    Sydney Classics Cricket Team – South African Tour 2016 Report on Match 4 – Cape Town – Western Province Chairman’s XI 2 March 2016 Western Province Chairman XI 8 for 178 Beat Sydney Classics 8/174 The Sydney Classics team started their 4th South African match with an exciting and competitive game against the Western Province Chairman’s XI at the Vineyard Oval Cape Town. The cricket oval was almost picture perfect with the ground partially surrounded on the eastern side by low rise corporate offices and high wire fence shielded by trees with a lush outfield. There was a quaint club house on the western side of the ground surrounded by old oak trees providing shade from the hot afternoon sun. An inspection of the wicket indicated it was in excellent condition – perhaps our best on tour so far. The previous weekend South African Test Cricket fast bowler Dale Steyn played on the same wicket for Western Province and took 5 wickets. Sydney Classics Innings Skipper Douglas “Dougie” Latto “won” the toss and elected to bat. Dougie and George “Watson” Hodgson opened the batting and faced some seaming balls that the batsmen had trouble playing. The score had reached 20 when Dougie played and missed a ball that seamed from way outside the off stump to take the top of his leg stump. Peter Harrison joined George. However, due to a mix up in calling for a run Peter was run out for 3. The score was 2 for 27. Ron Nes joined George and batted very well with both George and Ron hitting some fine boundaries.

  • The Race Chase: the Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa
    The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Ashwin Desai Department of Sociology, University of Johannesburg [email protected] Biographical Details Ashwin Desai is Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. His latest book is entitled ‘Reverse Sweep: A Story of South African Cricket since Apartheid’. The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Abstract South African cricket (re)entered international cricket in 1991, a few years before the country’s first democratic elections. A tour of India was a prelude to playing in the 1992 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. From the outset of “unity”, cricket was lauded for its transformation programme and for making a decisive break with the past. This break was epitomised by the team being called the Proteas rather than the Springboks. Despite this and on-going efforts to transform the team into a more representative one, issues of racism and racial representation have continued to haunt the game. Questions are persistently raised about racial targets and interference in selection from on high. At local level, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has now made it mandatory that franchises and semi-professional teams be obliged to include six players of colour, of whom three must be Black Africans, raising concerns about deliberate racial engineering. These apprehensions have been exacerbated by increasing calls for national teams to reflect the racial demographics of the country. This article looks at issues of race and representivity in South African cricket post- unity, seeking to probe allegations of racism, as well as how CSA has approached issues of racial representation in the form of quotas and the possible effects of this on the game.

Bangladesh and Nepal have also banned flights and sought to close their borders with India, where a huge rise in numbers in the past three weeks has taken deaths past 230,000 and cases over 21 million. All three countries are fighting their own pandemic surg- es, which Red Cross leaders have described as a "human catastro- phe". The Sri Lankan government banned flight passengers from India entering, as the country reported its highest daily toll of 14 deaths and 1,939 infections in 24 hours. Sri Lanka's navy said it had stepped up patrols to keep away Indian trawlers, adding that on Tuesday (4) it stopped 11 such vessels which had crossed the nar- row strip of sea dividing the two neighbours. Bangladesh halted all international flights on April 14 because of its own surge and shut its border with India on April 26. It has reported 11,755 COVID-19 deaths and 767,338 cases, but experts say the real figures are higher in all South Asian countries.
