Resilient Selman Reflects On Century

7 Sep 2016 | Cricket
Nick Selman reflected on a tough day\'s batting for Glamorgan against Gloucestershire, after making his second County Championship century.

Selman hit 101 off 144 balls to guide Glamorgan to 220, after Gloucestershire captain Gareth Roderick had won the toss an elected to bat first.

The 20-year-old admitted it was a relief to score heavily after an inconsistent run of late.

After the innings, he told BBC Sport: "It was good to get some runs for a change, the wicket was a bit slow and they bowled a bit short early on so I got through the first 25 overs and it got easier to bat from there, but it was a bit disappointing to get out just after I got a hundred.

"(My season) was going well up until after (a century in) Swansea, after Swansea four ducks in a row, but it was good to spend some time in the middle at Northants.

"Opening the batting in county cricket over here (in the UK), it's definitely hard, you get some good balls, you play on some green wickets and I was struggling a bit.

"I was happy to get a few today and hopefully I can continue that for the rest of the season."

Glamorgan will look to dismiss Gloucestershire today, as the visitors resume their innings on 62/3 on Day Two.
