Nicky
Boje
He is one of the few really good spinners that South Africa has
produced. He came of age during the 2000 series in India and has not
looked back since. As is customary for SA cricket, the bloke's a decent
batsman too.
Mark
Boucher
He is the wicketkeeper and the team's vice captain. Another one in the
long list of South African all-rounders, Boucher is a very capable
batsman and has helped his team to win tight matches on numerous
occasions. He is a pretty decent wicketkeeper too - has records like not
allowing a single bye in the series, fastest to 100 dismissals, highest
score by a night watchman etc. He captained the side for the Test series
vs Australia (Feb-March 2002) and should I say, he is one reluctant, yet
worthy skipper! But don't worry Bouchie, now that Shaun is fit, you can
get back to enjoying your own game and not worry about everything!
Andrew Hall
When I think of Andrew Hall, the first thought that comes to my mind is
- "here is a man who survived bullet shots to play cricket the very
next year!" Though he hasn't got too many opportunities to play for
SA (due to the already colossal number of genuine all-rounders present
in the SA team), Hall has never let the team down.
Jacques
Kallis
Not only is he a technically sound batsman, he is a neat fast bowler
too. He can
score patiently and also hit sixes when required. Jacques is so strong
in the shoulders and that helps him to get pace in his deliveries. He is
basically a swing bowler and also one of the better slip catchers
in the world. Girls find him sexy - your thoughts on that? LOL!
Justin Kemp
'Kempie' enjoys cricket, golf and also finds time to complete his studies!!
Wow!! He certainly IS an all-rounder!
Lance
Klusener
*Zulu's* heroics are known to all. He is capable of turning around
even the most dull matches into excitement filled contests. He can
clobber any attack with that massive bat of his and win the match when
no one would expect. He had a phenomenal World Cup-1999 and was declared
'The Man of the series'. He started his career as a genuine fast bowler
but several ankle injuries have forced him to cut down his speed. Still
he remains one of the best all rounders in the world.
Justin
Ontong
Another one in the long line of youngsters knocking at the doors of
international cricket, Justin Ontong has the talent and the temperament
for the big games.
Shaun
Pollock
Polly is the team's skipper and the leading frontline bowler along
with Allan Donald. He comes from a family of cricketing greats. His
father too was a fast bowler and uncle Graeme one of the best left
handed batsmen in cricket. Shaun seems to have inherited both the
batting and bowling skills and is without doubt, the top all rounder in
the world. And if you haven't guessed it by now, he is the reason why I
made the site in the first place!!! |
