Glamorgan's Wharf shows his old county no favours
Richard Thomas of the South Wales Evening Post - 30 May 2001

Alex Wharf celebrated career-best figures against his old county Yorkshire as Glamorgan kept themselves in the CricInfo Championship clash at Swansea.

Bradford-born Wharf recorded figures of 5-63 as he helped to restrict the Division One leaders to 280 all out.

Wharf, 25, had helped to reduce Yorkshire to 3-2 inside five overs and although the Tykes recovered through Darren Lehmann and Craig White, he returned to get amongst the tail.

It will have given Wharf plenty of satisfaction, especially as he left Headingley under something of a cloud in 1997 after a handful of games for the county.

By lunch Yorkshire had very much regained control of the match at 110-2 with Lehmann eyeing a century despite scares on 20 and 40 when he survived an lbw appeal and then a dropped catch by Matthew Maynard at second slip off Wharf.

The turning point came five balls after the interval when Steve Watkin trapped Lehmann lbw for 75, ending a 107-run partnership with Craig White for the third wicket.

Lehmann had been in the middle for two hours in an innings that included 13 boundaries.

Glamorgan's patient bowlers gradually ate into the lower middle order despite two and a half hours in the middle from skipper David Byas who supplied an invaluable 63.

After tea Wharf claimed the wickets of Richard Blakey, Gavin Hamilton and Chris Silverwood to complete a good afternoon's work.

Before the close Glamorgan openers Steve James and Jimmy Maher successfully negotiated two maidens from Chris Silverwood and Ryan Sidebottom respectively.
