History of cricket in South Africa from 1918–19 to 1945 This article describes the history of South African cricket from the aftermath of the First World War in 1919 to the end of the Second World War in 1945.Domestic first-class matches focused on the Currie Cup competition which, although it was the national championship , was not always contested because of travel constraints and other reasons. The Currie Cup was not held in seasons when there was a Test tour of South Africa , though it was held in 1931–32 when the South African Test side travelled to Australia and New Zealand .Currie Cup winners from 1919–20 to 1944–45 1919–20 not contested 1920–21 Western Province 1921–22 undecided 1922–23 not contested 1923–24 Transvaal 1924–25 not contested 1925–26 Transvaal 1926–27 Transvaal 1927–28 not contested 1928–29 not contested 1929–30 Transvaal 1930–31 not contested 1931–32 Western Province 1932–33 not contested 1933–34 Natal 1934–35 Transvaal 1935–36 not contested 1936–37 Natal 1937–38 Natal and Transvaal 1938–39 not contested 1939–40 not contested 1940–41 not contested 1941–42 not contested 1942–43 not contested 1943–44 not contested 1944–45 not contested From the outset of the war , South Africa was actively involved as a member of the Allies. The war brought austerity and cricket was considered by many to be frivolous in such circumstances. Only one first-class game was played in South Africa during the wartime seasons. This took place during the 1942 New Year period at Newlands in Cape Town between Western Province and Transvaal. It ended in a draw. Western Province batted first and scored 237 in 79.1 overs. In reply, James Pickerill's 71 was the top score and Reginald Lofthouse's 4–63 was the best return as Transvaal made 251 for 8 declared. Sidney Kiel top-scored in the match with 128 not out as Western Province declared on 236 for 8. This didn't quite leave enough time for a result and Transvaal had made 166–6 when stumps were drawn.International tours of South Africa from 1919–20 to 1944–45 – AIF won by 2 wickets – match drawn – AIF won by 310 runs – AIF won by an innings and 42 runs – AIF won by an innings and 14 runs – AIF won by 8 wickets – AIF won by an innings and 129 runs – match drawn The AIF team had players of the calibre of Jack Gregory , Herbie Collins , Bert Oldfield and Nip Pellew .Australia 1921–22 A team captained by Lionel Tennyson and including 12 past or future England Test players toured South Africa between November 1924 and February 1925 .England 1927–28 at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – England won by 10 wickets at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town – England won by 87 runs at Kingsmead, Durban – match drawn at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – South Africa won by 4 wickets at Kingsmead, Durban – South Africa won by 8 wicketsEngland 1930–31 at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – South Africa won by 28 runs at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town – match drawn at Kingsmead, Durban – match drawn at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – match drawn at Kingsmead, Durban – match drawnAustralia 1935–36 at Kingsmead, Durban – Australia won by 9 wickets at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – match drawn at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town – Australia won by an innings and 78 runs at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – Australia won by an innings and 184 runs at Kingsmead, Durban – Australia won by an innings and 6 runsEngland 1938–39 at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – match drawn at Newlands Cricket Ground, Cape Town – match drawn at Kingsmead, Durban – England won by an innings and 13 runs at Old Wanderers, Johannesburg – match drawn at Kingsmead, Durban – match drawn
