Matthew Maynard established, with his first class career, a place in the all-time record books of Glamorgan County Cricket Club. But it is not just the quantity of runs that he scored that made Matt stand out amongst Glamorgan players of the modern age but the way in which he scored them.
It would have come as no surprise to Glamorgan fans that Matt chose to call the book about his cricketing career 'On the Attack'. They will have spent many seasons marveling at the glittering stroke-play and immaculate timing that brought him 59 first class hundreds, 131 first class 50s, 16 List A centuries and 81 50s.
In this episode Matt shares with us his early life in Oldham and then on Anglesey, his boyhood cricketing heroes, his first steps in the professional game and the influences on his batting from childhood through to his years at Glamorgan.
Matt is due to complete his Wellyman Walk from John O'Groats to Lands End in the next two weeks. He is walking to raise money for the Professional Cricketers Trust and Help for Heroes. You can find more details about his walk and you can donate here:

It would be a great way to show our thanks to Matt for the service he has given both as a player and coach to ensure he reaches his £20,000 target.
Join us next week for the next installment of the chat with Matt.
