Wicketkeeper, opener, finisher…name it and Quinton de Kock will be there. Best suited as an
opener, he is as fearless as they come and is undoubtedly in the category of the great Adam

The Imperial Wanderers Stadium is
South Africa’s home of cricket. With
a capacity of 34,000, the ‘Bullring’ is
the biggest in the country and has
a history of having one of the most
hostile venues for visiting teams.
It has the been the scene of the
biggest matches ever hosted by the
country, like the 2003 ICC World Cup
and the 2007 ICC World Twenty20
finals. But a match played at the
venue, even more famous than
those two, was one of the greatest
One-Day Internationals of all time –
the 434 match between the Proteas
and Australia from 2006. Also the
venue for the annual Pink ODI.
IMPERIAL WANDERERS STADIUM I Jhb Capacity
34 000Arguably the most picturesque
cricket ground in the world, PPC
Newlands is situated in one of the
prettiest cities on the globe, Cape
Town. With the backdrop of Table
Mountain and Devils Peak, it is also
one of the venues that is most well
supported by South Africans. It has
hosted a number of major games
over the years, amongst them
the 2003 ICC World Cup and 2007
World Twenty20. In Test cricket, it
stages the annual New Year’s Test, a
highlight of the cricket calendar.
PPC NEWLANDS I Cape Town Capacity
25 000Another one of South Africa’s most
popular grounds, Kingsmead is
situated on the banks of the Indian
Ocean. It hosted one of the most
famous Test of all, what proved to
be the final timeless Test between
South Africa and England in 1939
that lasted 10 days and had to be
called off over fears the tourists may
miss their ship home. More recently
it hosted matches in both the 2003
ICC World Cup and 2007 ICC World
Twenty20.
KINGSMEAD STADIUM I Durban Capacity
25 000Possibly the noisiest ground due to
its now world-famous brass band,
which plays tunes both old and new
at almost every match and creates
a unique atmosphere at the Eastern
Cape venue. St George’s Park is
one of the country’s oldest venues.
It hosted the first ever Test to be
played by South Africa way back in
1889 against England. It also was
a popular venue for the 2003 ICC
World Cup.
ST. GEORGE’S PARK I Port Elizabeth Capacity
19 000The smallest of the six venues,
Eurolux Boland Park is situated in
the heart of the Cape Winelands in
the quiet town of Paarl. But when
cricket comes around, the place is
abuzz. Locals love their sport and
they have proved that over the years
with their support for whoever is
sent to play there. Another ground
surrounded by grass banks, it also
has a traditional feel to it. Also
hosted games during the 2003 ICC
World Cup.
EUROLUX BOLAND PARK I Paarl Capacity
10 000One of few remaining top
international stadia that have grass
embankments almost entirely
around the ground. It has helped
SuperSport Park maintain the
traditional feel of watching cricket
and gives fans an even more relaxed
atmosphere to enjoy the game, with
braais a popular practice. Another
one of the premier stadiums in
South Africa, which has hosted,
amongst other things, the 2009 ICC
Champions Trophy final. In recent
years, it has staged a domestic final
almost every season.
