da betano casino： Andrew Hignell18-May-2003Glamorgan maintained their unbeaten sequence in the National Leaguewith an emphatic 10 wicket victory over Gloucestershire in a contestthat was reduced initially to a 30 over game as a result of morningrain in South Wales.Robert Croft won an important toss and with rain clouds gathering, he hadno hesitation in inserting the opponents. Andrew Davies then reducedGloucestershire to 20-3 in a very impressive opening spellfrom the River End, as Davies took 3-4 in 9 balls.A short shower caused another interrruption and thegame was further reduced to a 26 overs contest, but when play resumed the Glamorgan bowlersremained on top with Alex Wharf taking 4-18 – his best ever figures in one daycricket and the best by a Glamorgan bowler against Gloucestershire in thecompetition.With Robert Croft making shrewd bowling changes, and his team fielding withgreat spirit, none of the Gloucestershire batsmen could come to terms withthe Glamorgan attack, and they closed their innings on a disappointing 133-9.After the Duckworth-Lewis calculations had been performed Glamorgan`s targetwas 133 in 26 overs, and Robert Croft and Ian Thomas then shared an unbrokenstand of 135 in 21.2 overs as Glamorgan cantered to only their third everwin the competition by 10 wickets, and their first since 1993.Ian Thomas was in imperious mood, hitting three huge sixes and six fours inhis unbeaten 71, whilst Croft`s 60 contained four fours and a six as they putall of the Gloucestershire bowlers to the sword and raced to their targetwith 28 balls to spare. This was Glamorgan`s first victory over Gloucestershire in the competition since 1996and their first in Wales since 1993.It was the Dragon`s third successive win in the League and equalled the club`s best everstart in the competition, achieved in1980 when Glamorgan defeated Lancashire, Essex and Nottinghamshire. The Dragons willbe looking to make it a record four out of four next Sunday when they travelto Headingley to play Yorkshire.
