An outstanding display by Josh Davey, the Middlesex all-rounder, proved in vain last night as the Saltires failed to break their tour duck in South Africa.
He scored 95 and took four wickets against a Combined North-West XI in Potchefstroom but the Scots were left ruing a lack of ruthlessness as the hosts edged home by two wickets.
Defending a total of 239, the tourists stayed in the hunt by picking up regular wickets. Davey took four for 49 while Majid Haq weighed in with three for 50.
