Sussex skipper Simpson sparkles in gloom against Glamorgan

Sussex captain John Simpson told BBC Sussex Sport:

“I feel like I’m in a good space, taking on the captaincy has given me a bit of an extra spur, but I’m trying to keep it simple and cash in on the good form, try to be ruthless but to keep enjoying it.

“At 36 I probably don’t have too much longer in the game so I’ll try to enjoy each moment and put in the performances. It was a bit of an unknown in trying to balance my batting, keeping wicket, and captaining but so far so good.

“It was my first ever pair (of ducks) in Cardiff, so nice to come back (against Glamorgan) and get a few runs.

“There’s a bit of spin and seam movement, but it was nice for me and Clarky to build a good partnership and keep (Kellaway) quiet because he’s been their main threat.”

Glamorgan’s Ben Kellaway told BBC Sport Wales:

“It’s been quite a challenging day for us, we’ve had a few ups and downs. We dragged ourselves back into the game, we took four wickets then they got away from us, but we’ve been a bit unlucky with a couple of near-misses.

“It’s a pitch that really suited me, so for me it was trying to string the dots together and attack the stumps, it was nice to reap the rewards.

“Bowling left-arm was just about the situation in the game, mixing things up and trying to create a bit of doubt in their minds.

“We’re behind the eight-ball, but with the talent we have in the squad we can drag it back.”
