Top South African cricketing journalist, Neil Manthorp, presents twenty of the Proteas’ landmark cricket matches to mark the 20th anniversary of South Africa’s return to international competition – on 10 November 1991 at Eden Gardens, Calcutta. With commentary from many of the players and administrators involved, including Allan Donald, Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Gary Kirsten, Jonty Rhodes, Lance Klusener, Mickey Arthur and others, this unique and exciting book is a celebration, analysis and ultimately history of the Proteas since that pioneering series. Includes profiles of 15 of the greatest modern South African players, plus five of their trickiest adversaries.
Neil Manthorp is an experienced sports journalist, well respected within the SA cricketing fraternity and known around the world for his radio and television commentary and various columns. He is the author of several best-selling books, including Graeme Smith: A Captain’s Diary (2009) and Taking The Mickey (2010). He has an intimate knowledge of SA cricket and close relationships with many of the players who feature in the book.
"I can’t even describe how lucky I feel to have been there for 15 of the 20 years since South African cricket was readmitted. There have been so many highs – and a few lows – and it’s right that both are recorded here. There’s no such thing as a perfect world. And there’s nobody better qualified than Manners to write this book – he was there before I started, he’s been with me the whole way, and I assume he’ll still be there when I’ve finished" – Jacques Kallis
