Colin Ingram has already posted a couple of hundreds in white-ball cricket this summer taking his tally of centuries in one-day cricket for Glamorgan to twelve, one behind Hugh Morris’ record of thirteen and four behind Matthew Maynard’s Club record of sixteen one-day hundreds for the Welsh county.
In all, Colin has scored five hundreds in white-ball cricket for Glamorgan against Essex, with three coming at Chelmsford – 101 in the T20 game in 2016, 107* in the List A match in 2016 and 114 in the T20 contest during 2017. However, Colin’s hundred in the List A match in 2016 was not quite enough to see Glamorgan across the winning line as Nick Browne made 99, before belligerent fifties from Jesse Ryder and Ravi Bopara saw Essex to a four-wicket victory.
Essex won their most recent List A contest at Chelmsford against Glamorgan in 2018 by nine wickets with Jamie Porter taking 4/29 as the Welsh county were dismissed for 200 before Varun Chopra (98*) and Adam Wheater (88) shared an opening stand of 189. Glamorgan’s last victory in a List A game at Chelmsford came in May 2009 thanks to an unbeaten 123 by Gareth Rees, plus a vibrant 72 from Mark Cosgrove as the visitors romped to an eight-wicket victory.
