On day one of Glamorgan versus Surrey, the late Glamorgan great Hugh Morris was credited with the unveiling of the National Cricket Centre at Sophia Gardens being renamed in his honour.
It was only fitting that on the day a Glamorgan legend was honoured, that another scored a magnificent century.
Chris Cooke’s 101 brought up late in the first day was testament to the service he’s provided Glamorgan in his 15 years as an adopted Welshman. The 40-year-old wicket-keeper would’ve warranted questions over his performances in the first block of six County Championship fixtures – a top score of just 39 to his credit.
White-ball form might be what spurred on the South-African born Cooke after his heroics in Blackpool which brought pleasure to Glamorgan fans in an unlikely T20 chase against Lancashire. His concerning red-ball form however was brought to exposure at 76 for 5 against a formidable three-pronged seam attack of Gus Atkinson, Jordan Clark and Sean Abbott.
