Leicestershire’s headquarters at Grace Road continues to be a ground favoured by Glamorgan’s batters and where a series of record-breaking performance have occurred (writes Andrew Hignell).
Last year, it was Sam Northeast and Chris Cooke who shared an Club record partnership of 461* - the highest-ever stand for any wicket in the Welsh county’s history as a first-class club.
This year it was Cooke and Michael Neser who re-wrote the record books against the Leicestershire attack as the pair shared a record eighth wicket stand of 211 in 65.1 overs, thereby surpassing the 202 added by Dai Davies and Joe Hills against Sussex at Eastbourne, 1928, as well as beating Glamorgan’s previous best for the eighth wicket against Leicestershire set in 1978 at Swansea when 166 was added by Gwyn Richards and Malcolm Nash.
Michael's score of 90 was also his best-ever score in the County Championship beating the 62 he made against Durham at Chester-le-Street last summer.
