Remember The Name: Lhuan-dre Pretorius Saves Titans With Another Ton

Lhuan-dre Pretorius' reputation was elevated even further on Monday, after the teenage star struck a match-saving century to help the Titans share the CSA 4-Day Series with the Lions at the Wanderers.

Batting resiliently for over five hours, Pretorius notched his third century of the season, scoring a pivotal 114 runs that anchored his side to safety and salvaged what seemed to be an impending defeat.

The 19-year-old showed an impressive range of skills that defied the early perceptions of him as merely a white-ball player, which was on full-colour HD display in the Betway SA20 earlier this year.

The final day had its fair share of drama and high emotions. The intensity peaked after an on-field altercation between Dewald Brevis and Bjorn Fortuin, stirring the Lions hopes for a victory on Sunday.

However, when play resumed on Monday, the initial fervour seemed to wane, with both sides exhibiting a more subdued demeanour. Gone was the hostility from the previous day, and as the match progressed, it became clear that the Lions were unable to reproduce the consistency and pressure they had managed earlier.
