The South African Veterans Cricket team started the Over-50 World Cup being played in Cape Town, with a good 193 run win against Wales at the Cape Town Cricket Club on Wednesday. Batting first the Proteas scored 253 for 5 in their 45 overs, with Captain Dave Callaghan scoring 52, Dave Duncan 57, while Alan Dawson top scored with an unbeaten 69 that included 6 sixes. Wales were all out for 60, with leg spinner Bruce Wilson, a former Claremont and Western Province Cricket Club stalwart, taking 4 for 9. Callaghan says it was great being out in the middle again and he was actually more concerned about getting injured, after Louis Koen had to leave the field early in the game with damaged ligaments.
