Kei cricket team were a South African first-class cricket team based in the Eastern Cape city of Mthatha. When Cricket South Africa decided to expand the Provincial Three-Day Challenge in 2006, Kei were one of five provincial teams (along with KwaZulu-Natal Inland, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and South Western Districts) elevated to first-class status. Kei played seven first-class matches in the 2006-07 season, losing them all by large margins, five of them by an innings. They also lost all six of their matches in the Provincial One-Day Challenge by large margins. None of their matches were played on their home ground in Mthatha. Their most successful batsman in the first-class matches was Sivuyile Duda,〔(Sivuyile Duda at Cricket Archive )〕 who scored 265 runs at an average of 18.92 including the team's only century, 102 against KwaZulu-Natal Inland.〔(KwaZulu-Natal Inland v Kei 2006-07 )〕 Keeping wicket, Duda also made four catches and a stumping in that match, and finished the season with 12 catches and two stumpings. He played one match for KwaZulu-Natal Inland in 2007-08. In a competition that was itself of borderline first-class status, Cricket South Africa considered Kei's performance (and those of Limpopo and Mpumalanga) too weak to justify their place, and after one season, all three teams were omitted.〔Colin Bryden, "Cricket in South Africa, 2006-07", ''Wisden'' 2008, p. 1338.〕 They have played no further first-class cricket. ==Lists of players== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kei cricket team」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
