Reaction: \"Nye got our momentum going\"

31 Jul 2017 | Cricket
Glamorgan captain Jacques Rudolph top scored in his team\'s latest away success at Canterbury yesterday, but he was quick to praise his fellow opener Aneurin Donald who hit his first 50 of this year\'s NatWest T20 Blast.

"It was difficult for me to get the ball away in the beginning but Aneurin Donald played unbelievably well," said Jacques. "He really got our momentum going and his 50 off 30 balls was just what we needed up front. As the innings progressed I felt that the wicket was getting a little slower and we had to get a little clever with our shot-making.

"I said at the start that we set up really well with our batting line-up at the moment and that gives us quite a bit of freedom up front."

He added: "It's not foreign territory for us to defend a decent total. A lot of times when we've played this summer you come up against the likes of Michael Klinger and Joe Denly, guys that can give their side's greats starts, so our bowlers have had to stay patient and stick to their processes. You only need to take one or two wickets quickly and it really slows the run rate and that's exactly what happened today."

Glamorgan return to action against Gloucestershire in Cardiff on Thursday.
