Lack of partnerships leaves King Cetshwayo wanting

Win ratio drops for Redinger

RH Construction King Cetshwayo captain Jason Redinger’s win ratio dropped to fifty percent after he and his troops went down by 41 runs to Crusaders in a Castle Premier League match played at Addison Park on Sunday.

The Durban outfit batted first, tallying 194/9 in their allotted 50 overs.

Speed merchant Neill Jordan (3/34 in 9) and left-arm orthodox spinner Stephan Joubert (3/42 in 9) were the pick of the home side’s bowling attack.

They were supported by all rounder Ruan Janse van Rensburg (1/21 in 10), speedster Dale van der Merwe (1/32 in 6) and spinner Chad Neuhoff (1/34 in 10).

Failing to form solid partnerships once again saw King Cetshwayo become unstuck, eventually being dismissed for 153 in the 48th over.

Wicketkeeper Daryl Hattingh managed an unbeaten stand of 34, which was not enough to aid his side over the line.

Van der Merwe managed 23 with the willow, Daryn Dupavillon accumulated 23 before getting caught off the bowling of T Koen, Joubert recorded 19 and Redinger 15.

The only partnership worth mentioning was the brave ninth wicket stand of 33 runs.

The squad will now take a break over the festive season and will be back in action when they take on Pinetown away on 14 January.
