Lhuan-dre Pretorius Becomes Youngest South African Batter To Score Test Century
Queens Sports Club: Teenaged left-handed batter Lhuan-dre Pretorius has become the youngest South African to score a Test century during his side’s first Test against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on Saturday.
In what is also his Test debut, Pretorius, aged 19 years and 93 days, reached his century with a single off the 113th ball he faced in his knock during the second session of day one’s play on Saturday. In the process, he broke the record previously held by Graeme Pollock to become the youngest Test centurion for South Africa.
Pollock was 19 years and 317 days old when he scored a Test century against Australia in Sydney in 1964. At the tea break, Pretorius is unbeaten on 128 off 141 balls, including hitting seven fours and four sixes after walking out to bat when the score read 23/3.
