I hope SAfmRadio 📻 are more circumspect about playing the Transport Minister’s adverts. They should be labelled electoral adverts. It is not Transport month. There is no public good communication element to them. Stephen Grootes this is abuse of public resources.

After the Lions's 10-wicket beating of the Dragons in the CSA T20 Challenge, Lions's Wiaan Mulder told me he's not too confident he'll make the T20 World Cup squad.
Says he doesn't think his T20 Challenge performances will earn him a spot. Full interview:

Connor Esterhuizen ends the match in style as he lofts leg-spinner Caleb Seleka over the covers for 6. Lions win by 10 wickets with 64 balls to spare. Esterhuizen & Zubayr Hamza both end on 41* off 28 balls, great batting to win the game so convincingly. Bonus point win!

Connor Esterhuizen (23*) unfurls a couple of gorgeous drives for 4 off Gideon Peters & then Zubayr Hamza (26*) cuts loose in the last over of the powerplay off Ruan de Swardt, goes 4-6-4, as Lions reach 50 off 37 balls.

The NW innings is all over, 85 all out, as Mungroo (9) swings wildly at a lovely slower ball from Yusuf & is bowled. Excellent bowling & fielding effort by Lions, Mulder (2-0-9-2) & Sipamla (3-0-18-2) set the tone up front & then Peter (4-0-22-3) ripped through the lower-order.

Bamanya Xenxe (8) has now played all around a straight from left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin and is trapped lbw. North-West Dragons 75-9 in the 16th over.

Peter takes 2 wickets in 2 balls in 13th over. 1st one not such a good ball - short - pulled by Muthusamy (6) but Esterhuizen takes great catch running in from boundary, scooping up low catch diving forward. 2nd wicket a beauty, Seleka bowled 1st ball by brilliant slider. 65-7

Ruan de Swardt goes now for 7. Tried to work Evan Jones leg-side, but got a big leading edge, steepling down to third man & caught by Nqaba Peter. NW Dragons 63-6 (12).

Young leg-spinner Nqaba Peter is introduced in the 11th over & makes an almost immediate impact, bowling Raynard van Tonder (12 off 12) with his 2nd delivery. Batsman gave himself room to hit through the off side but was deceived & bowled neck & crop. NW Dragons 54-5 (10.2)

Last ball of the 10th over is an atypical wide full toss from Bjorn Fortuin & Raynard van Tonder slaps it through the covers for 4 to bring up the Dragons' 50. North-West 53-4 at the halfway mark ...

Wihan Lubbe showed some intent for the Dragons in scoring 22 off 14 with 2x6, but now he swings Lutho Sipamla away on the leg-side, but straight to Connor Esterhuizen at deep square-leg. North-West 45-4 (8.2).

Another Dragons batsman falls trying the big drive. This time it's Lesiba Ngoepe (9 off 14) skying a drive out to Mitchell van Buuren at deep cover off Lutho Sipamla. North-West 36-3 (6.1).

Wiaan Mulder strikes in his 2nd over as well! Rubin Hermann (3 off 12) leaning back & trying to hammer another back-of-a-length delivery over the off-side, loops a catch to the back-pedalling Temba Bavuma at extra cover. NW Dragons 12-2 (3.3)

Wiaan Mulder strikes with his 1st ball! Mika-Eel Prince (1) trying to drive straight over the top, bit on the up, and he mishits a catch to Bjorn Fortuin running from mid-on. NW Dragons 2-1 (1.1)

North-West have won the toss & decided to bat first at the Wanderers in their match against the Lions. Lovely sunny afternoon.
Lions have made a couple of changes to their batting line-up, Zubayr Hamza & Connor Esterhuizen both playing today.

So very sad to hear of the passing of Brandon Foot. A wonderful man and a great contributor to the game of cricket. Very sad, especially for Titans/Northerns cricket.
