County Championship Division II | Carlson, Northeast lead the fightback for Glamorgan

Day 2 of the fixture between Glamorgan and Leicestershire ended as an even contest between both the teams, as the former were trailing by only 15 runs.


Glamorgan began the day on 285/8, with captain Callum Parkison and Chris Wright at the crease. The duo hit a couple of boundaries, which sailed the team to a 300-run mark. 


However, the duo perished with 11 overs into the morning session. As a result, the team was dismissed for a total of 320. Marnus Labuschagne was the pick of the bowlers with three scalps. 


The home team had a bad start with a wicket in the first over in reply. The pacer, Wright, bowled a peach of a delivery, which induced an edge off David Lloyd and was caught brilliantly by wicket-keeper Harry Swindells. 


Then, Labuschagne and the opener Andrew Salt with their composure to steer the team. However, the Aussie batter could not clear the boundary on the brink of the lunch session and was caught at the fine-leg position off Ben Mike. 


In the 2nd over after the lunch session, Wright caught the edge of Salter, who scored 26 off 61 balls, comprising six fours. 


After this wicket, it was undoubtedly a one-sided affair, as Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson were impressive with their stroke-play all around the park. 


Although the duo started cautiously, they accelerated and emphatically punished the bowlers. It was another beautiful representation of seam bowling by Wright, which caught Carlson off-guard, and he was adjudged LBW for a score of 91, with 14 fours. 


Around 10 overs later, Northeast was dismissed in the same fashion as off Carlson, by Mike for a score of 84, comprising 13 fours. 


At the end of the day, Chris Cooke and Andy Gorvin are at the crease with 22* and 23* respectively, with Glamorgan at 305/5 and trailing by 15 runs.

'He partied more than practicing or playing matches': Virender Sehwag on David Warner

David Warner is regarded as one of the finest openers of this generation. But as we all know, controversy has always been part and parcel of the dashing Australian batsman's career. The southpaw is infamous for his several off-field incidents, one of which was recently revealed by the legendary Indian opener Virender Sehwag. Before the start of the IPL encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Thursday, Sehwag addressed that Warner preferred partying and used to neglect the practice sessions during his stint with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2009. As per Sehwag, Warner's indiscipline frustrated him as he was the side's skipper. "I too have vented out my frustrations on a couple of players and David Warner was one of them. Because when he had joined newly, he partied more than believing in practice or playing matches", Sehwag said during a show on Cricbuzz. The 'Nawab of Najafgarh' also disclosed that Warner had indulged in fight with some of his teammates during IPL 2009, which led to the southpaw's axing from the team in the latter stage of the tournament. According to the ex-Indian cricketer, this move was meant to teach Warner a lesson and it also didn't backfire the team as they continued winning matches even in the absence of Warner. "In the first year, he had a fight with a few players so we sent him back for the last two matches. Sometimes it happens that you keep someone out to teach him a lesson. He was new, so it was important to show him that you alone are not important for the team, others are too. There are other players who can play and win the match for the team. And that's what happened. We kept him out of the team and won as well," the 43-year-old concluded.
