Manav Suthar Equals 131-Year First-Class Record in Warwickshire Rout

Matching Tom Hayward’s 1895 mark, his flawless spell strengthens Warwickshire’s push for the County Championship.

Overview

  • Warwickshire beat Glamorgan by an innings and 257 runs at Sophia Gardens, with Suthar taking three wickets across the match without conceding a run.
  • Suthar bowled three balls to dismiss Mir Hamza in the first innings and then opened with a maiden before bowling Chris Cooke and Jamie McIlroy in a four-ball span in the second innings.
  • The 26-year-old left-arm spinner has 21 wickets for Warwickshire this season, including a five-wicket haul against Somerset, and has been a consistent match-winner for the club.
  • Suthar carried form from international duty into county cricket after a seven-wicket Test debut and a 16-wicket return in two Tests in Sri Lanka, then rejoined Warwickshire three days after that series ended.
  • By matching a feat last recorded in 1895, Suthar’s performance not only enters first-class record books but also makes him a key figure for Warwickshire as they prepare for their final two Division One fixtures against Essex and Leicestershire.
