Sam Northeast Wishes To Play For England After Scripting History In County Cricket

Glamorgan batter Sam Northeast has indicated he wants to play for England after the 32-year-old scripted history recently, smashing an unbeaten 410 in 450 balls and becoming just the first player this century to make more than 400 runs in a first-class innings in England's County Championship.

During his historic knock, Northeast flirted with the world record score of West Indies great Brian Lara, who had scored an unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire in 1994. However, his chance of surpassing Lara's record was cut short when Glamorgan captain David Lloyd declared his side's innings at 795/5 at lunch on day four of the Division Two contest against Leicestershire.
