da bwin： Andrew Hignell25-May-2003Glamorgan made it four wins out of 4 League games with a four wicket victoryover Yorkshire in a rain affected match at Headingley, and this fine win helped Glamorganto consolidate on their position in second place of Division One behind Surrey whose match againstGloucestershire at Bristol was abandoned.The victory made it the club`s best ever start to a season in League cricket and extended their unbeaten sequence away from home to 10 games, with Glamorganhaving last been defeated away from home on September 4th, 2001.After a delayed start, the match was initially reduced to a 40 over contest, and thenafter a further stoppage, the game became a 32 over match. Yorkshire, who had been putin, were restricted to 153-7 by some typically accurate seam bowling and livewirefielding, with David Hemp and Adrian Dale both taking fine catches in the deep. DavidHarrison also bowled an economical spell on his first League outing of the season,whilst Andrew Davies, Alex Wharf and Adrian Dale all claimed two wickets apiece.Glamorgan`s target under the Duckworth-Lewis system was revised to 164, and they weresoon in trouble, slumping to 6-2 in the third over, with Chris Silverwood dismissingboth openers, Robert Croft and Ian Thomas.Matthew Maynard and Mike Powell then shared a 76 run partnership in ten quite eventfulovers, with Ryan Sidebottom bowling a remarkable six ball spell, five of which were wide, whilstthe other was thumped for six by Maynard. Sidebottom, who had been an injury doubt beforethe match, then limped off, and the over was completed by Gary Fellows. It also includeda no-ball and the subsequent free-hit was also smashed to the boundary, so at the end ofa truly bizarre over, Glamorgan had amassed 20 runs from the 12 deliveries.This gave the Glamorgan innings the impetus it needed, and despite the loss of Maynard for37, Powell went on to make a powerful 47, before David Hemp played a little cameo, hittingfour boundaries in a quickfire 22. Silverwood returned to pick up two further wickets andthere were a few flutters in Welsh hearts with 40 runs needed off the final 10 overs with just fourwickets in hand.But Mark Wallace and Michael Kasprowicz saw Glamorgan home without further alarm,with the Australian finishing the match with a straight six off Vic Craven.
