WP/Cobras cricket have had loads of issues and problems and failings in recent seasons but they starting to get quite a few things right.

WPCA appoint Puttick as batting consultant


Former Cape Cobras and Western Province stalwart, Andrew Puttick, has been appointed as a batting consultant for the Western Province Cricket Association. Puttick will invest his 20 years’ experience at first-class level into developing stars from Western Province who can represent South Africa.

“It was something Nabael (Dien, the chief executive officer of the Western Province Cricket Association) and I had discussed for quite some while. Ashwell (Prince, head coach of the World Sports Betting Cape Cobras) had also really encouraged me to stay involved,” he said.

Puttick retired at the end of last season after a final flurry – scoring his 78th century in his final first-class match.

Talking about his style, Puttick said: “I think one needs to be observant and then flexible. Every batsman has his own methods, technique and personality. One then needs patience to build up the relationship and trust – from there my goal is to make a batsman more effective at scoring runs.

“Slight technical adjustments are needed but it is more about helping batsmen with game plans, building confidence and batting smarter.

“There is a nice mix of young talented batters in the Western Province structures. They are hungry to impress and are pushing each other which is good. At Cobras level, Janneman (Malan) and Dave (Bedingham) have both passed 100 early in their Cobras careers, Zuby (Hamza) and Pieter (Malan) have been prolific at franchise level for a while now.

“Avi (Mgijima) has been brilliant in the middle order and played some great innings as has Kyle (Verreynne), who for a young guy has been very consistent and good in pressure situations. Jason Smith has great potential with both bat and ball,” Puttick said.

“For now, my aim is to offer guidance and practical skills to the batsmen and I want to try and enhance the levels of improvement of batsmen in the structures through the levels of WP U19, Academy, WP semi-pro and the Cobras, so that there will be strength in depth and competition for places and players moving on to be successful in international cricket,” Puttick concluded.

4 for Harmer, 4 for Nortje , 2 for Magala and a lead of 40 for Warriors. Not too bad.

Clyde Fortuin though with another double failure. Just found senior cricket very tough.

Hey SeamUp, which guy in this top 7 will be most feeling the axe hovering as the season unfolds due to the rise of Breetzke?

Craig Alexander is still a thing? Remember seeing him play for South Africa A against Australia A what must be a good 5 or 6 years ago, he was damn quick but was really spraying them around

:D Will have to be Colin Ackermann as an overseas player.

I'm not a massive Eddie Moore fan but you can't deny the runs he is scoring for the Warriors in 4-day cricket.

The captain JJ Smuts is probably a lock but is also a better limited overs player.

Interesting article here after his stint with SA now. Told to score runs for Eastern Province.

:laugh: I'm shocked myself. He was washed up 3 seasons or so ago. Hence the Dolphins releasing him. Can't believe the Lions re-signed him.

Jason Smith back in the runs. When you have Janneman Malan, Zubyar Hamza, David Bedingham and Kyle Verreynne. Things are looking pretty sweet. Then you have the best schoolboy batsman who has scored a List A 100 at 17 & broke the SA record for that on debut and it looks awesome.

Action shots from Dolphins v Warriors. Final day tomorrow. Other two games finished inside 3 days with Cobras 3 wins out of 3.

Vaughn doing what he has been doing for years. Hitting boundaries.

Day 2 above. Here is Day 1 with Eathan Bosch picking up a 5-for. 5th youngest in franchise cricket to do so after Wiaan Mulder, Michael Cohen, Daryn Dupavillon and Kagiso Rabada. Lungi Ngidi is 6th youngest.

Day 3 - Colin Ackermann 100

Muthusamy another 5-wicket haul and out-bowling Maharaj again. Genuine all-rounder. Needs runs this season though.
