Background information on cricket played in Cape Town
Newlands, home of Western Province Cricket in Cape Town, has been described by many, together with the Adelaide Oval in Australia, as one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the World. Nestled behind and at the foot of Table Mountain it is one of the most picturesque places in the world to watch cricket.
Over the past five years numerous changes have been made to the ground in Cape Town. This has slightly taken away from its former splendor. Large portions of the grass embankments have been replaced by pavilions increasing the seating capacity to 25,000.
Newlands is one of the few grounds in South Africa that assists spin bowlers borne out by the fact that many of South African spinners have come from the Cape Town. The cricket pitch is also very conducive to results with a small percentage of cricket Tests played in Cape Town ending up as drawn.
Newlands is also favoured with a Mediterranean winter rainfall climate allowing for perfect weather to watch and play cricket in.
