While most people would seek refuge in the shade and find the nearest pool to plunge into, Morne van Wyk would rather be out on the field. He does not have to wait very long, with the Dolphins starting their domestic season with a Momentum One-Day Cup clash against the Knights in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday.His stay with the Knights may be a thing of the past, but the Dolphins captain is still very much a Bloemfontein man - he joked about the Cheetahs getting one over the Sharks in their Currie Cup clash in Bloemfontein on Saturday.The heat wave in Pietermaritzburg is the last thing on Van Wyk's mind.Getting the first win under his belt is what the Dolphins captain is aiming for."My game is in a very good place and I just love being out in the middle. I felt very comfortable in the practice games that we played. We've been ready for the season to start," Van Wyk said."Getting into a good space for Sunday is the most important thing because once we start, we're going to hit the ground running, and play a lot of high-intensity matches in a short period of time."A surprise face in the Dolphins match-day squad is the diminutive southpaw middle order batsman Tshepang Dithole, who is set to make his franchise debut.The 22-year-old does not have much of a record to speak of, but Dolphins coach Lance Klusener feels he has found a fertile seed."He's really impressed me in the pre-season games and also had an excellent Academy Week. He's a good cricketer and,given the opportunity and the exposure in franchise cricket, he'll go a long way," Klusener said.The Pietermaritzburg Oval surface was treacherous for the best part of last season.The Dolphins often suffered because of its unpredictable nature, but Klusener hopes groundsman Phil Russell has tamed the beast to an extent where there will be an equal contest between bat and ball."By all accounts it's going to be pretty decent. Even if it may be a bit drier, it's better when you start when the wicket is a bit wet where the outcome then depends on the toss," Klusener said...
