The Blue Book: A History of Western Province Cricket, 1890 – 2010

R250.00

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.

Author Information

Andre Odendaal is Chief Executive of the Western Province Cricket Association and Honorary Professor in History and Heritage Studies at the University of the Western Cape.

He is the author of The Other Side: A miscellany of black cricket in Natal, and co-author of Blacks in Whites: A century of cricket struggles in KwaZulu- Natal. The UK-based Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians chose him as their Statistician of the Year in 2007. Andrew Samson is a statistician with a particular interest in cricket. He has contributed to the Mutual & Federal SA Cricket Annual and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack since 1994. He was official statistician for the ICC World Cup in 2003, ICC World T20 2007, ICC World Cup Qualifier 2009 and ICC Champions Trophy 2009.
