In a Switch Schools SA20 – Volume 2<\/strong> showdown on Tuesday, Jim Fouch\u00e9<\/strong> (JF)<\/strong> and Grey College<\/strong> met at Grey’s Casa Parentum Oval<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

JF posted a decent total, but Grey made it look average by chasing down the victory target in only 12.4 overs.<\/p>\n

Having won the toss, JF chose to bat first and opener Niel Wilken<\/strong> enjoyed his stay at the crease, contributing 39 runs off 30 balls, letting rip with five fours and a six.<\/p>\n

Cobus<\/strong> Wilken<\/strong>, meanwhile, smashed a furious 36 off 25, finding the boundary along the ground on five occasions, and Franco de Necker<\/strong> struck two sixes in his 25 off 15.<\/p>\n

Six bowlers picked up a wicket each for Grey, who also effected a run out as Jim Fouch\u00e9 posted 162\/7.<\/p>\n

Christoph<\/strong> Bronn<\/strong>, with 1\/21 in four overs, provided Grey’s most economical bowling figures, conceding an average of 5.3 runs per over, while the rest of the attack went for at least seven per over.<\/p>\n

When Grey took to the crease, they hit out, chasing boundaries. Opener Christian Kind<\/strong> led the way, blasting seven sixes and six fours in a hasty 81 off 35 balls.<\/p>\n

When he was dismissed after 11 overs, caught by Ruan Kleyn<\/strong> off the bowling of Zeke Cloete<\/strong>, Grey had already rocketed to 131 runs. That, however, was the only success a JF bowler enjoyed.<\/p>\n

His fellow opener, Juan Maree<\/strong>, scored an unbeaten 54 off 35, hitting three fours and three sixes, while Daniel Hattingh<\/strong>, cracked three sixes and a four from the seven balls he faced, which produced 25 runs.<\/p>\n

Only one bowler, Jean van Schalkwyk<\/strong>, conceded less than 10 runs an over as Grey bounded to victory with 44 balls to spare.<\/p>\n
