Runs and wickets for South Africans in County Championship
Keith Lane - 18 June 2002

During a wet round of County Championship matches, in which three matches ended in draws, the South Africans playing in England succeeded in making some good contributions to their various teams. A turn around in form saw most of them failing during the weekends Norwich Union limited overs matches.

Hampshire held out for a draw against Somerset with Neil Johnson 35 and Nic Pothas 22 helping Hampshire to a first innings lead. Johnson taking 3/22 in the Somerset innings. A collapse by Hampshire in the second innings, bowled out for 98, Johnson score two and Pothas a duck, saw them hold out for a draw with Johnson taking 3/36.

Warwickshire had a good win against high riding Leicestershire with Shawn Pollock and Neil Carter once again in the wickets. Pollock taking 3/36 and Carter 2/60 in the first innings and 3/23 and 1/30 respectively in the second. Pollock followed up his 11 runs in the first innings scoring a valuable 65. Cater only batted in the first innings scoring 12.

Mark Davis was on the winning side as Sussex beat Yorkshire scoring 22 but unable to get any wickets.

In another rain affected drawn match between Worcestershire and Durham Allan Donald showed that he still a long way away from his sell-by-date taking 5/77 with the ball and scoring five not out with the bat.

A waterlogged pitch on day one of the Middlesex and Glamorgan match made sure the match was always going to end in a draw. Sven Koenig however continued his season's form scoring 86 for Middlesex.

A second innings collapse by Nottinghamshire helped Derby to a four wicket win. Nicky Boje 84, Kevin Pieterson 34 and Greg Smith three not out in the first innings and 10, 14 and 27 respectively in the second was not enough to secure a win. Boje with 2/83 and 3/28, Smith 0/59 and 2/24, and Pieterson 0/25 and 1/32 had to be content with the four wicket loss. For derby Andrew Gait scored 52 and 20.

The Norwich Union matches saw only four of the South Africans getting into double figures and only two bowlers taking any wickets.

Gait, Donald, Johnson, and Smith all unable to score a run while Koenig got one and Boje five. Of the rest Pollock scored 15, Carter 17, Pieterson 19 and Pothas 27.

Donald, Johnson, Boje, Pieterson and Carter failed to get a wicket between them while Smith took 2/53 and Pollock 3/20.
