Jim Allenby is hoping to deliver an historic victory for Glamorgan on the "No 1 day of the year" at Lord's on Saturday.
Despite their run to Lord's, Glamorgan suffered another disappointing campaign in the four-day game and are languishing towards the bottom of Division Two as the season draws to a close. Allenby was critical of his side following a similarly disappointing red-ball season last year, but thinks the limited-overs exploits have made up for that this time. He said: "The County Championship hasn't gone well. The T20 went pretty well (Glamorgan finished third in their group) and (the YB40) has been awesome, it's been great fun. "I consider (that) we've already had a good season having already made a major final and if we get one more win then it becomes a great season - up there with winning Division One of the Championship. "There are obviously going to be only a handful of sides winning trophies each year. "If we're one of them then we can take a lot of credit to the work that has gone into our side to go from basically nowhere in one-day cricket to being one of the major sides going forward." Jim Allenby was speaking ahead of the Yorkshire Bank 40 final at Lord's Saturday 21st September. Tickets for this great family day out are available from tickets.lords.org
