VENUE PROFILE

Port Elizabeth

 Port Elizabeth

 

Having staged South Africa's first ever Test match in March 1899, Port Elizabeth is a ground with an abundant cricketing history.

It is the home of Eastern Province and has a more intimate feel than the bigger venues like Cape Town and Johannesburg.

The ground was refurbished in 1993, with a new stand at the Duckpond End making it one of the more picturesque arenas in South Africa.

Port Elizabeth is known as the "Windy City" and the winds are notorious for making bowling difficult when they get up.
