James continues his run glut at Colwyn Bay
Andrew Hignell - 29 August 2002

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
