Season Ends With Anticlimactic Draw as Three Legends Retire

Colin Ingram, Chris Cooke and Billy Root all marked their last appearance for Glamorgan, and in their professional careers, as all three capped players will retire.

Root went out in fine style with 59, his first red-ball century since 2024, Ingram scored 42 in a pursuit of adding runs quickly for an extra bonus point, and Cooke fell for 20 in his final match while also showing no decline in his wicket-keeping abilities at the end of his 16th season for the club.

Glamorgan only needed to bat once, scoring 505 after being inserted at the toss. Asa Tribe led the way for a second consecutive century after contributing to the win over Surrey last week. The Jerseyman made the most of being given a life on 0 in the second over of the game – dropped by Simon Harmer at slip – to make 184. Kiran Carlson also crossed three figures for the second time this season – with a 99 at Grace Road and a 95 earlier in the season to add.
