Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week: Free State players to look out for Gerald Coetzee





Name: Gerald Coetzee
Age: 17
Team: Free State
School: Saint Andrew’s College
Batting and Bowling Skills: All rounder
Previous Provincial weeks: 2016 Coca-Cola Khaya Majola Cricket Week
Cricket Hero and why: I have three heroes. Dale Steyn because he is a quick bowler and is a great example of class and control. Hardus Viljoen because he is an out and out quick bowler and puts everything into every ball that he bowls. David Miller because he is one of the cleanest hitters of the ball.
What do you think makes a hero: A hero is not only someone that performs well and leads his team on the field, but he also must be a role model off the field and needs to know that what he does off the field will influence the behaviour of people that look up to him.
What are your highlights of the season so far? St Andrews played in a tournament in Zimbabwe and I hit three scores off 70 and one off 150 in a row. I have chipped in the whole season with 2-3 wickets per game. I hit 80 runs and took 5 wickets against Centurion. I hope that I will be able to play first class cricket in the near future with friends like Wiaan Mulder, Jason Niemand, Nkona Manyaka, Matthew Bretzkee and Jade de Klerk who have all already played senior cricket.
What are you expecting from this year’s tournament? Last year I made the Colts team so this year I would like to make the SA Schools team and then continue playing for the SA U19s.
Who are the players to look out for: Jason Niemand and Akhona Mnyaka
