of Cape Cobras and Western Province, who made 1077 runs at 107.70 in the domestic season – but these included an innings of 211* played in Namibia. The award of bowling honours is less ambiguous, as Duanne Olivier’s 64 wickets at 16.51 for Knights, Free State and the national side were all taken in South Africa, and put him 22 wickets ahead of any other bowler. He took 52 wickets at 18.13 in the Sunfoil Series alone, making him the leading wicket-taker in that competition; the equivalent leading run-scorer was Colin Ackermann (Warriors) with 883 runs at 51.94. Leaders in the Three-Day Cup were P.J.Malan with 1069 runs at 118.77, and debutant quick bowler Migael Pretorius (Northerns) with 42 wickets at 17.78. The scorecards of Namibia’s home matches in the Three-Day competition can be found in the Rest of the World section. The other 13 provincial teams go to make up the franchises for the Sunfoil Series as follows: Cape Cobras = Western Province and Boland; Dolphins = KwaZulu-Natal and KwaZulu-Natal Inland; Knights (formerly Eagles) = Free State and Northern Cape (formerly Griqualand West); Lions = Gauteng and North West; Titans = Northern and Easterns; and Warriors = Eastern Province, Border, and South Western Districts).
