Three years as an opening batter without a century in professional cricket would, for most, see the gradual, grumbling, saddening end to a career earned on churning out runs, or at least showing the promise to do that from a young age.
For Zain ul Hassan though, patience was much more required. Since the departure of David Lloyd, Glamorgan’s spots at the top order has left a gaping, looming hole. While Marnus Labuschagne, Sam Northeast, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke (and more recently Colin Ingram and Ben Kellaway) operated in a dominant engine room, questions aplenty remained over the top spots. Even when Lloyd was around, he stepped up as captain more as a case of having to do so than a show of willingness; he was often joined by Andrew Salter, an ul Hassan alike player – natural as a lower-middle order player and a useful bowler sent to do a job tarnished with risk.
