Hansie Cronje’s reputation is of course swathed in the veil of controversy and early death at the age of just 32. However, as Wisden commented:
His captaincy record brooks few arguments. South Africa won 27 and lost only 11 of his 53 Tests in charge, with series victories over every opponent except Australia; in 138 one-day internationals there were 99 wins, as well as a tie.
At the time of writing Shaun Pollock remained the leading wicket taker for South Africa. He has upheld the reputation of arguably the most talented cricketing family that includes his uncle Graeme and father Peter who are pictured elsewhere in the exhibition.
Jacques Kallis’ record as an all-rounder is truly extraordinary. He holds the record for the most Test appearances and most runs for a South African in a career stretching over 18 years. He averages over 55 and has taken just under 300 wickets in Tests.
