellaway (46*) held firm, leaving Glamorgan still 222 runs behind heading into day three.

The day’s play was characterized by excellent batting conditions, with the County Ground bathed in sunshine. Came and Madsen resumed their innings overnight and continued to dominate Glamorgan’s attack, putting on a 130-run partnership. Came missed out on a century when he was caught by Kellaway, but Madsen reached his 50 off 88 balls.

David Lloyd and Anuerin Donald then came together and looked to accelerate the scoring, with Donald hitting a six off Dan Douthwaite. However, Kellaway dismissed Donald shortly before lunch, taking a fine catch at leg slip.

After the interval, Lloyd closed in on a half-century before Crane dismissed him with a clever delivery that spun between bat and pad. Chappell and Dal then shared a 67-run stand, with Dal reaching his 50 with a straight drive off Ned Leonard.

Derbyshire batted on for another 18 overs after tea, giving Dal a chance to reach a century. However, he fell short when he was caught at long-off by Crane.

Glamorgan faced a challenging period before the close of play, but Kellaway and Root held firm to provide some comfort. The match remains finely poised, with Derbyshire holding a significant advantage but Glamorgan still in contention.

By August 22, 2024 0

Derbyshire’s hopes of securing an elusive County Championship victory at Derby received a major boost on the opening day of their Division Two match against Glamorgan, thanks to a devastating bowling performance from Zak Chappell.

Chappell, who has now taken over 50 wickets in all formats this season, wreaked havoc on Glamorgan’s top order, claiming 6 for 47. The visitors were bowled out for a paltry 168, with only Timm van der Gugten (46*) offering any resistance.

Derbyshire’s decision to bowl first on a grassy pitch paid immediate dividends, with Chappell and Luis Reece reducing Glamorgan to 9 for 3 within the first five overs. Ben Kellaway, Billy Root, and Sam Northeast all fell cheaply, leaving the visitors in disarray.

Dan Douthwaite and van der Gugten led a mini-recovery, adding 55 runs for the seventh wicket. However, Chappell returned to remove Douthwaite, and Mason Crane and Fraser Sheat also departed cheaply.

Ned Leonard helped van der Gugten take Glamorgan past 150, but the visitors were eventually bowled out for 168.

In reply, Derbyshire closed on 119 for 2, with Harry Came not out on 58. Wayne Madsen contributed an unbeaten 41, and the hosts are well-placed to push for their first Championship victory at the County Ground since August 2019.

Douthwaite’s Heroics Lead Glamorgan to One-Day Cup Final

By August 18, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s Dan Douthwaite emerged as a match-winning hero, guiding his team to a 39-run victory over Warwickshire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup semi-final at Sophia Gardens.

Douthwaite’s all-round performance was crucial in securing Glamorgan’s berth in the final at Trent Bridge next month. Batting first, Glamorgan found themselves in early trouble at 44 for 4, but Douthwaite’s lusty 55, including four towering sixes, propelled them to a respectable total of 247 for 9. Colin Ingram (47) and Billy Root (46) also contributed valuable runs.

Warwickshire’s chase got off to a shaky start as Douthwaite’s bowling removed Chris Benjamin and Kai Smith cheaply. Timm van der Gugten and Jamie McIlroy chipped in with wickets, while tight fielding and disciplined bowling kept the pressure on the visitors.

Michael Burgess provided some resistance for Warwickshire, reaching a half-century with a flurry of sixes. However, his dismissal triggered a collapse, and despite some late resistance from Michael Booth, Warwickshire fell short of the target by 40 runs.

Douthwaite’s match-winning performance was a testament to his versatility and determination. His aggressive batting and incisive bowling played a pivotal role in Glamorgan’s victory.

Glamorgan Secure Home Semi-Final with 62-Run Victory over Yorkshire

By August 14, 2024 0

Glamorgan secured a home semi-final berth in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup with a commanding 62-run victory over Yorkshire Vikings at Sophia Gardens. The Welsh county’s sixth win in eight matches propelled them to the top of Group B.

Former Yorkshire player Billy Root played a pivotal role for Glamorgan, scoring a solid 66 against his brother Joe’s county. His crucial 56-run partnership with Timm van der Gugten for the ninth wicket helped the home side reach a competitive total of 230 for 9 in a rain-reduced 47-over match.

Yorkshire’s spin attack, led by Dom Bess and Dan Moriarty, kept the Glamorgan batters in check, conceding only 94 runs in their combined 20 overs. Moriarty claimed three wickets for 47 runs. Van der Gugten, who finished unbeaten on 34, provided Glamorgan with a perfect start by dismissing Harry Duke with the first ball of the Yorkshire reply.

Yorkshire’s batting collapsed to 11 for 3 as Noah Kelly and William Luxton were both clean bowled. Skipper Jonny Tattersall provided some stability with a half-century, but a burst of three wickets in 12 balls by Andy Gorvin turned the game in Glamorgan’s favor.

With the required run rate climbing above six per over, Bess attempted to accelerate but was caught for 22. Spinner Ben Kellaway claimed two wickets, one with his left arm and the other with his right. Yorkshire were eventually dismissed for 168, falling 62 runs short of their target.

Handscomb Century Rescues Leicestershire, Keeps Knockout Hopes Alive

Handscomb Century Rescues Leicestershire, Keeps Knockout Hopes Alive

By August 11, 2024 0

Leicestershire’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup received a major boost as they defeated previously unbeaten Glamorgan by nine runs. Australian international Peter Handscomb played a pivotal role in the victory, rescuing Leicestershire from a precarious position with a superb century.

Chasing a target of 272, Glamorgan’s pursuit was hampered by the loss of both openers in the first nine overs. Colin Ingram’s top score of 68 kept the Welsh side in contention, but a career-best 61 from Dan Douthwaite ultimately proved insufficient.

Leicestershire’s innings had also been far from straightforward. After losing five wickets for just 59 runs, Handscomb and Liam Trevaskis combined for a crucial 103-run partnership. Handscomb’s 103 off 91 balls proved to be the backbone of Leicestershire’s total, while Trevaskis contributed 47 with the bat and 4 for 54 with the ball.

Glamorgan’s hopes were dealt a significant blow when Ingram was dismissed by Trevaskis with 75 runs still required. Douthwaite’s valiant effort kept the contest alive, but Roman Walker’s three wickets in quick succession sealed the victory for Leicestershire.

The result leaves Leicestershire on 10 points, one behind Glamorgan and Warwickshire. Both Glamorgan and Warwickshire have already secured quarter-final berths, while Leicestershire’s fate will be determined in their final group match against Gloucestershire.
