What a finish its been, emotions running high here at the Wanderers

Dolley was run out off a ball that was pushed to covers, Cameron thorugh back to van Wyk who whipped off the bails and ended the match

Its been a special game for the team affectionately dubbed the Lion Cubs

Their coach, Larence Mahatlane is in the West Indies and the boys I'm sure will dedicate this performance to him.

Apologies for the typ, Lawrence, its all running very high here. Le Roux's century in the second innings gave the home side a real chance at victory

Congratulations to van Wyk who took the most dismissals in a season

Its been an absoulte pleasure scoring for this team and a great end to the season
