Script on cricket related postcard 1906

[Michael Dobbs]

Hi all - yet another query from Australia!

For several years now I have exchanged correspondence with an individual in Australia who collects cricket-related philately and now has 20 FDCs of the 16 May 1973 cricket stamps with FPO cancellations for which I have identified the location and given other background information as regards the FPO and or location use.  He has now submitted a cricket related postcard as follows:

[color=maroon]The attached scans relate to a cricket postcard sent from Newcastle in the province of Natal South Africa to German South West Africa (now Namibia) in March 1906.
I have a translation of the written message in German on the picture side which simply conveys greetings from the sender and is in no way related to cricket.
But I can't figure out what the script is on the left side of the address side of the card. It is not Pitman shorthand.[/color]

Can anyone identify the script please (not necessarily translate it!)?

Thanks, Mike  :)
