essex won the toss and james foster put glamorgan into bat. glamorgan's forty overs was completed with scoring 222 for seven wickets. sadly, hours of driving rain in cardiff meant the match had to be abandoned.
the main talking point of the match was the sensational hattrick from graham napier, recently returning from eleven months out of the game, dismissing rees, allenby and walters in quick sucession.
captain petersen made a slow 88 before coming napier's fourth victim. masters picked up the wicket of the impressive wagg and the last two wickets were chaotic run outs, argubably caused by petersen.
all eyes were on new england one day captain, alastair cook but it was napier who grabbed all the headlines. hopefully on sunday, we'll get to see cook scoring some runs at bury st edmunds, against the unicorns.
