Glamorgan nearly completed a thrilling victory at Derby on the final day of their LV=County Championship match against Derbyshire.
With all three results possible going into the final over, the Welsh county had been set a target of 331 runs from 55 overs after Derbyshire had ended their innings on 349/3. Glamorgan ended on 310-8 with Marnus Labuschagne making 85 and Sam Northeast 81 as the game ended in a draw.
The game was destined for a boring draw before our batters decided to take the game on, in what was a fantastic advert for the County game.
“It was a great finish,” said Sam Northeast,ย “Derbyshireย made a good declaration and we thought we had it in the bag at times so we’re slightly disappointed in the changing room because we were really close.
“But it was a good four days of cricket on a good pitch which played really well and credit to both sides who played good cricket. It wasn’t to be in the end but it was a good effort by the boys.”
