The Blue Book : A History of Western Province Cricket, 1890-2011

Odendaal, Andre ; Reddy, Krish

Published by Fanele, 2012

ISBN 10: 1920196404 / ISBN 13: 9781920196400

This book provides the first comprehensive and complete history of Western Province cricket and the Cape Cobras in the 121 years from 1890 to 2011. It goes beyond any similar sports history in South Africa to date, to reveal the rich history of cricket in a region with the longest tradition of playing in the country and the continent. Based on decades of painstaking research, it overturns old, exclusive 'official' accounts of the past and introduces us to a wealth of new material about players, clubs and matches that were previously 'off field'. With its 20 000 cricketers, part-owned Cape Cobras franchise and the famous 123-year-old Sahara Park Newlands Stadium, the Western Province Cricket Association has inherited the oldest tradition of cricket in South Africa.
