Croft Remains Upbeat Despite Slow Start

12 May 2016 | Cricket
Glamorgan Head Coach Robert Croft remained upbeat about the Welsh county\'s fortunes, despite a disappointing start to the season.

Glamorgan have lost two and drawn two from their opening four matches in the Specsavers County Championship, after two days of rain washed out their recent encounter against Worcestershire at The SSE SWALEC.

Croft accepted Glamorgan haven't started in the way they would have wanted, but praised the determination and work ethic of his players.

He said: "It hasn't gone the way we'd hoped but the work that every player has been putting in is exceptional."

Croft insisted the atmosphere in the dressing room remained positive, with every player working hard to turn around Glamorgan's fortunes.

He added: "The environment is upbeat, you'd expect it to be a little bit more downbeat really, but no, the boys understand to a man we haven't reached our potential so far."

Glamorgan saw Worcestershire make 456/6 declared on the first two days in Cardiff, before the rain came with Glamorgan 42/4.

Croft added: "The umpires thought we were highly unlucky with the way we bowled in the first two sessions, but we weren't capable of sustaining it for three sessions – then you get on a bit of a roll, we lost three quick wickets and the captain's wicket (Jacques Rudolph run out after slipping) was a bit of a freak. But nothing gets glossed over."

Glamorgan travel to Bristol on Sunday to take on Gloucestershire in their next Specsavers County Championship matc, starting at 11am.
