Jason Rowles<\/strong> and Armaan Manack<\/strong> decimated the Bishops Diocesan College <\/strong>bowling attack as they led the St David’s 1st XI<\/strong> to an imperious nine-wicket victory in their Fasken Time Cricket Festival<\/strong> match on the La Valla Oval<\/strong> at St David’s Marist<\/strong> Inanda<\/strong> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bishops batted first on day one and put up a total of 258. Their bowlers did well enough to restrict St Davids to 210\/6 in their reply. The Capetonians, then, added 232\/7 in their second innings to establish a 280-run lead.<\/p>\n

Rowles and Manack made the required score for victory, 281 runs, look like child\u2019s play as they put together a sensational 274-run second innings’ opening stand. St David’s finished the match with a flourish, a four, which took them to 283\/1.<\/p>\n

Rowles and Manack’s partnership was the highest opening stand of the tournament. Rowles’ knock was also a perfect celebration of his selection for the SA Emerging U19<\/strong> side that will tour Zimbabwe from 15 to 30 September. He smashed 18 fours and a single six on his way to an imperious 154 from 158 deliveries. His partner, Manack, scored an unbeaten 120 off 132, which featured 10 fours and a single six.<\/p>\n

Alex Vintcent<\/strong> took a consolation wicket for Bishops when he dismissed Rowles in the 48th over. However, it was too little too late. By then, the hosts needed only seven runs to win.<\/p>\n

On day one, Rowles showcased his all-round abilities, bagging the wickets of top order batsmen Harry Morgan<\/strong> (47) and Litha Mbiko<\/strong> (8), to help restrict Bishops to 258\/9. The Capetonians’ innings was built around Waco<\/strong> Bassick’<\/strong>s 62 off 122 deliveries. Besides Bassick and Morgan, Thaafier Japhta<\/strong> (40) was the only other Bishops’ batsman to reach 40.<\/p>\n

Rowles was the second-most successful bowler of the innings behind Samrat Basu<\/strong>, who took three wickets for 69 runs in 19 overs. Ethan Greenstein<\/strong>, Morteza Manack,<\/strong> and Christopher Emslie<\/strong> chipped in with a wicket each.<\/p>\n

Rowles and Manack provided a glimpse of their abilities as a duo with a 113-run opening partnership in the host’s reply. Both registered half-centuries. Rowles cantered along for a run-a-ball 68, while Manack tallied 60 from 86 deliveries.<\/p>\n

After they were dismissed, the St David’s innings collapsed in a giant heap. Only Basu (39) lent solid support but everyone else failed to get going.<\/p>\n

Japhta carried on from where he had left off in the Bishops’ first innings by recording a half-century in their second dig, while Bassick showed off his consistency with the bat as he chalked an unbeaten 39.<\/p>\n

Rowles led the home side’s bowling attack, claiming three wickets for 54 runs in 21 overs, and the consistent Morteza Manack<\/strong> bagged a brace for 53 runs, while Hayden Campbell<\/strong> and Jared Stern<\/strong> took a wicket each.<\/p>\n

The St David’s performance in their first innings seemed to drive home the point that Rowles and Manack had to do more than score half-tons if they wanted their side to win. They dominated from the start, with both going on to record centuries, to ensure that victory was achieved in style.<\/p>\n
