Steve James continued his prolific and quite remarkable run scoring feats at the
Rhos-on-Sea ground, recording his fourth successive century at the ground
during Glamorgan`s annual visit to the North Wales resort.
On his last appearance at the ground, James hit an unbeaten 309 against Sussex -
a club record for the highest individual score. Yesterday, the Glamorgan captain
was unbeaten on 143 as Glamorgan closed on 248-3 in reply to Nottinghamshire`s
first innings total of 464.
Should the Glamorgan captain reach another double-century today, he will emulate
his feat in 1999, when he struck 259* against Nottinghamshire. In fact, before
the start of Thursday`s play James had scored 711 runs since he
was last dismissed at the ground.
His full sequence at the Rhos ground is:
8 and 152* v Lancashire, 1992
10 and 32 v Durham, 1993
12 and 3 v Lancashire, 1994
6 and 84 v Middlesex, 1995
162 v Nottinghamshire, 1997
259* v Nottinghamshire, 1999
309* v Sussex, 2000
