In Tuesday’s second round of the Switch Schools SA20 – Volume 2<\/strong>, Milnerton High<\/strong> won the toss and chose to field first at Rondebosch Boys’ High.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hosts put up a solid total, which they defended with top-tier bowling to set themselves up for a 91-run victory.<\/p>\n

Opener Eli Aufrichtig<\/strong> smashed four fours and a six for his 71 runs off 55 balls. Down the middle order, Raa’id Davids<\/strong> was the next best ‘Bosch batsman, hitting an undefeated 25 off 15.<\/p>\n

Tristan Logie<\/strong> was the best bowler for the visitors, claiming figures of 2\/34 in four overs. Rondebosch secured a total of 147\/6 after 20 overs.<\/p>\n

In at three, Michael Bloemetjie<\/strong>\u00a0produced 26 off 35, which was the best effort that any Millies<\/strong><\/em> batsman could muster against a dangerous home bowling attack.<\/p>\n

Aufrichtig was also brilliant with the ball, dispatching 2\/2 in two overs. Schalk Fourie<\/strong> was another player on song, cleaning out 2\/7 in his two overs. Milnerton lost all 10 wickets for 56 runs in 18.3 overs.<\/p>\n

In their third round encounter of the Switch Schools SA20<\/strong>, St. Andrew’s School<\/strong> won the toss and opted to bat first at Ho\u00ebrskool Fichardtpark.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Saints<\/strong><\/em> were excellent with both bat and ball to win the match by 10 wickets.<\/p>\n

Nevin Olivier’s<\/strong> two fours in his 14 runs off 14 balls provided the most entertaining Fichardtpark innings against a merciless St. Andrew’s bowling attack. Having bowled four overs each, Schalk van Rensburg<\/strong> took 3\/13, Ryle Beckmann<\/strong>\u00a02\/11, and Erhard Barens<\/strong> 2\/17. With their collected efforts, the hosts were dismissed for 66.<\/p>\n

Saints’ top order batsman, FG Botha<\/strong>, wasn’t afforded the opportunity to display his skills with the bat, but was a workhorse in the field on his 100th cap for St. Andrew’s. He is only the seventh player in seven years to achieve this milestone under coach AJ van Wyk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
