NatWest Trophy Semi final SUSSEX v GLAMORGAN: Hove
Viv  Richards' great dream of a farewell appearance at Lord's was
shattered by a majestic century from Alan Wells.
The Sussex skipper hit a magnificent unbeaten 106  to  guide  his
county into the NatWest Trophy final on September 4 after Glamor-
gan had looked home and dry
Sussex looked on the verge of defeat chasing a total of 220   un-
til Wells and Neil Lenham guided them to victory with three wick-
ets and four balls to spare.
Sussex skipper Alan Wells rescued his  side  from  an  impossible
looking position to book a place in the final.
With  20 overs remaining  Sussex looked out of contention as they
slumped to 90 5 chasing  Glamorgan's  220  (Matthew  Maynard  top
scoring with 84).
But  the  31  year  old batsman responded with a century from 126
balls  with a six and  seven  fours   to  secure  a  final  place
against Warwickshire at Lord's.
