RSA: Cullinan opens for Gauteng - Pollock hurt.

Bob Dubery (for CricInfo)
October 3 1998




Durban. Daryll Cullinan is to move up to the opening spot for South Africa in the forthcoming Wills series in Bangladesh, and he had a taste of the new ball in a friendly match against Kwa-Zulu-Natal on Thursday. Cullinan top-scored for his province with a quick and confident 60 (72 balls, 73 minutes, 9 4s). Derek Crookes, also batting higher than usual in the order, scored 53 at number 3, but saw three partners run out as Gauteng scored just 189/9 off their allotted 45 overs.

Kwa-Zulun-Natal won at canter, scoring 190/3 in 41 overs. Doug Watson opened for KZN and top scored with 79 not out, but his innings (113 balls, 142 minutes 8 4s) was more restrained than Cullinan's dashing knock. Jonty Rhodes (33, 29 balls, 6 4s) and captain Dale Benkenstein (35*, 20 balls, 3 6s, 2 4s) lent aggression to the KZN effort towards the end of the innings.

Victory had a price though. Shaun Pollock bowled just 4 overs before leaving the field with a back injury. The strain is not severe, but it may be enough to force the fast bowling star out of the opening matches of KZN's Standard Bank League campaign.

Prior to this game the same two provinces had played a friendly 3-day game, and this was dominated by Gauteng.

The visiting up-country team batted first and put on 372/5. They then bowled with more discipline than their coastal rivals to bowl them out for 175. Gauteng then took some batting practice and made 163/2 in their second innings.

Scores:

3-day game. Gauteng 372/5 121 overs (Cullinan 67, Rutherford 57, de Bruyn 96*, Pothas 105*) Kwa-Zulu-Natal 175 (Stewart 45, Eksteen 3/57) Gauteng 163/2 (Koening 75)

1-day game. Gauteng 189/9 45 overs (Cullinan 60, Crookes 53) Kwa-Zulu-Natal 190/3 41 overs (Watson 79)
