Cape Crusaders on DVD is the official DVD story of England's 2004/05 tour to South Africa.
It had been forty long years since the England cricket team had won a test series in South Africa. But following excellent victories over New Zealand and the West Indies in the summer of 2004, the tourists flew to South Africa buoyed by their unbeaten run and with a real determination to succeed.
This great souvenir DVD contains three and a quarter hours of exhilarating test match cricket. The English Cricket team started the winter series as they'd finished the summer, with some powerful imposing cricket and took the first match by seven wickets, largely thanks to over 200 runs from Andrew Strauss.
After a remarkable draw in Durban, where Strauss, Trescothick and Thorpe all scored centuries in the second innings, the South African's levelled the series with a win in Cape Town with Jacques Kallis at his supreme best and ably supported by the typically accurate bowling of Shaun Pollock.
Matthew Hoggard inspired England to re-gain the lead in the fourth Cricket test with an extraordinary 12-wicket haul and the tourists held out for a draw in the final match, thus securing a memorable 2-1 Test victory. Every single highlight is on this celebratory DVD, which also includes bonus footage of the one-day cricket series.
Cape Crusaders on DVD is a wonderful look back at that fantastic Test series between England and South Africa from 2004/2005. Full of drama and brilliant cricket, this DVD is a superb reminder of England's series win in South Africa.
