Kingsmead, Durban, December 2015. It's lunchtime on the first day of the Test match between the Proteas and England. AB de Villiers is being interviewed on SuperSport and he holds aloft a book. The camera focuses in: it's At the Crease! This handsome hardback edition commemorates the extraordinary journey travelled by the Proteas since readmission to world cricket in 1991. From the first tour of India, At the Crease is filled with a selection of the finest photographs from Gallo Images that capture the triumphs and tragedies on the cricket field. Which cricket lover will ever forget Mark Boucher punching the sky after scoring the winning runs in the "438" game against Australia? What about when Makhaya Ntini took five wickets at Lords and knelt down to kiss the hallowed turf? At the Crease has it all, and will include detailed captions, a brief history, and an introduction from a leading cricket player. The timing of release - just before the start of the lengthy England tour - is aimed to maximise sales in the run-up to Christmas. Not only that, both Cricket South Africa and SuperSport are partners in the publication thus ensuring huge exposure.
