Glamorgan v Hampshire - County Championship Division Two - Day 1- Live Cricket Score and Update
Glamorgan 103/9d v Hampshire 29/1 (12.0 ov) - Hampshire trail by 74 runs with 9 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Hampshire’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glamorgan-c784 on Thursday, April 19, as he grabbed five-wickets to leave the batting side in utter disbelief at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
The day definitely belonged to Hampshire as they managed to restrict their opposition on a meagre total of 103 runs forcing the side to declare their innings with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huw-Waters-c1565 on a tally of three.
After winning the toss, Glamorgan made a wrong choice of batting first as instead of amassing an impressive total on the scoreboard; they ended up getting humiliated by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 bowlers, who were extremely difficult to score off.
This created a predicament, where the batting side could neither retain wickets nor launch a staggering batting onslaught.
The first wicket of the day fell with only ten runs on the board when opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stewart-c91370 Walters, found his way back to the pavilion after scoring a short innings of four runs.
His opening partner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gareth-Rees-c1461, was next to follow after scoring just 12 runs. And from here on, a batting collapse erupted, causing the batting side to lose wickets on a regular basis.
Under such critical circumstances, 25-year-old, number-three batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/William-Bragg-c2795, was the only ray of hope for his side as the young batsman stood his own and belted the bowlers all around the park, preventing the demise of his wicket.
With the carnage of falling wickets all around him, the batsman was not intimidated and moulded an impressive innings of 45 runs to play a major role in helping his side amass 103 runs by the end of the innings.
None of the remaining batsmen managed to score in double figures as they were taken aback by the blatant bowling from Hampshire.
Beginning their first innings, Hampshire lost their first wicket with nine runs to offer, as skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jimmy-Adams-c1696, faltered on three runs.
Later, Hampshire finished the day with 29 runs on the board for the loss of just one wicket, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Carberry-c1868 stood unbeaten on 18 and six runs.
