We attended the test match between South Africa and Australia.
The location of the stadium is superb - it is easy to get to and pretty easy to find a parking place. Some of the views from within the ground are amazing - if you want to sit watching the cricket and looking at Table Mountain you really need to be on the south side of the ground.
We sat in the Railway stand with the mountai behind us - from our seats you get a great view Square of the wicket which makes you appreciate the speed of the fast bowlers! The stand is uncovered so you spend all the day in the sun - come prepared with sun cream and a hat.
The atmosphere is amazing - there is always a good crowd and plenty of banter throughout the day.
Choice of food vendors is great and the food is not expensive.

It's not quite what you expect at a cricket game, but nevertheless fun to have an audience which gets actively engaged in the game. More like football than cricket, but it's a blast. Easy access by road or rail, plenty of exits to minimize crowding, and typical stadium food. Then of course there is Table Mountain as a backdrop if the game gets dull!

Newlands Cricket is a special ground. Not only is it a fantastic spot to watch a game but the views of the mountain are stupendous.

T20 match South Africa vs India. The best stadium for cricket I have ever visited. Table Mountain in the distance is a treat and quite a distraction from the game it self. Typically for a stadium like this there are places to buy food, beer and merchandise.

we'd managed to secure tickets for the ODI S.A. v India match and cheekily went to the members enclosure and asked for an upgrade. for R200 each we got entry that entitled us to a really good shaded seat and access to the food and drinks - all reasonably priced. The atmosphere was great and although the match wasn't great as S.A. were annihilated everyone we met -bitb staff and public alike - were really friendly .
