North West’s Schuld Stars With Unbeaten Century On The First Day Of The Khaya Majola Week

By

JOHANNESBURG: North West’s opening batsman Ludwich Schuld (119*) carried his bat for an unbeaten century as he steered his team to an impressive seven-wicket victory over Eastern Province during the opening day of the Khaya Majola Week in Stellenbosch.

The left-handed batsman shared a 153-run partnership with Dewald du Plessis (43) over the second wicket which took the game from EP. Schuld struck ten sixes and only four fours from the 97 deliveries he faced.

Northern Cape’s opening batsman Ontlametse Kesiamang (102) also shined with a century as his side defeated Kei by 188 runs in their encounter. Kei was restricted to only 59 runs in their innings with the spin bowler Jady Barends picking up four wickets at the cost of only ten runs.

Limpopo’s fast bowler Nsuku Mattye picked up the only five-wicket haul of the opening day. His bowling figures of 5/19 were however not enough to secure his side a victory over the Garden Route Badgers.

The Badgers won the match by 44 runs with Ewald de Jager (4/12) also impressing with his bowling performance.

The Central Gauteng Lions started their tournament with a 60-run victory over KwaZulu-Natal on the Coetzenburg Oval. Their South African u19 player Richard Seletswane (49) helped his side reach 181 runs in windy conditions.

KwaZulu-Natal could only answer 121 in return with another SA u19 player Kwena Maphaka (4/36) causing most of the damage with his fast bowling. Christopher King (3/17) and Liam Alder (3/19) picked up the rest of the wickets.

Western Province convincingly defeated Free State by 182 runs with Bongile Mfunelwa (91) and Juan James (40) sharing a partnership of 102 runs over the fifth wicket to help their side reach 248 runs.

Free State could only reach 66 runs before being bundled out. Asakhe Tsaka (2/13), Cameron Fraser (2/15), Fayaad Daniels (2/24) as well as a couple of runouts caused most of the damage.

The hosts Boland started their tournament with a victory of 131 runs over Namibia’s Cheetahs at Boland Park in Paarl. Cormey van der Watt shone with both bat and ball as he scored 66 runs before boasting bowling figures of 2/4. Nathan Jacobs (53) also weighed in with a half-century.

An unbeaten partnership of 114-runs over the fourth wicket between Mpumalanga’s Jayden Scholtz (55*) and Hannes Feuth (52*) helped to secure their side a seven-wicket victory over Namibia’s Welwitschias.

KwaZulu-Natal Inland’s Matthew Urquhart produced an allround performance to help his side to a two-wicket victory over the Titans. Urquhart was the pick of his side’s bowlers with bowling figures of 4/39 before also seeing his side home with an unbeaten 35 runs.

Cricket came to South Africa during the Napoleonic Wars and with the British forces occupying South Africa. The first match recorded was in 1808 in Cape Town between two service teams, for a prize of one thousand rix-dollars.

The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843. Few clubs in the world can boast such a long existence. The first championship was held in Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha) in 1876 for the “champion bat.” Competing teams were Cape Town, Grahamstown, King Williams Town, and Port Elizabeth (now Gqeberha). It was won by King Williams Town and the year after that too.
