Reaction: Hogan joins 500 Club

26 Sep 2017 | Cricket
Glamorgan\'s Championship captain Michael Hogan was delighted at taking his 500th first-class wicket and reasonably pleased with his side’s match position.

He said: “I’m very proud and happy to reach the 500 and pleased that it’s out us into a good position in the game.

“It was all a bit of a blur in the moment, thinking about what I was going to bowl and sticking to our plans. The key wicket for us was Joe Denly, who played outstanding in the first innings, so to get him with one flush on the shoe was great.

“I was in a good place and thought I’d give Northeast a bumper first up and he managed to glove it through to the keeper for the big 500 wicket.”

Hogan added: “I think it’s a new ball wicket and batting gets easier as the seam wears down. The game’s pretty even now and I was happy to get Darren Stevens out late on there because he can change a game in a session.

“We still need to get them out cheaply tomorrow and if they get away to score another 100 runs in might be a little bit tricky for us to chase that many.”
