Great to see video of this marvellous (thanks Richie) South African all rounder. He was one of three great bowlers who I seem to recall bowled off the "wrong" foot - Malcolm Marshall and Max Walker being the other two.
Did anyone see the Youtube video that immediately followed it? It was a channel 9 competition from 1979 to see who was the world's fastest bowler. Clearly they were only using WSC players but I reckon they've got all the big names from the time. Watch it if you want a bit of nostalgia but I was disappointed because it burst a few of my cherished memories of just how quick they were (but bearing in mind it was using late 1970's technology speed gun technology). You might also be surprised who won the most accurate bowler contest as well - I certainly was!
