Wallace also confirmed Glamorgan are optimistic they can extend the stay of Australian bowler Ryan Hadley<\/a> for a further two Championship games.<\/p>\n

The 6ft 5in 27-year-old paceman was originally only signed for the opening six games of their County Championship Division One campaign.<\/p>\n

“He’s been fantastic,” said Wallace.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got a few more County Championship games in the middle of the season, so we’re in talks to see if he can stay around a bit longer and then obviously look to the seasons upcoming now. <\/p>\n

“He’s been a real addition, not just with his bowling, but he showed us with his batting a couple of weeks ago he’s got that string to his bow as well.”<\/p>\n

With a block of T20 matches starting this Friday, Glamorgan take a break from Championship cricket until next month.<\/p>\n

Wallace, however, is hopeful Hadley will be available for the fixtures away to Sussex on 12 June and home to Surrey on 19 June before returning again in seasons to come.<\/p>\n

“He seems to have really enjoyed his time here,” added Wallace.<\/p>\n

“He’s had his wife and his young child with him. He’s been living in Pontcanna, Cardiff’s a pretty good place to live, so hopefully we can create a longer-term association with him.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wallace also confirmed Glamorgan are optimistic they can extend the stay of Australian bowler Ryan Hadley for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680694,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-680693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680693\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680694"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
