It was established in the 1880s and was the venue for 22 Test matches between 1896 and 1939 and was used for first-class cricket until 1945 after which it was built over, the site being used to build Johannesburg railway station.
Test cricket in Johannesburg initially moved to Ellis Park before New Wanderers was opened.
[1][2][3] In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings.
South Africa's George Rowe took the first, taking five wickets for the cost of 115 runs (5/115) from 49 five-ball overs during the first innings of the match.
England's George Lohmann and Christopher Heseltine both took five-wicket hauls later in the match, Lohmann becoming the first player to take nine wickets in a Test match innings with his 9/28, figures which were not bettered until Jim Laker took all 10 wickets in an innings against Australia at Old Trafford in 1956.
