The highlight of
day two of the Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week was a quick fire century by
HTS Middelburg’s Daniel Griesel, who made 109, of 117 balls with 10 4s and four
6s for Mpumalanga against Griquas.
His batting feat
helped his side to a 1st innings total off 207, which was enough to ensure
victory for them, after Griquas were bowled out for 155.
Day two was once
again disrupted by rain, with two games called off at lunchtime, and most of
the others abandoned in the final hour of play as rain descended on Durban.
The upshot was
that only two other teams – Eastern Province and Namibia managed wins – both on
1st innings on a day when times cricket was the format.
The day
definitely belonged to the batsmen. Apart from Griesel’s ton, there were six
half centuries scored. They were by: EP’s Andrew Rushmere (71 v KwaZulu-Natal
Inland); Merwe Erasmus (71 for Namibia v SWD); Gareth Wissing (70 for
KwaZulu-Natal v Gauteng); Ryan Wallace (71 for KwaZulu-Natal v Gauteng); Gideon
Bruwer (55 for Griquas v Mpumalanga) and Revaldo Moonsamy (56 for Northerns v
Western Province).
One bowler
managed to get a five wicket haul - Wehan Joubert of Mpumalanga got 5/50
against Griquas. Border’s Ngazibini Sigwile took 4/28 against Boland; Analisa
Mteto took 4/39 for Eastern Province against KZN inland and Johannes Smit took
4/35 for Namibia against SWD.
Only one team –
Namibia has won both its games so far. Gauteng and Eastern Province have
managed one win and one draw apiece, while the other big guns – Western
Province and KwaZulu-Natal; have had two rained out draws apiece.
The format of the
week now changes to limited overs. Wednesday features T20 cricket, with all the
sides playing two matches. On Thursday and Friday they play 50 overs a side
matches.
