Triple delight for super Stubbs

Tristan Stubbs scored the first triple century of his first-class career on Thursday.

Tristan Stubbs scored the first triple century of his first-class career on Thursday.

Stubbs and Matthew Breetzke (188) put on 473 runs for the EP Warriors’ third wicket before the KZN Inland Tuskers finally broke the partnership.

Both batsmen would have been frustrated to leave the field at 11am when play was stopped for bad light in Pietermaritzburg.

Breetzke lasted just two balls after the players returned to the field a couple of hours later, but Stubbs went on to reach 300 and was 302* off 372 balls when bad light struck again.

His previous highest score in first-class cricket was 132.
