South Africa Army cricket team

The South Africa Army cricket team represented the British Army in South Africa, the Union of South Africa having not yet been formed at the time.

The team appeared only once at first-class level. In January 1906, they played MCC at Thara Tswane, Pretoria, the only first-class match ever played there. It was a one-sided affair, with MCC winning by an innings and 218 runs. The margin might have been wider still without the efforts of Philip Mitford, playing his only first-class game: in the Army's first innings, his 65 not out was the only score in double figures.
