cricket while battling mental health issues, late-blooming opener Sarel Erwee savoured a brilliant maiden century on Friday to drag South Africa back into the Test series against New Zealand. The 32-year-old lefthander's sparkling 108 on day one of the second Test at Hagley Oval helped the Proteas to a position of strength at 238 for three at stumps after captain Dean Elgar won the toss and sent his team in to bat. It was a stunning turnaround for both team and player, with Erwee managing only 10 runs on debut last week as South Africa crashed to their second-worst defeat in Tests in the first meeting at Christchurch.
