Jacques Snyman blasted the fastest-ever 4-Day Domestic Series century and the first pre-lunch ton in more than 40 years as he helped the VKB Knights dominate day one of the 2020/21 term against the Warriors in Bloemfontein on Monday.
The performance of the Knights on what was also new coach Allan Donald’s first match in charge, ensured cricket returned in spectacular fashion following more than seven months of no play due to Covid-19. By the time the 26-year-old was finally out before lunch, he had posted the highest score on day one of a domestic first-class match in South Africa since Lawrence Seeff hit 119 not out for Western Province B against Natal B at Cape Town in 1978.
The only blot on the scorecard was when the former was run-out by Matthew Breetzke. This after having also scored the first day one ton in the competition since Rilee Rossouw struck 108 not out for the Eagles against the Titans at Centurion in 2010.
