280 would have been a par score - Maynard

21 Apr 2019 | Cricket

Head Coach Matt Maynard admitted Glamorgan were 'disappointed' after falling to a 180 run defeat against Essex Eagles at Sophia Gardens.

Despite some early chances after winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the Essex Eagles batsmen were able to score freely in the middle overs and post an above par score which put Glamorgan under pressure.

"I though we bowled reasonably well up front, but a couple of balls fell just short of fielders and then they smashed us with those partnerships in the middle," said Maynard.

"About 280 would have been a par score, but they cruised past that and then they bowled very well upfront.

"They got a bit more out of the pitch than we did, with some seam movement, they played very well and we're very disappointed."
