Formerly known as the North West Cricket Stadium, the
ground was renamed to Senwes Park as of 2008, due to a naming rights
agreement. It was previously known as Sedgars Park and is situated in
Potchefstroom, South Africa.
It is the home to the North West
Dragons provincial team, and is one of South Africa's newer international
grounds.
It was first used in October 2000
for a match between South Africa and New Zealand. Nicky Boje
ensured the occasion would
be remembered when he blasted an unbeaten 105
off only 93 deliveries, but the match was ultimately rained
out.
In October 2002 the venue became a
Test ground when it hosted the second Test between South Africa
and Bangladesh. Herschelle Gibbs,
Gary Kirsten and Jacques Kallis all scored centuries,
as the Proteas raced to an innings and 160 runs
victory.
During the
2003 World Cup the North West Stadium hosted
three contests, including the match between South Africa and Kenya during
which Jonty Rhodes broke
his hand, bringing an untimely end to his
international career; he had planned to retire after the World
Cup.
On the days when international matches are not played
(which is pretty often), the local club Harveld Lions is heard roaring in the
cool shades of Senwes Park. The stadium is well equipped with floodlights and
considering the plans that are in the offing to upgrade it one shall certainly
see more of international matches in this picturesque ground.
