I think we showed up well again - Rudolph

5 Aug 2017 | Cricket
Glamorgan bounced back from a disappointing loss to Gloucestershire via DLA to record a thrilling victory against Surrey at the Oval last night.

Aneurin Donald struck a career T20 best 78 from just 40 balls to help set Surrey 182 to win. It looked as if Glamorgan would ease to victory when the London club required 48 to win from the final three overs but a spirited fightback from Tom Curran almost won the game for Surrey. 

Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph praised Donald's batting plus Michael Hogan's nerve in the thrilling final over when it looked as if Curran might take his side home. 

"Tom Curran did incredibly well to get them so close, and there is so much noise out there in front of a crowd of that size that it's difficult to communicate.

"But Michael kept his cool after the second ball six and showed his experience to switch to around the wicket and bowl two vital dot balls. It was a brave decision.

"Aneurin batted brilliantly up front and it was a pretty solid batting performance although we might have got 20 runs more after the start from Aneurin and Colin (Ingram).

"As a bowling unit I think we also showed up well again, dealing with the pressure well, and both Lukas Carey and Marchant de Lange were outstanding."
