TSHWANE: England extended their undefeated race in the Cricket South Africa (CSA) and South African Sports Association for the Intellectually Impaired (SASA II) Trination Series with a convincing eight-wicket victory over Australia on Friday.

After opting to bat first, Australia faced a quick downfall, getting bowled out in just under 16 overs. The English bowlers were instrumental in this feat, securing five crucial run-outs and collectively restricting Australia to a modest total of 99.

In response, England comfortably chased down the target, with Ronnie Jackson leading the charge with an unbeaten 53* off 34 deliveries. Daniel Bowser contributed 19 runs, Jonathan Gale added 15, and Christopher Edwards remained not out with 11*, solidifying England’s win.

On Thursday, South Africa (SA) came close but fell six runs short of the target against the Australian side.

Chasing 137 runs for victory, SA concluded their innings at 130/6. Key contributions came from Koketso Chabedi (26*), Mzwandile Mhlongo (25), and Jan Makololo (19*). Despite their efforts, South Africa couldn’t surpass the target set by Australia.

Albie Morkel: A talented South African all-rounder, Albie Morkel was often likened to Lance Klusener. Born to a cricketer father, it came as no surprise when he chose the game as a career option. However, he never had much of international success and now coaches the Namibian national cricket team.

  1. Rugby was originally called something else entirely – If historians are to be believed, the game we now know as rugby was initially played over 2,000 years ago by the Romans. The game was known by the Latin name Harpastum, derived from the Greek term for seize, which seems rather apt given the aim of the game.

  2. Lance Klusener, Abdur Razzaq, Shoaib Malik and Hashan Tillakaratne are the only players to have batted in 10 different batting positions in ODIs.
