Heath Streak

Neil Johnson is Zimbabwean...

Most of his first class cricket was in South Africa only when he felt he wouldn't be able to make it in their national team he chose Zimbambwe.was also part of South African A side against Zimbambwe

Woah, someone has all the facts right.

My serious answer would be Pollock.

 

[Himannv]

I liked Klusener the most but I did feel he was too expensive with the ball at times. I felt Pollock was better with the bat toward the latter part of his career and better with the ball during the early days. But yeah, Klusener due to his exploits in the 99 WC.

Ryan ten Doeschate played most of his first class cricket in England. Does that make him English?

If Johnson had never played international cricket then you'd have a case for calling him South African. But since he played for Zimbabwe he's regarded as a Zimbabwean cricketer.

Funny they used to call him only Zimbabwe player who could make it into a South African side talent-wise.

Andy Flower would have easily walked into SA side as a batsman.

 

[Dendarii]

Paul Strang and Ray Price might have made it ahead of Pat Symcox and Nicky Boje.

Ray price was not an allrounder Or was he?

He wasn't, but might have got the nod due to being a better bowler.

Graeme Smith at one time was the best spin bowler in the entire continent of Africa.

South Africa would have killed for Andy Flower. Easily would have been second best behind Kallis.

 

[Migara]

Graeme Smith at one time was the best spin bowler in the entire continent of Africa.

When was that?

Steven Tikolo was around and was a much better off spinner than Smith. Beside there was Price during the same time if I am not mistaken.

 

[Migara]

Andy Flower would have easily walked into SA side as a batsman.

Even into their ATG XI.

Frankly, other than for Australia (due to presence of Gilchrist), Flower would walk in to any ATG XI, as a keeper batsman.

Eng won't accept him in their ATXI?
WI ??

That was Smith's own words.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Andy Flower is South African by birth, if memory serves. Born in Cape Town?

England and WI will both accept him at keeper's spot. Pretty good keeper to fast bowlers, and erratic ones at that.

Edit: In the case of England line up, Boycott, Hammond, Hobbs, Hutton, Barrington, Pietersen apart, and Joe Root, don't see a better batsman than Flower. Even Boycott averages lesser than him.
