Must be a hellova nice bus that takes you to and from the ground…

Ticket price R250-R500
Pullman Hotel R5000 (for 2 nights, single)
SA Cricket Travel Price R15720.
So what should cost R5500 they are selling for R15720.
And locals don't want the hotel.
PLUS this isn't all profit for CSA because SA Cricket Travel is a JV with Tourvest.

So I contacted these losers at the new @ProteasMenCSA travel agency.
If you want to attend a single day of the Newlands test, its going to cost you R15 720.
If you want to attend all five days, be prepared to spend R44 640.
They will NOT allow you to buy tickets alone.

🔴✍️This past December CSA launched SA Cricket Travel, a travel company in partnership with Tourvest Destination Management. Now it makes sense why local fans couldn’t purchase tickets for the News Year’s Test at Newlands.

Our move to the Cape has been years in the planning. After many detours and obstacles it has finally become a reality. The actual move down was incredibly stressful with many things going wrong. But for these views from every window, the beauty, the peace and security, it has been absolutely worth it. 💚 #Semigration

I guess there is no coming back after what Swanepoel did. Going to be hard for him to rebuild trust whatever path he chooses to follow in the future...

In 2005, James Anderson (@lancscricket) dismissed David Sales of Northants.
In 2026, James Anderson dismissed James Sales of Northants, David Sales's son, who was only 2 years old when Jimmy dismissed his dad.

Jansen has a brutal schedule. SA20, WT20, IPL, MLC & The 100 back to back. Hope he doesn’t break down before what's set to be a bumper home season with 🇦🇺 & 🏴 touring.
