Club Cricket SA Player of the Week: Michael Pote

Michael Pote Club Cricket SA Player of the Week

Rondebosch Cricket Club’s Michael Pote has been named Club Cricket SA Player of the Week, on the back of a sterling performance against Durbanville Cricket Club.

Pote struck a solid 65 in the first innings – and commanding 148 not out in the second – as last season’s Western Province Cricket Association premier league runners-up clinched a vital seven-wicket victory over the 2014-15 champions.

The talented left-hander’s century was particularly important after the relatively early fall of fellow opener Sean Hendrieck and the experienced Grant Edmeades, which paved the way for a restorative 170-run partnership alongside half-centurion James Burke.

Pote’s 148 not out featured 18 fours and two sixes – and spanned a mere 143 deliveries.
