Back at Newlands to watch Test cricket: The Proteas vs. England

Jan 12, 2020 0 0

Growing up within walking distance of St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth, I spent my youth watching every match that came to town (as well as all practices). Before our re-admission, it was the mighty Eastern Province, led by Kepler Wessels, that had my complete devotion and I can...

Following the Proteas around the UK in the 2019 Cricket World Cup

Jul 26, 2019 0 0

The Proteas’ trials and tribulations at World Cups are well documented. In 27 years spanning seven World Cups before this one, barring our first in 1992 where the weather gods didn’t fancy the new kids on the international scene, we’ve somehow contrived to lose the plot. I...

A sporting week in Zimbabwe – Cricket World Cup Qualifiers and Vic Falls Rugby 7s

Catherine didn’t come to Africa to watch sport but I’ve managed to get in a few events! She made her football debut at the national stadium in Addis Ababa where we saw Ethiopia play...

Watching cricket in Rwanda

Feb 20, 2018 0 0

Before leaving London a few months ago, I’d read an interesting article about cricket in Rwanda. It was the fastest growing sport in the country, matches were played on most weekends and a new stadium was being...

Following our Proteas in a Test series in England – the Oval and Old Trafford

Aug 10, 2017 0 1

After the disappointment at Lord’s and the wonderful backs-to-the-wall win at Trent Bridge, we were back in London for the 3rd, and penultimate, Test of the series.

Following our Proteas in a Test series in England – Lord’s and Trent Bridge

Jul 19, 2017 0 2

One of my favourite ways to spend a day is watching Test cricket. There simply is no other sport like it; played for five days, with ebbs and flows of momentum across each day’s three sessions, a test of supreme skill and courage and a team sport built very much on individual...

Watching the Proteas (disappoint) at the 2017 Champions Trophy

Jun 17, 2017 0 0

Another major tournament, so much hype and expectation and ultimately bitter disappointment. The tournaments and grounds may change but the result continues to be the same – the Proteas simply fail to win when it matters.

Since we last won our first and only ICC event – the inaugural...

Watching Test Cricket at Old Trafford

Jul 27, 2016 0 0

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again: for me, there are few better ways to spend a day than watching Test cricket. And when it’s done in the sun whilst enjoying a few cold beers with friends, all the better! There simply is no other sport like it; played for...

Four years ago I was following the Proteas, South Africa’s national cricket team, around India and Bangladesh for the 2011 World Cup. I was all but one of our pool games and was...

The Proteas take on the Aussies

Mar 25, 2014 0 0

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again: for me, there is no better way to spend a day than watching Test cricket. And when it’s done in the sun whilst enjoying a few cold castles, the local beer, all the better!
