Centurion: Steve Elworthy was resigned to his fate of not being
included in the South Africa side for the first test against Zimbabwe
in Bloemfontein next weekend.
He knew that his first innings haul of seven wickets would not be
enough for the selectors to leave out Allan Donald from the side, yet
he carried on to take 10 wickets for the third time in his provincial
career.
``There are so many players who are in good nick and pressing to
places in the side and the competition is a healthy sign,'' he said.
As it now stands Northerns have a week's break between this game and
their next Pool A assignment, against Griqualand West in Kimberley
where they will no doubt hope to collect a better haul of bonus points
to boost their pool position.
At present Northerns are second to Gauteng while Easterns and Eastern
Province could be the two sides to drop out of the running for the
Super Eight's which start in December.
