IN his first season after leaving the Wanderers, 23-year-old Neil McKenzie scored a career best 166 not out (321 balls, 19×4, 3×6) as the Northerns Titans had McKenzie’s old team on the rack after the first day of their four day Supersport Series match at Centurion Park on Thursday. Together with Gerald Dros (94), McKenzie put on 223 for the fourth wicket after the hosts had lost their opening two wickets for just 16 runs. McKenzie’s innings outstripped the 150 not out, he scored against for Gauteng against Eastern Province in the 1995-96 season, while Dros’ 94 (176 balls, 14×4, 2×6) was just two runs short of his personal best. Northern Titans ended 312 for 4 wickets.
