ICC 2005 Story: Glamorgan

[The_Reaper]

The savefile for my Australia game is corrupted but I have not given up on it and will show it to my cousin ( a computer technician) and see if he can fix it.

In the meantime I will make a Glamorgan story from 2005

National League First Division
Lancashire V Glamorgan

Glamorgan were ambushed by Andrew Flintoff and Muralitheran and were bowled out for less than 200. Wicketkeeper Danny Bolton(31) and allrounder Robert Croft(31) combined to score almost a third of Glamorgan's runs.

Chasing 192 to win, Lancashire won with three overs to spare due to brilliant batting to Stuart Law and Brad Hodge. However Economic bowling to David Harrison and Dean Cosker made a contest of it.

Good win first up with the comeback. Darren Thomas goes alright. 10wm
