South African debutant Lhuan-dre Pretorius became the youngest man to score 150 in a Test match and the first teenager to do so in 32 years as he starred against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.
Pretorius hit 153 from 160 balls at the age of 19 years and 93 days, eclipsing Pakistan great Javed Miandad, who was 19 years and 119 days when he made 163 against New Zealand in Lahore 1976.
Before Pretorius’ knock against Zimbabwe – which contained 11 fours and four sixes – the previous teenager to pass 150 in a Test match was Sachin Tendulkar, doing so against England in Chennai in 1993 aged 19 years and 293 days.
Seven teenagers have achieved the feat in total in men’s Test cricket, with Miandad the only player to do so twice, after also scoring 206 against New Zealand in Karachi.
Pretorius is the seventh South African man to register a hundred on Test debut, following in the footsteps of Andrew Hudson, Jacques Rudolph, Alviro Petersen, Faf du Plessis, Stiaan van Zyl and Stephen Cook.
South Africa have rested a host of senior players for the two-Test tour of Zimbabwe – the second game is also in Bulawayo from July 6 – with seven of the XI that beat Australia in the World Test Championship final at Lord’s earlier this month not involved.
Spin bowler Keshav Maharaj is standing in as captain for the injured Temba Bavuma.
In addition to Pretorius – who has recently been playing Vitality Blast cricket for Hampshire – South Africa have also handed Test debuts to Dewald Brevis and Codi Yusuf.
Brevis scored 51 in Bulawayo after South Africa elected to bat while seam-bowling all-rounder Yusuf contributed 27 as the tourists reached 418-9 in their first innings with Corbin Bosch – playing in just his second Test – 100 not out.

Maresca fumes after two-hour CWC weather delay – ‘It’s a joke! It’s NOT football!’
Enzo Maresca fumed after Chelsea's Club World Cup game against Benfica took nearly five hours to complete due to a weather delay, describing the situation as "a joke" and "not football". The Premier League side eventually ran out 4-1 winners after extra-time in the last-16 tie in Charlotte, which was suspended for almost two hours due to a thunderstorm. Chelsea had been just four minutes away from victory following Reece James' stunning free-kick when the players were taken off the field and fans were told to vacate the seating bowl at the Bank of America Stadium.The players were pictured riding exercise bikes and kicking balls in the dressing room during the enforced break, but, when play eventually resumed, Benfica benefited from the break and forced extra-time with a controversial Angel Di Maria penalty. The timeline... 9pm: Kick-off 10.30pm: Chelsea go […]
Jake Paul downs Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr. in unaminous decision
Jun 28, 2025; Anaheim, California, USA; Jake Paul leaves the ring following his victory against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at Honda Center. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Jake Paul nearly made good on his Thursday press conference promise, defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision. He took the cards 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92 in cruiserweight action Saturday night in Anaheim, Calif. Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) failed to find the knockout over Chavez (54-7-1, 34 KOs), but his volume, speed and activity were enough to outlast the charismatic star. Although Paul wasn't his regular self, he told Ariel Helwani in the ring post-fight it's something to build off. "He's a tough, tough guy," Paul said. "Never been stopped. He's a Mexican warrior. I respect Mexican warriors. I respect Mexico, but I'm also a warrior and I came out on […]
Asi se tu nemělo hrát, řekl kouč Chelsea po dalším přerušení na MS klubů v USA
Zápas byl přerušen po 85 minutách za stavu 1:0 pro Chelsea. Po dlouhé pauze vyrovnal v páté minutě nastavení Ángel Di María z penalty a utkání dospělo do prodloužení, po kterém londýnský tým slavil vítězství 4:1.„Tohle pro mě není fotbal. Považuju to za vtip,“ řekl Maresca na tiskové konferenci. „Chápu, že z bezpečnostních důvodů musíte zápas přerušit. Ale pokud přerušíte sedm nebo osm zápasů, znamená to, že tohle asi není to pravé místo pro pořádání téhle soutěže,“ uvedl po utkání v Charlotte.„Je to fantastická soutěž. Je to mistrovství světa klubů, jsou tu všechny nejlepší kluby. Ale šest nebo sedm přerušených zápasů? To není normální. Kolik zápasů přerušili na mistrovství světa? Asi žádný. Kolik zápasů na mistrovství Evropy? Žádný. Takže tady bude nějaký problém,“ řekl na adresu klubového šampionátu, který organizuje mezinárodní federace FIFA.„Byl to 85 minut výborný zápas, pak jsme dvě hodiny nehráli, a když jsme zase začali, byl […]
