1941-42 South African cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1941-42 South African cricket season saw only one first-class game. South Africa was involved in the Second World War and with the war came austerity and cricket matches played for the Currie Cup were considered too frivolous to be played in a country at war. No first-class games at all were played in South Africa in 1940-41. The game that was played in 1941-42 was held at Newlands in Cape Town between Western Province and Transvaal.
[edit] The match - Western Province v Transvaal (1-3 January)
Western Province drew with Transvaal
The Province batted first, securing 237 in 79.1 overs. In reply, James Pickerill's 71 was the top score, and Reginald Lofthouse's 4 for 63 the best return as Transvaal made 251 for 8 declared. Sidney Kiel had the best knock of the match with 128 not out as Western Province declared on 236 for 8. This didn't quite leave enough time for a result, with Transvaal making 166 for 6 before stumps were drawn.Scorecard
