CRICKET NEWS - Rain and bad light had the final say in the Cricket South Africa Division 2 four-day match between Six Gun Grill SWD and the Hollywoodbets Tuskers played in Pietermaritzburg this past weekend.
Bad light prevented a full day's play in the first three days, while rain meant no play was possible on the last day. The match ended in a draw.
SWD batted first and posted 315, to which the home side replied with 332 – for a lead of 17. In their second innings SWD was at 135/1 at stumps on day three, with no further play possible.
The batting form of the SWD top order was a confidence booster for the men from Oudtshoorn. Yaseen Valli (52 and 57*), André Malan (70 and 59*), Leus du Plooy (54) and Blade Capell (80) scored half centuries. Sean Whitehead (4/70) was again SWD's top wicket taker.
