Ellis Park was a rugby ground but was pressed into service when the Old
Wanderers was demolished at the end of the 1945-46 season to make way
for a railway. Over the next decade, Ellis Park staged Transvaal
matches and Tests. The completion of the New Wanderers ground in
1956-57 signalled the end of Ellis Park as a cricket venue. The present
ground was built in 1980 and has no reminders of its time as a cricket
venue.
