South Africa domestic cricket Standard Bank Pro20
Winners | Season-by-season index South Africa became the second country to experiment with Twenty20 cricket, and the remarkable popularity witnessed in England was mirrored in an inaugural season which saw huge crowd flock to games. Veteran journalist Peter Robinson noted that it served to remind a public who had deserted the domestic game that "cricket might still have something to offer on a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon." If proof were needed, the match between the Lions and Dolphins at the Wanderers attracted a bigger crowd than had watched a good Standard Bank Cup final shortly before.
