India's first Twenty20
Dec 1, 2006
History will be made at the Wanderers on Friday evening when India takes part in its first Twenty20 international contest.
The South Africans, despite the absence of stars, are not likely to make the occasion a memorable one for the visitors, though. The host will be without key players Jacques Kallis, Shaun Pollock, Mark Boucher, Mkhaya Ntini, Andre Nel and Andrew Hall. But they will not be without confidence.
The selectors here are keen on cricketers like Tyron Henderson, Albie Morkel, Roger Telemachus, Robin Peterson and Johan van der Wath showcasing their talent. South Africa will be hosting the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in September 2007 Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban have been selected as venues and much importance is being attached to cricket of this variety in these parts.

The Venue
New Wanderers Stadium
Wanderers Stadium is a stadium situated just south of Sandton in Illovo, Johannesburg in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Test, One Day and First class cricket matches are played here. It is also the home ground for the Highveld Lions, formerly known as Gauteng (Transvaal).The stadium has a seating capacity of 30,000, and was built in 1956 to replace the Old Wanderers Stadium. It was completely overhauled following South Africa's readmission to international cricket in 1991. In 1996, five new 65 metre high floodlight masts replaced the existing four 30 metre high masts enabling day-night limited-overs cricket. The Cricket World Cup 2003 final was held at the Wanderers Stadium. On 1 October 2004, the Wanderers Clubhouse was virtually destroyed by fire.
