Helderberg Cricket Club’s Gary-Jon Sylvester is the November 2016’s first Club Cricket SA Player of the Week.
Sylvester scored a superb century in the visitors’ key Western Province Cricket Association first division B victory over Pinelands Cricket Club on Saturday, 5 November.
Successfully chasing a staunch 299-run target, Helderberg Cricket Club relied heavily on captain Sylvester, who top-scored with 111 – and shared particularly important partnerships with fellow opener Larry Morkel and the talented Owen Thomas.
“I knew there was plenty of runs in the wicket. I just had to give myself a chance to get in and, thereafter, it would be come quite easy to bat. That’s exactly what happened. We played confidently and positively, as instructed,” the 27-year-old Sylvester told Club Cricket SA.
The left-hander’s solid vigil featured a dozen boundaries – and buoyed Helderberg Cricket Club ahead of 12 and 19 November’s vital WPCA first division B showdown with Somerset West Cricket Club.
