Also this is the cricket off season, so it will have a good 4 months to heal. Will be an awesome party, especially as Durban has such amazing weather at that time of the year, and the beaches are 1km away If you look at the plans the pitch is fenced off and protected, thereby keeping people of it.

That said, I'm not sure that those playing cricket on the ground in the months afterwards will be that enamoured of Livingstone - one would have to think that the pitch and outfield will suffer grievously.
