GARDEN ROUTE CRICKET NEWS - Although the SWD cricket team had the upper hand for most of their Cricket South Africa provincial three-day match against the Central Gauteng Lions this weekend, they failed to deliver the knockout punch to record an outright victory.
SWD, who batted first, amassed an impressive 406 in their first innings thanks to a career best innings by wicketkeeper / batsman Brendon Louw (167 from 239 balls, 24x4).
He received good support from Kirwin Christoffels (56). The SWD bowling attack fired on all cylinders and dismissed Gauteng for only 183 runs in their first innings for a lead of 222.
SWD did not enforce the follow-on and posted 184 all out in their second innings, leaving the visitors from Johannesburg the task to score 406 for a victory.
At stumps on the final day Gauteng were at 185/2 in their second innings and the match ended in a draw. For their efforts SWD won the battle for the most bonus points in the match - 14,9 against 10,66.
