THE bizhub Highveld Lions will have spinner Eddie Leie at their disposal for Friday’s visit to the Sunfoil Dolphins at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead, but will otherwise plan to change very little after starting the Momentum One-Day Cup with a flourish. The Lions cruised to an eight-wicket victory over the Cape Cobras in their opening fixture, sauntering home with more than six overs to go, with their hugely experienced top order showing their value as Stephen Cook and Alviro Petersen both scored centuries. Yet as clinical as the pair were in a record-breaking 213-run partnership, it was the Lions seamers who caught the eye with their strangling consistency, which Temba Bavuma expects to continue on Friday.The only aspect of the performance that did not please coach, Geoffrey Toyana, was the back end of the innings, when Vernon Philander’s explosive fifty saw the Cobras add 77 runs in the last 45 deliveries.
