Ever since Glamorgan joined the County championship in 1921, the ground has staged first-class cricket. Considered to be one of the fastest drying grounds in the country, the ground which overlooks the Swansea bay is laid on a sandbank. This was also the place where in 1968; Sir Gary Sobers became the first player to score six sixes in an over. It hosted its first ODI between England and New Zealand on July 18, 1973.
