FIRST XI

All cricket teams have their ups and downsduring a season but one of the lasting impressionsmade by the 1992 lst XI was the extraordinaryheights reached on occasions in addition to afew really low points. The statistics will showthat of the 27 matches played (only one wastotally washed out) nine were won and fourlost. The only loss of the first term was againstAmanzimtoti. This fixture was assigned to usby the Natal Schools' Cricket Union in anexperiment to broaden the base of schoolscricket in the Province. Needing only 8l to winwe never really looked like getting there andcannot apportion all the blame for the resulton our own ineptitude. The fourth term losseswere three in a row, a disasterous build up,and start, to the Offord Week. At home to oneof the lesser College sides of recent years, ourbatting was downright poor and the Collegesecond stringers can be proud of their win. Amid-week limited oven bash against the OldBoys followed and we were just edged out bya side containing some good cricketers (a fewgolden oldies as well). The hrst day of OffordWeek took place on the poorest wicket the lstXI has been subjected to in a very long time.We batted second at Alexandra and crumbledas badly as the pitch. It must immediately besaid, however, that in the next four days wewere involved in two of the most excitingmatches imaginable. The wins against the strongMichaelhouse XI and against Hilton were twoof the highlights of the year and a fitting tributeto the character of the side to come back toexcellent form after a few set-backs. Of the otherwins probable the most noteworthy was thelimited overs encounter against the TransvaalXI, a development side managed by thecharming and enthusiastic West Indian, ConradHunte during Michaelmas Week.

Fourteen draws in a season sounds a lot butcloser analysis reveals that only two of themcould be classihed as dull. Rain cut three matchesshort. On two occasions we were hanging onfor dear life. One exciting match could havegone either way (King Edwards duringMichaelmas Week) but, most encouragingly,there were six draws in which we were verymuch in the driving seat at the end.

A most pleasing aspect was that the fine teamspirit and co-operation that we have come toexpect from our sides was very much inevidence. There can be no underestimating thevalue of this team discipline when one sees sucha lack of it in a number of other quarters.

Captaincy is a vital part of a successful teamand in Richard Mylrea we had a captain whosegood team management on the field was equallyevident off it. Congratulations to him on a verygood year. It must be said that he was a masterat winning the toss, a skill that eluded him inthe Offord Week without much ill effect.

To sum up the team's attributes, we wererecognised as probably the best fielding side inNatal. The bulk of the bowling was spearheadedby Tyron Henderson and Gavin Rabie whobecame a feared new ball combination. SkipperRichard Mylrea provided the backup seambowling, and the mainstay in the spin depart-ment was Justin Fuller (left arm) with LeonPretorius (off spin) coming on well in the fourthterm. Fuller, a Natal Schools' A player in 1991(as an under 14) seemed to lose line and lengthfor a while but came back to best form beforeand during Offord Week, and must be regardedas unlucky not to regain his place in the "lf'side. Henderson's consistent fourth term formensured his place in the "A'team but we regardRabie as singularly unfortunate not to have beenselected for the "B" side. Mylrea must have beenconsidered for both his captaincy and his mosteffective medium pace, swing and seam bowling,and a deceptive change of pace.

Fielding lapses were few and far between andthe fine catching and fielding of the side wasa major factor in many of the wins we enjoyed.

When things went wrong it was usually thebatting that was the problem. A number ofopening partnerships were tried. With ShaunBroughton featuring in most of them. Barry Hall,Michael Johnson, Jamie Gatonby and finallyJustin Fuller were all there at one time oranother, and, while we never boasted thequickest scoring openers around, Broughton andFuller emerged as the steadiest. It wasparticularly pleasing to observe that the abilityto keep the scoreboard moving by looking for,and taking, the quick singles, began developingnicely by the end of Offord Week. This augurswell for 1993. Others in the upper order were

As long as young boys can create naturalheroes and role models for themselves,cricket will prosper.

CONCLUSION

As the stumps were drawn after the last matchof the season, the side could feel proud of itsachievements throughout the year. Themeasure of any side is in its teamwork, and thisyear's side made up a formidable team formost opponents.

Much will be expected of the youngsters of theside, such as: Jon Kent, Shaun Adam andChad Keegan who certainly are talentedenough to continue the successful example setby this year's team. Good luck to those leavingD H.S. at the end of the year and may theycarry the D.H.S. Cricket banner proudly.

The School helded22 cricket sides during theyear but could have had at least another 5 sides

had it not been for a lack of fields, staff and

opposing teams. The School generally had agood cricketing year with the following boys

being selected for representatives sides:

T. Henderson - Kwlulu Natal A sideP. Waldburger- Kwlulu Natal B side -

H. AmlaCaptainU.S.S.A.S.A. Under17 side

C. Naicker - Captain of the KwaZuluNatalUnder 15 side whichalso included I. Khan, J.Voss, N. ComPton.

On the whole I would say that all the A sides

performed below their abilip and I think thata lot of hard work lies ahead next year if we

want to claim to be the best cricketing schoolin Natal.

I would like to thank the parents for all thesupport they give their sons and especially themotlers who spend long hours baking, trans-porting, serving teas and washing dirty cricketwhites.

Thanks to the Head Master for his supportduring the year.

Thanks to the Cricket coaches for all the longand hard hours you have invested in your re-spective teams. The boys and the school ap-preciate it.

Thanks to Mr Nigel Cowley, our resident pro-fessional, for allthe work you do and for putting

up with all the flack you receive for being anEnglishman.

Thanks to Johannes and Zuma for allthe workyou do in making sure the practice and matchfacilities are always up to scratch.

Ngiyabonga!

Lst XIIntroduction

The Durban High School 1d Team, ably led

by Captain Craig Horrock, and Vice-captainPaul Waldburger, endured a year of resultswhich were 'so close, yet so far'. The teamhad a powerful batting line-up, and the bats-

men proved themselves again and again, Paul

Waldburger providing the back-bone of manysuccessful innings, scoring six fifties in the sea-

son. Twin brother, Mark, often got the in-nings off to a good start. No one will ever for-get his near match-winning effort againstMaritzburg College, where Mark's defiiantT6perfectly captured his fighting spirit. CraigHorrock, whose elegant stroke play improvedas the season progressed, and Faeez Khan,who worked the ball to all corners of the field,will feel that they certainly could have scored

more nms. They often failed to play themselves

in and went out to a combination of bad luckand bad shot selection. Unfortunately, thesame could be said about many in the top or-der, who were talented, but sometimes did notlive up to their potential. The find of the sea-

son was Hashim Amla. Debuting againstMaritzburg College in the first term, he played,

together with Timothy Harvey a face-saving,near match-winning innings. After a succes-

sion of disappointments though, his class

shone through and he started scoring freely inthe final term. His ferocious innings against

Westuille in the fourth term included twelvesarage boundaries. Players such as himself and

Tim Harvey will score many runs next year.

The bowling department looked very good at

the beginning of the year, but a niggling backinjury to Travis Henderson, cost the team its

only genuinely quick bowler. His inclusion inthe Natal A side, already full of excellent fast

bowlers, is testimony to the team's loss. Faeez

Khan, certainly not a medium pacet was some-

times guilty of inaccuracy, bowling far toomany wides and no balls. He wasn't immuneto brilliance at times though, and, if it was his

watch out for in the First X1 next year. Theyhave the talent to keep the excellent traditionof cricket success going in 1999. Wth self-

belief, this will be a season to remember.

There are many people who need to bethanked after a cricketing season. In particu-lar, I would like to thank Nigel Cowley, whosehand work, whether encouraging a batsman,

or helping a bowler bowl his in-swinger more

effectively, or preparing what has become oneof the best school wickets in Kwa-Zulu Natal,or simply offering his experience to the team,has been invaluable. Also, I would like to thankthe wonderful parents, who have given so

many hours to supporting their team. Themothers have provided delicious teas and given

a great amount of time to redecorating thetea-room. For this, a very special thank you toMargie Kent for her leadership. Also, I would

like to thank all my fellow cricket coaches atDHS for their hard work and the exception-ally professional manner in which they do theirjobs. It is because of their guidance that DHScontinues to produce First Team and First Class

cricketers of note. I would also like to thankAlan Norton for his efficient running of Cricketat DHS. Finally, my deepest thanls, and those

of the team, must go to our scorer, ClaytonBurne, who was an incredibly efficient (if some-

what enigmatic) scorer, a friendly critic and

even a net bowler at our practices this year.

His statistics were exemplary, and this report isa revised version of a report which he produced

on the whole season. Thank you, Clayton forbeing such an important part of the team.

It has been an historic year for DHS cricket, and the team has toured in-ternationally, played several touring teams locally, and set several significant records along the way. If this report is therefore long, it is only because the team deserves to be acknowledged for a legendary year. If I lapse into what may seem like hyperbole and exaggeration when I describe this team's exploits, both on and off the field, I promise you that I am in fact understating their achievements. The theme this report on the 1999 season will be "Legends and Fairytales", because this season has contained so many incidents which are the very stuff of ancient fables. If you told me, at the start of the year that: the 1999 First XI would set a new record in the long and proud DHS cricketing tradition, of 21 victories in a row, I would have been very pleased indeed. If you then told me that a prestigious dinner would be arranged by the parents of the team, and that this dinner would be ad-dressed by an old boy of the school, Barry Richards, who is recognised worldwide as one of the best batsmen of all time, I would start to think that you may be exaggerating the truth a little bit. If you told me that the same team would tour England and Wales and win every one of its fixtures there, including one against the County U19 champions of England, and would steal the Castle International Cricket Festival trophy away from the English along the way, I would have been ecstatic, but incredulous. If you told me that, on the tour, one of the players would score the highest score ever on a tour, and the second highest for DHS, in front of a 1930 old boy who played in the first ever DIIS team to beat Michaelhouse at cricket, and that another player would take only the second hat-trick in the modern era for DHS, in the same match, I would start to find your story a little difficult to believe. If you then told me that another player, who had shown such incredible potential, but never quite reached three figures, would score his debut century on

the same ground where Sachin Tendulkar scored his debut school century, I would start to think that you had a tendency towards compulsive lying. If you told me that the same team would return to South Africa and be the only team to win all four fixtures at Michaelmas Week, South Africa's premier cricket festival, including Grey College (from the Free State); ICES (from Gauteng), having just beaten Milnerton (from the Cape) and Waterkloof (from the Northern Province), some of the top schools from the traditionally strong cricketing provinces, I would recommend a fairly good psychiatrist to deal with your fantasy world! If you told me that the team's Captain, who was only in Grade 11, would play for the Kwazulu-Natal Dolphins Team in a friendly, and the Kwazulu-Natal `B' team, against an international touring team, I would more than likely begin proceedings to have you committed. If you then went on to tell me that, by the end of the season, the team's top four batsmen would all have scored centuries, and the top eight, yes eight… would all have scored half-centuries; that the team would come back after being beaten by College by eight wickets in the first term, to beat them by 67 runs on Goldstones, in the fourth term; that the team would play its final fixture of the year at a test ground, Kingsmead, and beat our traditional rivals, Glenwood, in front of a mass of seething, chanting green blazers, and that a tireless, committed, inspirational 'old man' of the team, playing his last ever match for DHS, would hit the winning runs in the final over, with two balls to spare, by driving it straight past the bowler for four, I have no doubt that I would think that you were the local village idiot living in your own moronic dream world... things like that just don't happen! Not in real life, only in legends and fairytales. This remarkable group of young players made all of the above true in their lives this season! But legends don't happen without a great deal of hard work, and there are several people who need to be thanked for their contribution to this season's successes.

Firstly, I would like to thank my co-coaches, Connell Theunissen (who travelled to Michaelmas Week) and Ryan Warren (who shared the tour experience with the team). Mr Theunissen is a relentless supporter of DHS, and his many hours of umpiring and constant words of encouragement for the team were most appreciated this year. Ryan ‘Froggie' Warren, who was given this nickname, because tree-frogs seemed to follow him, making rude noises wherever he went on tour, was the perfect companion overseas. Since the tour, he and I spend hours discussing the tour and its characters. He had a profound influence on the spirit and approach of the players on tour, and must take a great deal of credit for the team's performance overseas. Secondly, I would like to thank Nigel Cowley, on behalf of myself and the team, for his hard work and dedication to developing the players' techniques and tactical ability. His wealth of experience as player, coach and groundsman, has been invaluable to the team this year. He is a man who elicits immediate respect from the players for his sincere and no-nonsense approach to the sport, and his empathy with and understanding of the players and their struggles on the field. He also, has changed the DHS pitch from an unreliable `snake-pit' to a beautifully manicured wicket which is fair to both batsmen and bowlers. His contribution to the success of the team this year cannot be overlooked. Thirdly, I would like to thank our two scorers this year: Richard Starky and Joy Theunissen. These members of the team are so often taken for granted, because they sit in hot, shadowy rooms like bats in their caves and are often out of the limelight, but, they are as vital to the game as the umpires, and so, I would like to say a huge thank you to Richard for the many hours which he has sacrificed for the team, and for the neat attention to detail which he showed this season. And equally to Joy, for her scoring abilities, and for her vociferous support of Calvin MacGregor... I mean the

team. Her plaintive calls of, `Go Calvin!' from the scorer's box, will be one of the lasting memories of the season for me. Fourthly, I would like to thank another group of often-unsung heroes, and these are my fellow coaches at DHS. It is all very well to say that the First XI has done very well, but, I believe that the really hard work, as far as the players' development is concerned, has already been done, by the time that they begin playing at First Team level. It is merely a case of fine-tuning and getting the players to believe in themselves when they wear the yellow cap, but, it is their experiences in the navy cap that makes them the cricketers which they are, and so, I would like to acknowledge and thank my fellow coaches for their input into the 1999 First Eleven. Thank you for giving me such strong building blocks with which to work. A great deal of credit for this season must go to the Master-in-Charge of cricket, Alan Norton, whose administration of the sport allows the vast cricket machinery to run smoothly and with remarkable efficiency. The Headmaster's continuous support has also been a vital ingredient in this season's success, particularly the laudatory letters which he wrote, personally to the First XI at the end of the year. Lastly, I would like to thank a group of people for whom I hold a special place in my heart: the parents of the group of young gentlemen who made up the First XI. I cannot express in words how much it means to a school coach to know that he has the trust and support and friendship of the players’ parents. The team has been an extended team this year, an extended family. Immediately after our wins this year, I could count on a can of brown liquid being shoved into my hand and a round of sincere hugs from the mothers. The successes of the team have been due, in no small part, to the unity and trust of this group of people. It seems unfair to highlight a few from amongst such a remarkable group, but I must mention: Dr and Mrs Amla, the Captain's parents, who have provided much

appreciated refreshments, encouragement and even medical consultations on field (free of charge!) both locally and on tour overseas! To Zakia Amla and all the Moms, thanks for all the delicious teas and the hours of work behind the tea counter, and for just being such warm-hearted Moms! A vote of thanks must also go to the parents of our Vice-captain, Don Coskey and Michelle, who almost single-handedly organised the fund-raising effort for the tour. Don and Michelle, our Chairman and Financial Secretary, brow-beat, cajoled and generally `rashed' us to work as hard as possible to raise the funds for the tour, and, despite the fact that some of our meetings in the staffroom were very heated, the resultant success of the tour was worth all the heat and other hassles! All the parents were heavily involved in the fund-raising effort, and the tour's success is a testament to their hard work. Finally, we need to acknowledge and thank a surrogate mother, not only for the team, but some of the school and most of the boarding establishment; the unofficial Headmistress of the Durban High School, Mrs Pat Moore. Pat is a tireless supporter of DHS cricket, a tea and lunch and braai organizer par excellence, and a mid-wife to most of the First Team's activities. A great, warm thank you must go to Aunty Pat. At the end of an amazing season, Hashim Amla was selected for the Natal Schools 'A' team and went on to make the South African Schools Colts team after Coca-Cola Week. Such was the province's confidence in him as a player, that he was also selected to play for the Kwa-Zulu Natal Dolphins team at the tender age of 16, when he played against the touring Zimbabwean team. Imraan Khan also made the Natal Schools 'A' Team and did well at the week. Tim Harvey made the Natal Schools ‘B’ team as opening batsman and helped this team to make the final of their section of Coca-Cola Week. Creesen Naicker was selected as wicket-keeper batsman for the USSASA Zonal Under-17 team, and the South African Under-17 Squad. Jaques Voss, was selected to play at this week, but, was unfortunately injured.

Awards

At the end of the season, the following awards were made: HONOURS: Hashim Amla, Craig Horrocks, Imraan Khan COLOURS: Tim Harvey, Wesley Bartho, Barry Coskey Chris Kent HALF COLOURS: Jaques Voss, Creesen Naicker Calvin McGregor, Wayne Van Vuuren Brangan Hulley

Conclusion There can be no doubt that the 1999 First XI will be remembered as a legendary one. They will never know how much I enjoyed walking out to watch them play each match, and how proud I was, just to be associated with them, in a small way, as they went about bringing glory to their school and themselves. I feel certain that the inspiration which they have provided for the whole school, will be something which they will continue to develop next year, when most of them will be returning. They are to be thanked for restoring our faith in Fairytales. Long may such stories live in our hearts. Geoff Mace: First XI Coach (1995-1999)

_--a

Wayne lanse Van Vuuren:Colours; KwaZulu Natal B Team.

He is a sweet timer of the ball and enjoyed a

good year with the bat and fielding at second

slip. Potentially a good cricketer but he

needs to become mentally tougher and

convert more thirties and forties intocenturies. If he has the desire and

commitment he could go far. He received

the Most Improved Cricketer of the Year

award at the cricket dinner.

Imraan Khan:Honours:KwaZulu Natal ATeam; S.A. Schools Colts

XI; SouthAfrican Under 19.

A gifted all-round cricketer who makes the

game look easy. He doyed an averageyear

with the bat and an excellent year with the

ball. Greater responsibility will fall on his

shoulders in the batting departrnent next year

and those good looking forties simply willnot be good enough. A big spinner oftheball which often had the opposition guessing'

He needs to work on his left arm in his

delivery. He received the Bowler ofthe Year

Award at the cricket dinner.

Scott Mathie:Half Colours.An unorthodox but effective middle order

batsman and a superb fielder. If the wicket

happened to be flat and School had got offto a good start then he was the perfect man

to come in and lay into the opposing attack'

He was the recipient of the Team Man of the

YearAward.

Jacques Voss:

Colours; Southern Coastals Ul7 Team'

A talented all-rounder who improved as the

year unfolded. His bowling was superb in

the fourth term and he was unlucky not to

make one of the Coca Cola Week teams. He

is a technically sound batsman but did not

get many opportunities this year. Next year

the team will need him to score runs and take

wickets. He needs to work on his mental

approach and have more self-belief in his

ability.

Creesen Naicker:Colours; KwaZuluNatal C Team.

A good wicket-keeper and lower order

batsman. Definitely one of the loudest

cricketers around, on and off the field. Agood team man who always gave ofhis best'

He needs to keep working on his batting ifhe wants to reach the highest level.

Brundon Ehlers:Colours.A quiet and dedicated cricketer with a sound

technique and a good attitude. When he is

set he is a pleasure to watch, but he tends to

throw it away just when he is starting to

dominate. He needs to put less pressure on

himself to succeed and go out and enjoy the

game and the rest will take care of itself'

Luke Hounsom:Half-Colours.A good team man who always tried his best'

He started the fourth term offreally well, but

unforhrnately missed most of the term due

to a back injury. When his rhYthm was

right he could be quite sharp, but he tended

to be inconsistent. I trust he will continue to

enjoy this great game in the years ahead'

Brangan HulleY:Colours; KwaZuluNatal B Team.

The scatter brain ofthe side but a good team

man. He bowled well this year and was

rewarded with his selection for Coca Cola

Week. He needs to improve his fielding next

year and with hard work his batting should

continue to imProve.

Marc Rogers:Half-Colours.

PLAYER CRITIQUE:

year, averaging 59 with the bat and 18 withthe ball.He has had an outstanding three years

in the first side and this culminated in hisselection as the Kwa Zulu Natal A teamCaptain for Coca Cola Week.Just how far he

goes will depend solely on him because there

is no doubting his talent but in the Big Worldtalent is only one of the ingredients needed

to be successful.I will follow his career as itevolves over the next few seasons.He was

Striker award for most runs scored in the year

and the Chris Catto Award for the greatest

contribution to cricket at the cricket dinner.

ASHRAF KADWAHonoursKwazulu Natal ATeamHe worked hard at his game this year and

was one of the most improved cricketers inthe side.He had a quiet start to the year but

enjoyed an excellent second half with bat and

ball.A quiet and determined young man whowas an excellent team man.He has ability and

a very good work ethic which will stand himin good stead in the future.He will need to

sort out a few technical flaws in his battingespecially the top hand grip as he moves up

the ranks and wants to do well.He receivedthe Bowler of the Year award at the dinner.

JACOBUS VAN HEERDENColoursHe started the year as a fringe player but bythe end was a key player.He provided solidityin the middle order for the first term but inthe fourth term he made the opening spot hisown with some really solid performances.He

Cricket continues to grow and the challenge

of finding coaches, matches and venues forthe varius sides remains a tough task. TheCricket Academy has grown over the last nvoseasons and should provide our cricketers withthe skills and knowledge to improve theirperformances.

WA. NortonMaster-in-C harge: Cric ket

1ST TEAM2002 proved to be a tough year from a results

point ofview as School had an inexperienced

team which struggled to perform consisrenrly.

Some matches saw the team playingwonderful cricket and winning handsomely,and other performances were far below theteam's abiliry. I hope the junior members ofthe side have learnt much during rhe year and

hopefully 2003 wiil see them fulfilling their

potential out in the middle - where it countsl

Thanks to the lst XI for their hard work andcommitment during the year. To the matrics,I know how much you will miss the 400's nextyear and I trust you will continue ro enjoy thisfine game. Thanks to Nazeen Mahomed andDer.yn van Niekerk for your leadership - nodoubt that the captains take the credit andcriticism in the game of cricket.

TFIANKS TO:Parents: For the support ofyour sons; I knowthey appreciate it and the mothers for the tea-

duties. The Head Master fol his continuedsupport and many hours watching from the

side of the field. Cricket staff for all the timeand effort you have invested in DHS cricket.Ground Staff: Johannes, Zo.ma and Nicholas,for the hard work in ensuring top match and

practice facilities.

NAZEEN MAHOMEDCaptain; Colours; KZN "C" Team

A pleasant and quiet young man who let the

responsibility of captaincy affect his own playand struggled throughout the year with the bat.

He is a fine keeper and will continue to enjoythe game in the years ahead. He needs to relax

and just enjo1, the game and the results willcome . He was rhe recipient of the Team Manofthe Year award at the cricket dinner.

DE/YNVAN NIEKERKCaptain for the fourth term; HaIf ColoursA gutsy and cocky cricketer who made a

positive impact from the start and the team

started to gel nicely in the fourth rerm. He

should be a good leader in 2003 and should

contribute with the bat.

CAL\4N FLO\TERSColours; KZN "B" Team

Technically an outstanding cricketer withtremendous potential. He enjoyed a good year

with both bat and ball and rve look forward to

a good 2003. He needs to get tougher and to

treasure his wicker a bit more - and, hopefully,

repeat the brilliant innings againsc

Michaelhouse again. He received the MostImproved Player of rhe Year at the cricketdinner.

VAUGHAN COETZEEColours; KZN "C" TeamA quiet and committed team member whoscored the most runs during the year. He is a

natural s\veet-timer of the ball and improved

mentally through the year. He needs to workon his fielding. He will continue to enjoy the

game in the future. He received the Shaun

Broughton Super Striker Award at the cricket

dinner.

DARREN COVENDERColours; KZN Under 17 TeamA good striker of the ball who forced his way

into the side during the fourth term. He played

a wonderful match-winning innings againsr

Glenwood when School was dead and buried.

He needs to work on his fielding and make

WA. NORTON.

lst XI Coach :

Cricket continues to grow and the school

fielded 22 sides during the year.Providing

matches,coaches and venues remains a

challenging task.Thanks to MrGrayson Heath

for the use of the DHSOB ground- which has

enabled the U16A and U15A sides to enjoy at

least half of their matches at home during the

season.The Cricket Academy is going strong

and is staning to provide the quality cricketers

that was envisaged at the start in 2001.Thanks

to all the cricket staff who put in endless hours

for the good of the PuPils and the

school.Thanks to the ground stafffor all efforts

during the year to ensure quality practice and

match facilities.A special thark you to the the

Head Master,Mr Bennison, who is retiring at

the end ofthe year,for all his support ofcricket

over the years.

lSTTEAMA very talented team on PaPer butunfortunately did not Produce the

performances or the results that they were

capable of.If the side scored enough runs they

defended the total on most occasions as the

attack was varied and good.Generally the

batting let the side down this year as only one

batsman averaged above 30 - simply not good

enough if you want to play in the big league

and do well. I enjoyed working with the side

and they always had a smile or a chirp.Maybe

this was a weakness too as they generally

lacked the killer instinct.I know that many ofthe players will go on to play league cricket -and I see this as my chief role as a coach - todevelop cricketers who enjoy the game and

who will continue to play the game after

school.I trust that playing 1st Xl cricketdefrnitely will not be the pinnacle of your

cricket career.Good luck to all of you.Thanks

to DevanVan Niekerk and CalvinFlowers for

their leadership and commitment during the

year. Thanks to the parents for their support ofthe team and their sons.Thanks to Mrs Moore

for all her efforts during the Year.

PLAYER CRITIQT]E:

DEYYN VAN NIEKERKCaptain; Colours; Captain - KZN u17 team

year progressed but is very stubborn and

does not take advice or help very well.Hewill find out quickly that there are certain

ANTHONYBOUFFEColoursHe was probably the most consistent performer

in the side and enjoyed a good year with the

ball.He will need to improve his fielding and

stay fit during the off season to maintain his

form.He should be a key team member in 2004.

RYANVAUGIIANHalf-CoIoursHe is a very frustrating cricketer for a coach

as you want him to do well and he has a good

attitude but he throws his wicket away at

random.If he canbecome mentally tougher and

tighter in 2004 - he will be a force as he has

the ability.I expect many runs from him in2004.

ALISTAIR HARGREAVESColoursHe had a very average first term for a player

of his ability and then was selected to take part

in the SA u19 rugby trials during the fourth

term.He therefore did not play during term

four.I hope he will be available for 2004 but

wish him well for his bid to make the u19

World Cup Rugby squad.

in the batting department where his coolhead and experience would have seenthe side chase totals better than they did.Ienjoyed working with him over the last2 years and wish him well for the future.

ABDUL RAZAKHonours, KZN U19He enjoyed a very good year with the ball ,

collecting 30 wickets at an average of l4.Hewas effective in the middle order averaging2l with the bat and is a very good closecatcher.He is a talented bowler and has afuture in cricket if he is prepared to workreally hard and improve his athleticism. I willfollow his career with interest. He received theBest Bowler of the Year at the cricket dinner.

CEDRIC MABUYAHonours, KZN U 19A talented cricketer who really has theability to make the game look easy attimes.Unfortunately this talent is oftenhis downfall as he becomes arrogant andplays a false shot.He enjoyed a good seasonaveraging 39 and I expect big things from himin 2005 when he will be a kev team member.

CHESLIN NHLAPOHonours, KZN U19He improved nicely through the year andwas probably the most consistent batsmanof the 46 term.He will have to learn toconvert those 30's and 40's into big scores in2005.He is a hard-working and committedcricketer .He will be a key team membernext year. He received the Most ImprovedCricketer of the Year at the cricket dinner.

MDUDUZI MBATHAHonours , KZN U19Another very talented cricketer who

enjoyed a good l"tterm but had a poor 4sterm.A very positive cricketer who still hasanother 2 years at this level.He needs toshow more patience and will need to workharder at his game if he hopes to fulflll hisability.I expect big runs from him in 2005.

YAZEED VALLY-MAHOMEDHonours, KZN U19A very disappointing year for a talentedcricketer in his 3'd yearin the l,tXl.He did notwork on his game at all during the year andas a result lost his place in the side at the startof the 4'h term.I wish him well for the future.

ANTHONYBOUFFEColoursHe had another very good year with the balland only missed out on the BestBowler awardby 1 wicket.A very consistent performerand a really good team man. Even after thedisappointment of not making the KZN U19side he came back to bowl even better interm 4. I will follow his path as he movesinto the club ranks.He received the ChrisCatto Award for the Greatest Contributionto Cricket at DHS at the cricket dinner.

SHIRAAZ RASOOLColours, KZN U17A good cricketer who had a fair season with theball.He was asked to fllI the no 3 spot in term4 and tried his best.I have enjoyed workingwith him over the last season and a half.

DAAN GERMISHUIZENColours, KZN U17A good cricketer who enjoyed a good yearwith the ball and was a good team man. Iam sure he will continue into the club ranksnext year. I wish him well for the future.
