Sophia Gardens mein ek dhamakedar County Championship match hua jahan Glamorgan ne Middlesex par zabardast haavi ho gaya. Is jeet ki buniyad rakhi unke captain Kiran Carlson ne, jinhone ek shandar century maari aur team ko 383 runs tak le gaye pehli innings mein. Unki batting ekdum classy thi — khoobsurat shots ke saath strong determination bhi dikhayi.
Jab Middlesex batting karne aayi, unke liye kaam bahut mushkil tha. Glamorgan ke bowlers ne tight line aur discipline ke saath bowling ki. Ismein sabse zyada shine kiya Tom Gorvin ne, jinhone aag laga di bowling mein — 4 wickets liye sirf 39 runs mein. Sabse bada moment tab aaya jab unhone ek hi over mein 2 batsmen ko back-to-back out kiya. Middlesex ki team pressure mein toot gayi aur sirf 155 runs pe all out ho gayi. Ab wo Glamorgan se 228 runs peeche hai.
Gorvin ke alawa baaki bowlers ne bhi zabardast bowling ki. Pitch par thoda support mil raha tha, aur unhone use full utilize kiya. Middlesex ke batsmen quality seam bowling ke samne tik nahi paye.
Ab jab match aage badh raha hai, Middlesex ke upar follow-on ka khatra mandra raha hai. Unhe apni doosri innings mein kam se kam 28 runs aur chahiye honge taaki Glamorgan ko dobara batting na karni pade. Abhi bhi time bacha hai match mein, aur Glamorgan ke bowlers full form mein hain, toh Middlesex ko match bachaane ke liye ek badiya fight dikhani padegi. Carlson ke runs aur Gorvin ke wickets ke saath, Glamorgan full control mein hai aur jeet ke bilkul kareeb dikh rahi hai. Ab dekhna yeh hai ki Middlesex aur kitna fight back kar sakti hai ya unki halat aur kharab hoti hai.
