SA's second best batsman since 1992 ATM.
The problem with assessing SA's batsmen over their history is that over a generation was lost due to apartheid and names like Nourse and Mitchell from the ancient past are naturally difficult to properly assess and compare. We can only speculate how well the likes of Richards, Graeme Pollock and even Eddie Barlow would have done with longer careers, or even if Clive Rice had a chance to play more than a few testimonial ODI's.
