Cricket will venture into new territory when South Africa tackle
Zimbabwe in the first official four-day test match to be played at St
George's Park in Port Elizabeth starting on Tuesday.
It is an experiment, which will also be played with a pink ball as a day/night encounter, that has been met with more enthusiasm in Zimbabwe than their hosts, who will have a number of their experienced campaigners back in action.
The match is the start of a busy summer for South Africa, who also play three home five-day tests against India and four versus Australia, to go with a number of matches in the shorter formats.
