A lot more positives than negatives in the game - Maynard

19 Apr 2021 | Cricket

Following Glamorgan's eight-wicket loss to Sussex, head coach Matt Maynard conceded that the difference between the two teams was the 'incredible individual display' from Sussex seamer Ollie Robinson, who returned match figures of 13/138 at Sophia Gardens.

"Every now and then you take your hat off to an incredible individual display, Ollie Robinson certainly did that and it was as good a bowling display as I've seen in county cricket for a long time, it was the difference between the sides."

Despite the defeat, Maynard maintains there were plenty of positives to take from the match and was 'delighted' with the fight his batters showed, in particular Kiran Carlson who scored twin hundreds in the match and Callum Taylor who soaked up 251 balls for his 84 in the second innings.

"I was delighted with the fight we showed with the bat, Carlson with two hundreds in the game, the start Lloyd gave us in an unfamiliar position, Douthwaite playing out of character and Callum as well.

"A lot of pleasing performances including the way Hogan led the attack in his hundredth game, a lot more positives than negatives in the game.

"There won't be too many changes for Northampton unless there are injuries (from this game). Ruaidhri Smith (hamstring) will be a while yet, and Jamie McIlroy will be out for six to eight weeks with a stress fracture of the rib."
