Cricket – ODI- SA vs Australia -Port Elizabeth 23/10/2011
When: 23 October 2011
Where: Axxess DSL St George`s, Port Elizabeth
Time: 10h00
We look forward to an action packed day of cricket – we trust that the weather will hold and look forward to seeing our fabulous cricket ground filled to overflowing with supporters.
The only dampener at this stage is that AB de Villiers, captain of the Proteas’ Castle Lager ODI and T20 squads, fractured his left hand while practising with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in India on Wednesday morning.
The Proteas Team Manager has stated that his injury will be assessed as soon as he returns home. Only then will they have an indication of the treatment and rehabilitation required and the length of time that he will be out of action.
As a result of this it is not certain whether or not he will be available for the series against Australia. For now all we can do is wish him a speedy recovery as we would like to see in in action on the 23rd at St. Georges.

Cricket -Trying to tame the stars of India
The touring Indian cricket team takes on the South African Proteas in the fourth MTN ODI at AXXESS DSL St George’s Park Cricket ground in Port Elizabeth on 21 January 2011.
Coached efficiently by former Proteas test and one-day international star Gary Kirsten, the touring party has an array of talent to draw from, and, barring unforseen injury or poor form, names like MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh and Dinesh Karthik are likely to cause a nervous flutter among South African spectators and players alike.
Long-serving and successful South African captain Graeme Smith will have much to contend with if called to do duty on the day, but secure in the knowledge that his squad is no less talented and capable of matching their opponents man for man.
Day/night cricket matches are usually fun-filled entertaining affairs, and this one promises to be no less at the original home of South African cricket

The 2010 SPAR Redhouse River Mile, Africa’s oldest open water swimming event, which is taking place over the weekend of 27/28 February is being moved to Cannonville on the Sundays River due to dangerously high levels of pollution in the Swartkops River.
Started in 1924, the event is celebrating its 86th anniversary and organisers, Zports, have indicated that the change in venue will not affect their ability to host another world class event, with the 2010 event carrying the highest prize money ever for the River Mile.
Over R26,000 in cash will be up for grabs over the weekend as well as medals, free hydration drinks and lucky draw prizes which include 4 Vuka Scuta motor bikes.
South African Olympian Chad Ho has confirmed that he will be coming to defend the title he won last year but is expecting strong local competition from Axxess DSL Ocean Racing Series leaders Frank Greeff and Chris van de Sande. Ladies defending champion, Dominique Dryding, from the Western Cape has also confirmed that she will be at the River Mile at the end of Febuary.
The program of events scheduled for Sunday’s River will kick offon Saturday morning with the Discovery off-roader, an off-road triathlon style event which has been established to raise funds for various projects run by the Rotary Club of Port Elizabeth Sunrise. Visitors to the event will be entertained in the Castle Lite Beer Garden and many vendors will be at the event to supply eats.
Sunday’s program kicks off at 12 noon with the Nando’s kids preliminary 10 and under and 12 and under swim races across the river. This will be followed by a celebrity Swim Challenge where the winner will get R1000 cash to donate to a charity of their choice, the Ladies Mile will be at 13h30 and the finale, the Men’s Mile starts at 14h30.
Entry forms can be obtained from all Eastern Cape SPAR outlets and all leading sports stores.
