Tasmania's solid start
DAVENPORT.
Australia, Dec 13; South Africa, building for the opening Boxing Day cnocet Test
against Australia, were thwarted by belligerent Tasmanian batting on the opening day of their four-day match here today, reports AFP
Kick-started by a free-flowing opening partnership between Dene Hills and Jamie Cox. Tasmania gave the Proteas little Joy in the field finishing the opening day at 278 for three of 90 overs.
At the close, Shaun Young was not out 61 and captain and former Test No. 3 David Boon was on 23.
As part of the South African Test preparation, bowlers Pat Symcox and Shaun Pollock were rested. Into the side came Makhaya NUni, the 20-year-old black last bowler, for his first class debut for his country.
But all South Africa's frontline batsmen have been selected. with captain Hansie Cronje anxious that they get a good long time in the middle as they switch their attention from the one-dayera to the first Test against Mark Taylor's Australians.
Allan Donald and Ntinl. the opening pair found Hills and Cox in expansive form. With about half the runs coming in boundaries, they put on 95 by
liateh and accelerated further The'a^n^sSive^Hills hai life when a slash at Donald skimmed the tips of Jacques Kallis' fingers and flashed through to the boundary when he was on 59.
But it wasn't costly. Shortly afterwards he aimed a big drive at Kallis and was bowled for 68, which included 11 fours He and Cox had put on 134 in 152 minutes.
Cox, who was trying to keep the scoring moving, then failed to get on top of a cut off Kallis and was well caught by Donald in the gully for 73, including ten fours.
The normally aggressive Shaun Young had even more trouble than Scott Mason in breaking his duck, though this had less to do with nerves than his accuracy in picking out fieldsmen in what were now much more defensive platings.
It took him 47 minutes, plus the tea break, to trouble the scorer
Debutant Mason s innings ended when left-arm spinner Paul Adams trapped him leg before for 28.
By then Young was finally underway and, in the last hour, he started pulling and cutting powerfully The time he took to go from one to 50 was less than twice as long as he needed to open his account
With Boon mainly nudging and only occasionally opening
out."Ne turned the tmai hour into the most productive session since Hills and Cox were in full cry.
They can't expect favours from Boon, he's much more Interested in using this match to reinvigorate Tasmania's ailing Sheffield Shield campaign than helping South Africa prepare for the Test
Boon, who was delighted with his batsmen, made that clear when he said: "From a patriotic point of view as far as the greater picture is concerned, if we can nullify a bit of their ideal preparation, well, that would be good."
