Bit of a delayed start to the cricket season for us, but it was nice to get down to Sophia Gardens for the first two days versus Sussex in the County Championship in some nice June weather.
Glamorgan made a poor start on day 1 after winning the toss and batting, at one stage they were 60/4. Billy Root (66) and the excellent Timm van der Gugten 44 not out put a decent sheen on the host's score, reaching 242 all out on a slow surface.
Sussex found it tricky in reply closing day 1 on 65/1.
Glamorgan had a better day 2, taking early wickets and bowling out Sussex for 203, giving the home side a lead of 39 runs. Australian leg spinner Nathan Swepson taking 3/52 on debut.
In their second innings, Glamorgan closed Day 2 on 46/0, giving the foundations for a subsequent total of 319, featuring an excellent century from Sam Northeast.
The Sussex target of 359 was beyond them, but they hung on for a draw at 273/9, yielding disappointment for home supporters.
