Jacques Kallis
Known for his consistency with both bat and ball, Kallis has proved to be the danger man for the opposition. His number three batting has been the best follow-up for Gibbs and Kirsten. He is content with playing the anchor role and has often rescued South Africa from dead situations. His swing bowling is a big asset and he is a leading all-rounder in world cricket.

Shaun Pollock
Pollock has stepped out of the shadow of Allan Donald to show his greatness as a pace bowler. His swing bowling has proved unplayable, and he is always amongst the wickets. He is now the lead bowler for the proteas. Although he has focussed more on his bowling, his batting, once a great asset, still rescues South Africa from difficult situations.

Herschelle Gibbs
The shoes of Jonty Rhodes would never be filled, said some. However, Gibbs has proved that he too is among the great fielders of all time, with electrifying stops and run outs from the point position. His opening batting is explosive, and he is a key player for his team.

Lance Klusener
After his exploits in the 99 world cup, few doubt Klusener's abilites, and he has attained legendary status in the one day game. The hardest hitter of the ball the game has seen, his timing helps him to fours and sixes galore, and his pace bowling has seen him take wickets when the proteas needed them the most. He is probably the true one-day specialist. For more about Klusener, please check out my Feature Page.
