Things to do this Heritage Day
Celebrate Heritage this weekend, from Cape Malay to DJ Kent
Cape Town cricket fans, unite! The gentleman’s game is in full swing, and Caribbean kings West Indies are going up against our very own Proteas in the third of three five-day South African test match series. After the Mother City was robbed of its new year’s battle last year, fans should be amped to catch all the action at the Newlands Stadium from Friday, 2 to Tuesday, 6 January 2015.
The Proteas are sitting pretty in top position as the world’s number one test cricket team, coming off positive performances in the recent Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe series. That said, they’ll need to match up against the island nation without left-handed spinner JP Duminy and off-spinner Dane Piedt, both of whom are out with injuries.
Recent additions to the squad include bowler Robin Peterson and Highveld Lions duo Kagiso Rabada and Temba Bavuma. Once again our boys will be led by Hashim Amla as captain and AB De Villiers as his right-hand man
On the other side of the field, the West Indies currently stands in eighth place on the ICC ranking and will need to perform without headline batsman Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo. Captain Denesh Ramdin has called on younger players to step up, but it goes without saying that his side will have to channel some of the strength they showed from the 1970s to 1990s to top the formidable South African squad.
So grab the family and friends and head on down to leafy Newlands to come out and support out boys!
