He was a bit before my time really but have seen plenty of reels of him and was an outstanding player with bat and ball. Would've been an all-time test great all rounder and talked about in the terms of Kapil, Botham, Imran etc had it not been for SA's ban. Had a great career with Gloucs too.

Again a little before my time but quite a player and anybody who plays in 7 Tests and is on the winning side against Oz in 6 of them is alright by me.

	No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

Would often watch him on the john player league games. Very fast, wrong foot bowler, and could bat. Would have been up there with kallis and botham.

My dad was a Bristolian and absolutely loved him. He had a very, very long run-up, great with bat too. His Test stats are ridiculous...
Cricket history & records would have been very different if SAf hadn't had that lengthy ban...

Would it ever. Barry Richards, Graeme Pollock, Garth le Roux, Clive Rice as well among others. We were really robbed of a brilliant side to grow up watching.

England would've missed out on a few players though. Alan Lamb definitely moved over here in order to be eligible to play test cricket for England as a result of the ban. Robin Smith I think had English parents so didn't have to go through the residency stage.
