It has given the guys a good test - Carlson

4 Apr 2022 | Cricket

Captain Kiran Carlson was pleased with his side's performance during their draw against Cardiff UCCE.

Carlson himself struck a magnificent 148 in Glamorgan's first innings, while 1st team regulars Joe Cooke and Billy Root hit half centuries and spent valuable time in the middle ahead of the Welsh county's opening LV= County Championship fixture of the season against Durham on Thursday.

"It's given a few boys a good knock and a good bowl, it's what we needed ahead of Thursday," said Carlson.

"In three-day cricket, once you lose a session it becomes pretty benign and it's a shame we couldn't make a game out of it."

"I've felt good all winter and in the pre-season games though I haven't scored many runs before this in the pre-season games, I've felt in decent rhythms so it was nice to get some time in the middle.

"We've highlighted that if we can get as many guys performing well as possible in the squad, we're going to be successful and those boys (Root and Cooke) definitely put their hand up."
