Our esteemed Warriors play their first T20 game of the series against Titans, Sunday 30 th January at 14H30 at Buffalo Park East London. Davy Jacobs who is back at the helm after a hip injury, had this to say.”We said we want to defend one of our two trophies,” He offered two reasons for the Warriors failing to live up to last season’s wining ways, and was quick to say no excuses. “One of the things that happen when you do well is that you lose a lot of players to the national side and we lost a few more than we thought we would,” Jacobs said. Colin Ingram, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Wayne Parnell and Rusty Theron have all spent a substantial amount of time away from their franchise as they were selected in South African squads. “What hurt us more was that we also lost some of our domestic players through injury.” Jacobs has been on the bench since the the Champions League T20 with a hip injury and seamer Garnet Kruger was also out of action because of stress fracture. Mark Boucher is back in the fold, and will add his world of experience to the team.
The EP Amateur side play against Northens in Pretoria starting today at 10H00, in their CSA 3 day game. After 6 games, Eastern Province are currently lying in 9th place out of the 14 teams that participate in this league, having won 2 losing 1 drawn 2 and abandoning 1, standing on 58.36 points.
