PORT OF SPAIN : West Indies batsman Alick Athanaze led home resistance as he fell agonisingly short of a maiden test century but still did enough to help ensure a draw in the first test against South Africa at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain on Sunday.
Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada combined on Saturday to earn South Africa a healthy first innings lead over the West Indies with the visitors attempting to defy the impact of inclement weather in seeking to force an unlikely victory going into the final day of the first Test of a two-match series in Trinidad. Steady rain restricted play to just the final session on the fourth day but in that time South Africa dismissed the home side for 233 in the first innings and then made their intentions clear in reaching 30 without loss off five overs in the second innings at the close.
The Proteas have named their side to face the West Indies in the first Test of a two-match series starting in Trinidad on Wednesday.
The Proteas have lost the services of fast bowler Gerald Coetzee for next month's two-Test series against the West Indies in the Caribbean.
Proteas red-ball coach Shukri Conrad announced on Monday his 16-man squad for the two-match Test series against the West Indies, which starts on 7 August.
JOHANNESBURG : Batsman Matthew Breetzke has received his first call-up to South Africa’s test squad for their two-match series in the West Indies next month, Cricket South Africa said on Monday.
South Africa's agonising seven-run loss to India in Saturday's Twenty20 World Cup final has only fired them up for future success as they reflect on a solid campaign in the tournament, says captain Aiden Markram.
"Gutted" and "hurt" after South Africa's heartbreak in the T20 World Cup final, skipper Aiden Markram was aware that they could have won the game against India while hunting down 177, which they felt was a "chasable total". South Africa stood so close to the trophy yet ended up so far. They had a sniff at lifting their World Cup trophy when the equation read 26 runs needed in the final four overs. With Heinrich Klaasen bossing the spinners and David Miller waiting to open his arms on the other end, victory seemed just moments away from South Africa's grasp.
