Five points of discussion ahead of the third ODI at Kingsmead.
Kingsmead gets warning
The ICC have issued out official warnings to Kingsmead in Durban and Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain.
Kingsmead face severe losses
KZN Cricket Union is set to lose ‘hundreds of thousands’ of rands after the abandoned Durban test.
The Proteas would have won
The conditions favoured the Proteas more in the first Test at Kingsmead, and they would have gone on to win it.
Why Durban?
Unprepared, empty, rainy … why bother with Kingsmead?
First Test called off
The first Test between the Proteas and New Zealand at Kingsmead has been called off after the outfield failed to improve on day five.
Wet outfield washes out another day
Play has been called off without a ball bowled for the second consecutive day in the first Test against New Zealand at Kingsmead.
Wet field wipes out day 3
Heavy overnight rain soaked the Kingsmead field so much that no play was possible on day three of the first Test against New Zealand.
Rain halts Proteas progress
A promising morning by the Proteas was halted by rain on day two of the first Test against New Zealand in Durban.
Amla: Too little, too often
Losing wickets at crucial times has put the Proteas under pressure, says Hashim Amla.
Proteas battle on day one
It was New Zealand’s day on the first day of the first Test match at Kingsmead, as a flurry of late wickets restricted the Proteas to 236-8.
Amla powers Proteas
Hashim Amla looks in good touch as the Proteas went into lunch on 94-2 on day one of the first Test against New Zealand in Durban.
Kingsmead: Proteas’ sandcastle

Erwee, Zondo crush Titans
A second-wicket stand of 210 between Sarel Erwee and Khaya Zondo gave the Dolphins a winning target as they beat the Titans by 34 runs on Saturday night.
Kingsmead: facts and fiction
The first thing to dismiss is the notion that Kingsmead is affected by the tides 0f the Indian Ocean. It is simply a strip generally favoured by the quickies, but which rewards hard graft.
