I've just looked it up in Barclay's World of Cricket. It says: "South African teams visited England... in 1891, 1901 and 1908 before they were accorded Test Match status" and "The first official MCC team to South Africa in 1905-6..." I'll amend the article to reflect that. JH (talk page) 09:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually South Africa toured England in 1907, not 1908, and as per Wisden they were considered Test matches at the time. There is no record in CA about SA in England 1891. Tintin09:51, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
