No team has produced world-class all-rounders ass consistently as South Africa: there have been enough of them for Ali Bacher and David Williams to compile Jacques Kallis and 12 Other Great South African All-Rounders. That volume also includes Basil D’Oliveira, who never played for South Africa but whose talent and resultant career decisions were among the most significant in the history of cricket.

Why do South Africa produce sos many all-rounders of such quality? “If you’re in the nets to practise and you do both bowling and batting properly, you are contributing,” Clive Rice had theorised. “In the match you’re always in the game. If you get out for a duck, you don’t spend your time standing at third man. You can pick up five wickets and it is great again. This appealed to me. I guess it appealed to all those guys.”
