Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>THE Ireland Wolves wrapped up their Namibian tour with a 22-run victory in their final 50-over match on Tuesday, to tie the series at 2-2, after Namibia A had earlier won the T20 series 2-1.<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite losing their final match, the Richelieu Eagles coach Pierre de Bruyn said the tour had served its purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outcome wasn’t really my focus; I wanted to see how the guys perform under pressure and how they implement their skills and I got those answers.<\/p>\n

There’s a lot of cricket these guys have played, seven or eight games in one series, so there’s a lot of information that I need to take on board. I specifically wanted to give young players or fringe players more opportunities, which I’ve done and I’ve got that information about where the players are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing is not nice, and today we came second, but I think it’s not because we were outplayed, I just thought our bowling at the death was well below par and we again had our batting woes of the top three or four not taking full responsibility. It’s not a matter of these guys not training, it’s just that we need to learn these lessons and we need to get better,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In Tuesday’s match, all-rounder Gareth Delaney starred with both bat and ball to win set up Ireland A’s victory.<\/p>\n

Ireland A were struggling at 77 for four wickets when he entered the field, but he turned their fortunes around with a great century, which saw the visitors reaching 252\/7 off their 50 overs.<\/p>\n

Delaney was eventually dismissed for 104 off 91 balls (4×4, 8×6), while the next best contributors were Stephen Doheny with 36 and Jeremy Lawlor with 30.<\/p>\n

For Namibia, Jan Frylinck took three wickets for 50 runs and Ben Shikongo 3\/85.<\/p>\n

Namibia’s top order batsmen once again failed to deliver, as they crashed to 112 for seven wickets, but Ruben Trumpelmann and Dylan Leicher revived their hopes with a century eighth-wicket partnership.<\/p>\n

Namibia’s hopes, however, faded when they were dismissed in quick succession, with Trumpelmann going for 67 off 60 balls (7×4, 2×6) and Leicher 46 off 76 balls (1×4), before Namibia were all out for 230 runs.<\/p>\n

Delaney was Ireland’s standout bowler, taking 5\/39 off 10 overs, while Josh Manley took 2\/50 and Fionn Hand 2\/56.<\/p>\n

Ireland Wolves coach Pete Johnson said it was a great match and series as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it was a great game of cricket, we corrected the mistakes of the last game and set a good total batting first. We did very well with the ball for a period and then Namibia got back into the game and we were really challenged at the death, so I think it was a brilliant game of cricket and a great series as a whole. It swung back and forth all the time, so it was very competitive and there were a lot of valuable lessons to take for both sides,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Richelieu Eagles now turn their attention to Uganda who have arrived for a three-match T20 and two-match 50-over series, starting at the United field tomorrow.<\/p>\n

De Bruyn said he was looking forward to the tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a lot of cricket ahead this year and I’m looking forward to the Ugandan tour which will offer more opportunities for our players to improve and to perform,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
