Salter Happy With Rhythm After Three-Wicket Haul

27 Apr 2016 | Cricket
Andrew Salter says he was pleased with his rhythm despite bowling in \'bizarre\' freezing cold conditions in Derby yesterday.

Salter took 3/56, including the wickets of Derbyshire top-scorers Wayne Madsen and Ben Slater, as Glamorgan took maximum bowling points on Day Three.

Salter said: "It was a bit cold on the spinners' fingers but we got through it and in patches we did well. I think that's one of the coldest days I had to field in and I don't think I've had to come off for snow before!

"I'm pleased to get three wickets, it wasn't the most comfortable of feelings to start with but I managed to get some rhythm.

"Leaking a couple of runs to Andy Carter at the end wasn't ideal, but it was a bizarre day with the snow."

With the game seemingly headed for a draw and Derbyshire 331/9 overnight, Glamorgan will be looking to take the final wicket as soon as possible and try and force a result on Day Four.

Derbyshire's Wayne Madsen, who hit 97 before being bowled by Salter, said: "(I was) a little bit disappointed to fall short but in terms of the game situation it was important to make sure we batted through the morning session without too much damage.

"Tomorrow we can have a really hard go at them and potentially there's still an opportunity for us to get a result out of this.

"We played a pre-season game in Taunton three or four years ago which was minus two with the wind chill but this is definitely the coldest I've played in."
