Should get 1k runs before end of May without too much problem.

Just had a look - he needs 438 runs from 3 games.
Other than his 2 big scores, his next top score in 6 innings is 29.
Match abandoned for another draw.
I make that 17 draws in their last 19 county championship matches.
The polar opposite of Cardiff City.
Yorkshire played this game on a pitch that had already been used for a four day match this season because they already felt that they needed a win even at this early stage of the season. The ball was turning a lot on the first day, but the wicket still got easier as the game went on - Yorkshire would have won it but for the weather, but the commentators thought Glamorgan’s 221 in the first innings was a decent score in the conditions, yet there were nearly 900 runs scored for the loss of fourteen wickets after that.
I think the only games we didn't draw last season were a win and a loss against Worcestershire.
Yes, but I think it’s ominous that we’ve been hanging on for draws in our last two matches since early on day two - next up, top of the table Sussex on Friday.
We seem to be getting into a rescue act in second innings. Bonus point total is poor.
Yorkshire were averaging 5.5/over when they declared. This does expose how weak our bowling is which is why we can't get anywhere close to winning a game and have been relying.on certain batters to stave off defeats.
To be fair to him, he's certainly proving me wrong this session. Sussex 5 down, Glamorgan on top
Before a really annoying 8th wicket partnership. Typical glammy
Timely wicket. That was getting very frustrating
Over 100 added already for last 3. And not done. So frustrating
I see Brendan McCullum flew over from New Zealand and played a round of golf with Jimmy Anderson, during which he told the man I think is rightly regarded as England’s best ever bowler that from the end of this season England are going to be looking to build a squad for the next Ashes tour when Anderson will be 43, it looks like his last test will be at Old Trafford in late August.
Glamorgan finished 21 in reply to Sussex’s 276 - that’s more than they looked like getting at one time, but not a bad day overall.
No other county managed to take 10 wickets on day 1, so credit where credit's due. Can we take 10 more though?
not looking good 41-4 at the moment
136-4 at lunch, Carlson and Ingram have put on ninety odd.
259-4, hundreds for Ingram and Carlson.
Three hundred partnership, 341/4. Is the Cardiff wicket running true to form and can we expect three or four wickets a day, if we’re lucky, from now on?
342/4.
Another 7 runs and it will be glamorgan's highest ever 5th wicket partnership (which also involved Carlson)
Update. 349/4 308 run partnership Glamorgan's best ever for the 5th wicket
Unbelievable partnership earlier. This Harris innings looks like it could be vital. Moving towards a good lead now, where it did look like we might waste the efforts of Carlson and Ingram and crumble.
Looks like the first 10/15 overs with new ball are vital. All our wickets have fallen with the new ball, but it looked very placid in between
Looks like the weather’s going to be the winner over the next two days and, having been rescued by the rain twice already, Glamorgan can’t really complain if it is. Even if the rain holds off today and Monday, you have to wonder if the wicket will flatten out like it usually does at Cardiff. Glamorgan’s seam bowling attack in this match looks as weak as it has done in years and it’s a surprise that they were able to roll Sussex over so cheaply in the first innings - maybe Hamza and Harris can do the business again, but the odds are that both of them will spend much of the next two days in the pavilion watching the rain come down.
Tomorrow looks like a write off, we need to bowl them out today. Hard to see that with this attack but if there is a bit of humidity in the air Hamza and Harris might be able to get into them. Id be quietly confident if tim was fit but although Zain and gorvin did well in the first innings its hard to see them running though anybody.
