12th man for Rhodesia was JD McPhun, and for Eastern Province AO Rudman.
PR McLoughlin suffered a serious blow on the head when batting against SJ McAdam. He was taken to hospital, and this ended his season, and virtually his career.
JK Clarke kept wicket in pace of the injured de Caila in the Eastern Province second innings. Sources: South African Cricket Annual 1969, The Herald, The Sunday Mail. Contributed by John Ward (jward@samara.co.zw)
