Durhamwere outplayed by Glamorgan, says Dickson
Durham were "outplayed" by Glamorgan in the Royal London One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge on Thursday, says Sean Dickson.
But - he added - the Riverside outfit "can only hold our heads high", and now boast a "squad that is only going to take us forward".
Glamorgan ended a 58-year wait to win a first one-day final when they beat favourites Durham by 58 runs.
“When it comes to finals there is always an element of pressure and losing two or three quick wickets up front was not what we wanted," said Dickson, who finished 84 not out.
"That always puts you on the back foot but myself and (Cameron) Bancroft put together a good partnership and if he hits that one for six rather than finding the man on the boundary we are away again.
“I’d like to think that with me at the wicket we still had a chance. We just needed a couple more partnerships and that might have got us over the line.
“With hindsight we maybe leaked a few more runs that we would have liked in the first innings. We would have liked to be chasing 270 but it is a good wicket and a fast outfield and all credit to Glamorgan - they have outplayed us today.
“But we have played some outstanding cricket during the competition and there is a lot of pride in reaching the final. We can only hold our heads high. As a club we are growing every day and we have a squad that is only going to take us forward.”
Durham return to action in the County Championship at home to Surrey on Monday week.
