Viljoen off to a flyer

-

New signing Hardus Viljoen remained humble after claiming a five-wicket haul on his Kent debut at Bristol on Tuesday. The 27-year-old South African was drafted in for the final four games of the Specsavers County Championsh­ip season as Kent battle for the sole promotion place to Division 1. Viljoen said: “I was looking for a county cricket gig just to get some experience. Thanks to Kent for the opportunit­y to be able to play here. “It doesn’t matter what team you play for, you give it your all. “I was just lucky (on Tuesday) that I got the rewards – the other guys bowled well, credit to them for applying pressure. I was just lucky to get the wickets.”
