"Marnus Labuschagne posted an unbeaten half-century to guide Glamorgan to a seven-wicket win over Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, completing a disappointing start to the season for former Australia Test quick James Pattinson.

Having been dismissed for just three in Glamorgan's first innings, Labuschagne was the rock of his side's chase of 166, striking three fours and a six in his 93-ball innings of 50 not out."

"Peter Siddle is set to add another rare milestone to his ever-growing resume this evening when he plays the 200th first-class match of his decorated career.

More than two years since retiring from international cricket, Siddle continues to buck the trend of the modern game by playing red-ball cricket long after his days at the highest level are over.

Siddle's Somerset will take on Surrey at The Oval in London tonight (AEST), which will be his 200th first-class game having made his debut for Victoria in late 2005."

"Somerset is Siddle's fourth English county side after previous stints at Nottinghamshire, Lancashire and Essex, and 2022 is his sixth season of county cricket.

That's in addition to 73 Sheffield Shield matches with Victoria and Tasmania and 67 Tests for Australia.

Reliable first-class statistics can be difficult to track down, but it is believed Siddle will be the first Australian fast bowler to reach the milestone of 200 first-class games since Michael Kasprowicz in 2004."
