Gary Kirsten
Alright backup time. One of the finest South African batsmen and probably their second best test opener Kirsetn wasn't as skilled as many but he was more determined then most. In 101 tests Kirsten scored 7289 runs at an average of 45.27 with 21 centuries and 34 fifties. In 1999 he made his career best 275 when South Africa were following on, and to this day that stands as the 2nd longest innings in terms of duration. Happy with this.
Derek Underwood
Seeing as how good left arm bowlers were running low I decided to take Derek Underwood. Nicknamed "Deadly" by his teammates he was a accurate left arm medium and left arm orthodox bowler who could bowl on just about any wicket. With 296 wickets in 86 tests he was/is one of the most successful left arm bowlers of all time.
