Batter Sam Northeast was delighted after Glamorgan claimed a thrilling victory over Leicestershire in the LV= County Championship.
The Welsh county were able to declare at lunch on the final day with a lead of 211 after Northeast (410*) and Chris Cooke (191*) shared a Club record partnership of 461.
Michael Hogan (4-43) and Michael Neser (3-60) then ripped through the Leicestershire batting order on a docile pitch to seal an innings and 28-run victory with just 32 balls left in the match.
"It (the tactics) were just to get ourselves in in the first hour and to see if we could build a partnership, because we knew we'd have to go past them quite big to set something up for the day and to give our bowlers a chance," said Northeast.
"We got ourselves in and were able to capitalise. Cookey stroked the ball unbelievably well, hit it well and on another day he would have got a double hundred.
"We walked off (at lunch) with the declaration in mind and set our bowlers something, but it was a pretty dead pitch by the end there and it was just an unbelievable bowling group performance.
"To get that win has put us right in the mix. We know we'll have to go away to a few tricky spots, but it's a little break now and play some one-day cricket... then come back in September and give it absolutely everything.
Northeast was also thrilled to become the first Glamorgan player and only the ninth man in history to have hit more than 400 runs in first-class cricket.
In the County Championship, only Brian Lara's 501 not out in 1994 and Archie MacLaren's 424 in 1895 recorded higher scores.
"It hasn't quite sunk in yet but it was a very special day," Northeast added.
"It's truly special to be part of the list of names... it's just crazy, people keep telling me what a special achievement it is."
