At the end of the first day of play in the ongoing four-day Sunfoil Seriesat contest between Knights and Dolphins, the Knights trail by 167 for eight in their first innings after they conceded 221 runs while bowling against Dolphins at Chevrolet Park, Bloemfontein.
Knights, who chose to field, got smacked for 23 runs before managing to draw first blood with du Preez dismissing Dolphins’ opener DJ van Wyk for nine.
This was then followed by the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamie-Dalrymple-c1658 Vandiar, who was neutralized by van der Wath after jabbing a fiery 22 off 40. By this time, the batting side had managed to reach 59 runs.
VB van Jaarsveld was useless today as he could score only four runs before losing his wicket to van der Wath.
After a modest start, things were now going south for the Dolphins, as they were losing too many wickets, causing a rapid decline in their scoring rate.
Opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Khan-c63694, who was batting so well, became the next victim as he fell after hitting 31 runs off 81 balls.
K Zondo and C Chetty then perished after scoring 15 and 12 runs, leaving the Dolphins with 100 runs on the board for the loss of six wickets.
With 135 runs on the board, skipper D Smit became the seventh wicket of the day, finding his way off the field with a 15-run knock to his name.
These were troublesome times for the Dolphins, but the arrival of KJ Abbott and CP Savage turned the tables as the pair forged a majestic partnership leading their side to 200 runs, before the demise of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abbott-c41507, who perished after clobbering 45 off 57.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clinton-Terrence-Perren-c51294 Savage was then the last batsman to lose his wicket, after hammering a well tamed knock of 55 to see his side pile a respectable score on the board.
