Richards knocks it off with a couple 4's and a 6.

The bigger issue is why Coetzee only bowled 6 overs?

He hasn't played in any of the previous matches, so maybe coming back from injury and not bowling a full quota as a precautionary measure? Probably shouldn't have been picked if that's the case.

So I just had a thought (not sure if it's actually already a thing):
Since we're seemingly happy to force quotas in FC cricket, how about a youth quota? X numbers of players under Y age to be included in a FC team?
If this is to be implemented I would obviously do it once we're back to the extended provincial system as you don't want a similar situation to the racial quota system where guys like Andrew Birch are potentially not playing because of quotas. But if it's the difference between playing a talented but raw 20-year-old vs playing an unspectacular FC veteran, I'd want the former every time.
I think SA has a bit of an issue with nurturing youngsters - if you compare the ridiculous talent in our u19 teams to where they often end up, I think we need to be focusing on bridging the gap as much as possible.

He is a good striker of the ball. Can see it was a bit of a hit and hope situation and the Cobras bowlers probably panicked. Nice to see Nandre get some wickets as well.Hardus Viljoen with a century at better than a run a ball!

Anyone got any info on this Ryan Cartwright character?

Stop trying to get insider info for your CPL!
Don't know much, but would not be over enamoured with him, plays in the 3-day competition and not regularly it appears from number of FC games. Could be a late bloomer!

Big burly fast bowler. Saw him a while ago now though. Maybe high 130s then. It's so weird how many players the Titans have given opportunities too over the last 2 seasons. Really trusting their club system.
Pleased to see Daryn Dupavillon finally get a pitch that seamers can contribute on which is a surprise at Maritzburg.

Good, I like de Zozi.
Nice to see so many of the youngsters (20 to 25 age) getting runs.

Thought I’d add my thoughts on here for what it’s worth. Watched Cartwright bowl last week when Ruan Terblanche made a ton, to be fair I was pretty impressed with the limited amount I saw of him (that stretched a couple of spells). Certainly big and burly and looked like he hit the deck hard, the pitch at Boland had very little in it and he just peppered away in really good areas back of a length, good control from what I saw.
