Justin Kemp and Robin Peterson are included in the SA "A" team and Garnett
Kruger has been called up as 12th man for the 4-day game against Australia,
starting on Friday at St. George's Park.
Adi Birrell, EP Coach, says he is extremely pleased about their inclusion.
"It is a great opportunity for them to play against the best side in the
world. A good showing during the match can enhance their careers
substantially. Kemp, Peterson and Kruger has worked very hard and we are
extremely excited to see these three in action on their home ground."
The performance consultant to EP Cricket, Kepler Wessels, says they are
obviously elated that the players now receive recognition for their
performance. "We just wish them all the luck and hope everything goes well."
Now that EP has three players in the SA "A" team, there is no reason why you
should stay home and NOT support Kemp, Peterson and Kruger. There is still
time to enter for the World Record Attempt that will be hosted by EP Cricket
in conjunction with the Knysna Oyster Co. and Protem Agencies.
The current World Record is held by James Arney. He devoured 64 oysters in
2.5 minutes at Bentley's Restaurant in London on 1 September 2000.
A tasty thing to remember is Sunday - which is a family day, but what better
way for the family to spend it than at St. George's Park. Lunch is available
for families at the Bojangles Club. Bookings can be made with Katherine Long
of Megapro on
041-5851646.
During the four match days there will be many Castle Lager and MTN
give-aways in Castle Corner. On Sunday, SAB will give away Castle Hampers
and there will also be a chance to win a ticket to the World Cup and
"Beer-for-a-Year".
Spec-Savers will give away thousands of Rands worth of sunglasses at the
game. EP Cricket's coaching department will also provide exciting on-field
entertainment during the lunch break.
