up to about Episode 6, this would be cricket porn for @JJ, so much Hadlee in this

ol mate JJ would be paddling himself

f**k he was a good bowler though, there is a bit where they interview Smithy and he says at the end of the first over in a test match if you look at the ball it had 6 tinges of green on the seem and nothing on the flat, every ball he bowled hit the middle of the seem

Ive had a quick look at his stats, FC bowling average of 19 and batting average of 36, incredible allround stats.

Only played 7 tests but obviously we know why. A lot of people reckon if they werent banned, that team couldve been anything, Proctor, Richards, G Pollock, Barlow.

Only just saw this. What a golden era for STH Africa tgat might have been, Peter Pollock and Clive Rice too, they would have challenged the great Windies sides

I saw highlights of the 1992 World Cup final and he was in commentary. I didnt know much about him apart from that he was part of the South African team that played against the rebel teams alongside Wessels and Donald.

I dont think he played a test but played ODI's once South Africa got back in but wouldve been about 40 odd. I did quick check of his FC stats, something like 40 with the bat and 20 something with the ball. Incredible.

Yep, he and Hadlee were quite the pair at Nottinghamshire. I fully agree with RSA’s exclusion, but a huge Shane to not see some all time greats play test cricket
