Dolphins toil with the ball in PMB<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Pietermaritzburg \u2013 The Hollywoodbets Dolphins were made to work hard for their wickets against the World Sports Betting Cape Cobras at the Pietermaritzburg Oval on day three of their CSA 4-Day Domestic Series match, with the visitors finishing the day level with the Dolphins\u2019 first innings score for the loss of three wickets.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins declared their innings closed overnight following a truncated day on Tuesday where weather played a significant role. With a 325 run deficit the Dolphins would have been happy with their start when Cobras captain Pieter Malan was dismissed by Rob Frylinck for just five.<\/p>\n

The Cobras then took control and Pieter\u2019s brother Janneman and Matthew Kleinveldt dominated for the majority of the day.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins had to wait 61 overs before they broke through again. Smangaliso Nhlebela picked up the wicket of Malan for 118 with the score on 233. The pair had put on 221 runs for the second wicket.<\/p>\n

Jason Smith was at the crease with Kleinveldt nine overs before he fell for 14, bowled by Andile Phehlukwayo.<\/p>\n

Kyle Verreynne and Kleinveldt then took the visitors to the close where the wiped off the rest of the deficit as Kleinveldt finished 137 not out and Verreynne was 31 not out at the close.<\/p>\n

Thursday is the fourth and final day of the clash as the Dolphins will hope to pick up wickets early to try and push for a result.<\/p>\n

Lubbe keen to impress for Durban Heat<\/a>: <\/p>\n

Durban<\/a> \u2013 After a late call-up into the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants team last season, all-rounder Wihan Lubbe is hoping to make an immediate impact when he strides out in Durban<\/a> Heat colours for this year\u2019s Mzansi Super League starting in the first week of November.<\/p>\n

The left-handed batsman, who is currently plying his trade for the North West Dragons, has made significant contributions for the men in maroon as well as for the Imperial Lions at a franchise level, and would like to translate that into good performances for the Durban<\/a> Heat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was hugely relieved to be picked up during the draft after missing out initially last year,\u201d the 26 year-old Lubbe said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAfter that, the excitement started building as did the realisation that hard work is paying off for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am really looking forward to joining up with the rest of the team and if the opportunity comes for me to play then I want to do myself justice with both the bat and the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to try and find out my role in the squad as quickly as possible and learn where I am going to fit in so I can fill that role as well as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lubbe has been on the professional cricket circuit in South Africa for a number of years so he will not have a problem incorporating himself into the squad. He is looking forward to meeting the players he doesn\u2019t know and building strong relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a lot of the guys in the Durban Heat squad but it\u2019s going to be great to build friendships with them that go beyond cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that as players we use these chances to create friendships with players from different backgrounds because we will be teammates for over a month,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Another opportunity that Lubbe is looking forward to is working with head coach Gary Kirsten.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be fantastic having someone with Gary\u2019s knowledge at the helm. It\u2019s incredible that I will be able to bounce ideas of someone with his experience and I cannot wait to learn from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trading the Highveld for the KZN coast for a month and a bit is another element of the Mzansi Super League that Lubbe is looking forward to.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously the beach is one of the things that I am looking forward to!\u201d he mentioned excitedly.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my good friends Marques Ackerman moved to the Dolphins and only has good things to say about the lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that there are a lot of good golf courses around there so I will definitely be trying those out!\u201d<\/p>\n
