As Glamorgan prepare for their final NatWest T20 Blast group game against Middlesex on Friday, Head Coach Robert Croft believes his side’s qualification is a significant achievement for the club.
“When you look at the table and see how the odd point separates the other counties it really has been a marathon campaign in every sense.
“With so many games washed out at home, I have been delighted with our performances on the road, and also how we dealt with the frustration after the heavy defeat against Hampshire last week.
“We have a group of players who are ambitious and honest, and we all realised after that one run win against Somerset last Sunday, that we performed well for most of the game but at times we were below the standards we had set ourselves.
A win for Glamorgan will earn the county a second home quarter-final in a row in the competition, which will be played next week on either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.
“I am delighted we have qualified for the quarter finals, but the only game on our mind this week is the one the one against Middlesex where success will guarantee us a home draw in the last eight.
“They showed against Gloucestershire this week that they are a powerful side and as they can also qualify for the last eight, we are expecting a tough encounter”.
