EAST Lancashire professional Ockert Erasmus recorded his career best bowling figures as he continued to enhance his growing reputation in South Africa.

Erasmus, who enjoyed a fine first season at Alexandra Meadows last summer and will return to the Lancashire League club this term, is looking to establish himself in the Boland First Class team after impressing in T20 and one-day matches.

He has managed to force his way into the team and spun his way to 4-85 and 3-40 against North West in the CSA Challenge series.
