Reaction: youve got to stay patient

12 May 2018 | Cricket
Fast bowler Marchant de Lange was delighted with Glamorgan\'s perfomance on day one of their Specsavers County Championship match against Leicestershire at Grace Road.

The bowlers reduced the home side to 191 all out on a flat wicket, with all five bowlers used picking up wickets, before reaching 82 without loss at the close of play. 

"Hogan and Timm (van der Gugten) set it up nicely for us, building up the pressure and not giving away any free runs, myself and David Lloyd just took the same template to back up their efforts," said de Lange.

"It's not the kind of wicket where it's going to bounce or seam around, you've got to stay patient for long enough. Then our openers did well in testing conditions, and it's been an excellent day for us."
