da brwin： Neil Manthorp26-Feb-2007Dynamic new-ball bowling from Charl Willoughby andAlan Dawson laid the platform for the Nashua Cape Cobras’ four-wicket victoryagainst the Eastern Cape Warriors in a low scoring encounter at Newlands onSunday.Willoughby equalled the the most economical analysis in the competiton’shistory with a spell of 4-0-8-1 and Dawson’s first two overs cost just eightruns as the Warriors limped to a meagre 46 for 1 at the half way point oftheir innings before rallying to reach 139 for 8.But the home side always looked in control once J-P Duminy (39) andHenry Davids (30) had added 69 in double-quick time for the second wicketleaving Rory Kleinveldt to clinch the vixtory in fine style by clubbing thefirst ball of the final over over the midwicket boundary to reach 140 for 6 withfive balls to spare.Earlier a determined half century from HD Ackerman had at least giventhe visitors a chance after opener and skipper Zander de Bruyn struggled tobreak the shackles imposed by Willoughby and Dawson. He finally found themiddle of his bat to strike three sixes in reaching 40 from 41 balls beforebecoming the first of a record three catches in the outfield for BenjiHector while Ackerman required just 37 balls for his 56 which included sixfours and a brace of sixes.The Cobras were forced to use no less than eight bowlers after VernonPhilander was removed from the attack for bowling two high full-tossesbefore completing his first over but nonetheless remained in control of theinnings throughout its duration.Despite a dozen sixes in the match, the game’s most dramatic highlightwas provided by Cobras batsman Henry Davids who took a stunning catch atdeep midwicket while heading at full pace towards the boundary rope. As hecrossed it, he dived into the air while flicking the ball back towards thefield of play where a startled Hector was credited with the catch.
