Teenage seamer Lukas Carey made a dream debut for Glamorgan as injury-hit Northamptonshire struggled in the Swansea showers on day one of the Specsavers County Championship clash at Swansea.
"I felt really excited when I got the call-up, I was really looking forward to playing in Swansea as the home ground of the west," said the 19-year-old.
Carey, alongisde Owen Morgan is a product of coach Robert Croft's local club Pontarddulais, and the debutant claimed 3-37 in 10 overs including the wicket of form batsman Ben Duckett with his 11th delivery. "I thought hopefully I'd get a couple of wickets and get another game, then the first one came in the second over and there were a couple more in between the rain-breaks," added Lukas.
"I've played quite a bit of club cricket here so I know what the pitch is doing, it helped going into the game.
"I've played in the same side as [coach Robert Croft] for Pontarddulais when I came into the first team. He's good to have around for a chat, and [assistant coach] Steve Watkin has helped me a lot since I was about 16."
