After their draw with Derbyshire at Cardiff, Glamorgan remain unbeaten in their Championship matches so far this summer and travel to Kent for their next match in the four-day competition, scheduled to start at 11am at Canterbury on Sunday, May 10th against the side currently at the bottom of the table, a dozen points behind the Welsh county who are in sixth place in Division Two.
Head-to-Head and Preview
The Championship games for the past three years between the two sides at Canterbury have each ended in draws, but Glamorgan were victorious in the Championship match at the ground in September 2011 as the two teams took part in a pink-ball trial under the Canterbury floodlights, with a fine century by Stewart Walters guiding Glamorgan to an emphatic eight-wicket win.
Glamorgan also defeated Kent last summer at the SWALEC Stadium by an innings and 11 runs, with Michael Hogan taking 5/58 and 5/67 to record his first ten-wicket match haul for the Welsh county. This followed another remarkable performance by the Australian seamer a few days before in the Twenty20 contest as he held his nerve to deliver an outstanding final over as the contest ended in a nerve-jangling tie.
Mark Wallace enters this game still on the cusp of a personal milestone, with the long-serving Glamorgan player needing a further 53 runs to reach 10,000 runs for the Welsh county. If he reaches the landmark at the St.Lawrence ground he will become the first specialist wicket-keeper to achieve the feat for the Welsh county, and all at the ground when in 2012 he also became the Club's first-ever gloveman to score 1,000 first-class runs in a season.
Two other Glamorgan players are also close to personal lanmarks with Dean Cosker needing five more wickets to reach 600 in all first-class cricket, and Graham Wagg a further two for the milestone of 350 in all first-class games.
