The South African past is rich with stories of courage, initiative and endeavour which have never become history because they are the stories of those excluded from power. This title seeks to transform some of these stories into history: in this case into the history of cricket in Natal, hitherto dominated by the official and privileged. In so doing the title also makes an important intervention in the ever-present crisis of South African cricket, not only as the spirit of the game is undermined by the ethos of global marketing, but as cricket continues to stumble under the burden of its racist past. This burden will only be lifted by those able to see this past for what it.
