Day 2’s Coca-Cola Hero of the day at the Coca-Cola T20
Cricket challenge is Christiaan Geel from the Knights.
The Knight’s captain and Grey College captain, Christiaan
Geel won this accolade for the way he captained his team in a losing encounter
against the Titans. Grey College batted first and only posted 115 for 9 in
their 20 overs which was nowhere enough. The Titans, represented by Waterkloof
Hoerskool, started to knock off the score easily and were sitting at 98 for 2
in 13 overs. The team morale was down and they were wondering how long it would
take for the Titans to put them out of their misery when Christiaan started to
marshal his troops, change fielding positions and change bowlers around. The
Titans lost 5 wickets in trying to get the last 18 runs. He gave the Knights a
chance to believe and encouragement leading into their last encounter on day 3.
“It is a pleasure to have a captain you can trust on the
field. His captaincy almost swung a game where we were down and out, into our
favour with the way he kept the players together and with the bowling changes
he made. The whole team support and believe in him. Christiaan Geel is a great
and respected captain,” says Andre Bester, cricket coach Grey College.
