The '''South Africa national cricket team''', also known as the '''Proteas''', | The '''South Africa men's national cricket team''', also known as the '''Proteas''', represent [[South Africa]] in men's [[international cricket]] and is administered by [[Cricket South Africa]] (CSA). South Africa is a full member of the [[International Cricket Council]] (ICC), Its nickname derives from South Africa's [[Floral emblem|national flower]], ''[[Protea cynaroides]]'', commonly known as the "King Protea". | ||
South Africa entered [[First-class cricket|first-class]] and international cricket at the same time when they hosted an [[England cricket team]] in the 1888–89 season. Initially, the team was no match for [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] or [[England cricket team|England]] but, having gained experience and expertise, they were able to field a competitive team by the first decade of the 20th century. The team regularly played against Australia, England and [[New Zealand national cricket team|New Zealand]] through to the 1960s, by which time there was considerable opposition to the country's [[apartheid]] policy. The ICC imposed an international ban on the team, commensurate with actions taken by other global sporting bodies. When the ban was imposed, South Africa had developed to a point where its team was arguably the very best in the world, and had even out-played Australia. | |||
South Africa | The ban remained in place until 1991, after which South Africa played against [[India national cricket team|India]], [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]], [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] for the first time. The team has been strong since its reinstatement, and has at several times held the number-one positions in international rankings. South Africa is also one of the most successful teams in ODI cricket, winning more than 60 per cent of their matches.<ref name="results_summ">{{cite web |url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283878.html |title=Records; One-Day Internationals; ESPN Cricinfo |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=1 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130224020144/http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283878.html |archive-date=24 February 2013 |url-status=live }}</ref> However, the [[1998 ICC KnockOut Trophy|1998 Champions Trophy]] is its sole success in ICC-organised tournaments.

European colonisation of southern Africa began on Tuesday, 6 April 1652 when the [[Dutch East India Company]] established a settlement called the [[Cape Colony]] on [[Table Bay]], near present-day [[Cape Town]], and continued to expand into the hinterland through the 17th and 18th centuries.

It was founded as a victualling station for the Dutch East Indies trade route but soon acquired an importance of its own due to its good farmland and mineral wealth. There was virtually no British interest in South Africa until 1795 when troops under General Sir [[James Henry Craig]] seized Cape Colony during the [[French Revolutionary War]], the Netherlands having been occupied by French forces the same year. After the British seized Cape Colony a second time in 1806 to counteract French interests in the region in the course of the [[Napoleonic Wars]], Cape Colony was turned into a permanent British settlement. As in most other parts of the world, British colonisation brought in its wake the introduction of the game of [[cricket]], which began to develop rapidly. The first-ever recorded cricket match in South Africa took place in 1808, in Cape Town between two service teams for a prize of one thousand rix-dollars.<ref name="auto">[http://bleacherreport.com/articles/79768-history-of-south-african-sport-vi-cricket History of South African sport – Cricket] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170909122025/http://bleacherreport.com/articles/79768-history-of-south-african-sport-vi-cricket |date=9 September 2017 }} BleacherReport. 9 November 2008.

The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843. In 1862, an annual fixture "Mother Country v Colonial Born" was staged for the first time in Cape Town. By the late 1840s, the game had spread from its early roots in Cape Colony and permeated the [[Afrikaners]] in the territories of [[Orange Free State]] and [[South African Republic|Transvaal]], who were descendants of the original Dutch settlers and were not considered naturally a cricket-playing people. In 1876, Port Elizabeth presented the "Champion Bat" for competition between South African towns. The first tournament was staged in [[Port Elizabeth]]. King William's Town Cricket Club won the tournament in 1876 and the following year, in 1877, too.<ref name="auto"/> | The oldest cricket club in South Africa is the Port Elizabeth Cricket Club, founded in 1843.

South Africa has a record of failing to win world cups and is much-maligned because of this. The [[1992 Cricket World Cup]], for example, featured a rain-affected semi-final played before the introduction of the [[Duckworth-Lewis]] rain rule. South Africa needed 22 runs from 13 balls when rain intervened. After the delay, they were left in the situation of requiring 22 runs from one ball to progress. In 1996 they were eliminated in the quarter-finals despite being one of the fancied teams and having qualified first in their group. In 1999 South Africa lost in the semi-final to eventual champions Australia. The match ended in a tie with both South Africa and Australia managing 213 but [[Australia national cricket team|Australia]] advanced to the Final as Australia finished higher than South Africa in the group. | South Africa has a record of failing to win world cups and is much-maligned because of this.
