Date-stamped : 11 Jul97 - 14:22 Bold James sees Glamorgan home By Edward Bevan at Southampton Glamorgan (304-8) bt Hampshire (302-6) by 2 wkts GLAMORGAN gained their first victory in the competition against Hampshire when Waqar Younis glanced a full toss from Cardigan Connor to the boundary with only two balls left. At 192 for five, Glamorgan required a further 111 runs and were guided to victory by man-of-the-match Steve James (69) and Adrian Shaw, who shared a crucial partnership of 76 in 10 overs. At 241 for six Shaw was adjudged run out having scored only five. But after a protest from James the batsman was called back when the bowler Shaun Udal and captain John Stephenson acknowl- edged the stumps had been broken by Udal without the ball. Shaw soon made the most of his let-off, striking a six and two fours in a rapid unbeaten 34. Hampshire`s innings was built around Robin Smith, who batted for 47 overs and ensured a reasonable total on a slowish pitch where bowlers not maintaining a length were punished. Smith scored his hundred from 135 balls with a six and 14 fours. Although the other batsmen made useful contributions, no one matched the quality of Smith`s stroke play. His century was his seventh in the competition and equalled the record held by his brother Chris, who played in 32 NatWest games com- pared to Robin`s 35. Udal helped Smith add a rapid 83 in 12 overs as Hampshire ac- celerated in the later stages of their innings before Smith skied Darren Thomas to midwicket. Glamorgan, needing to score at five an over, lost Robert Croft to the fifth ball of the innings when the pinch-hitter, who had jus- tified his role in previous one-day games, mis-hit to square leg. Hugh Morris and Adrian Dale then settled into productive part- nership with Dale reaching 50 in 65 balls. At tea, Glamorgan were well placed at 113 for one, but they lost their way after the interval and lost three wickets for 16 runs. Dale nicked Connor to the wicketkeeper, then Morris was run out from cover by a direct hit from Will Kendall. Tony Cottey soon followed and much depended on Matthew Maynard and James. Maynard holed out on the square-leg boundary, but Glam- organ squeezed home. Source :: The Electronic Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/) Contributed by The Management (help@cricinfo.com)
