Fanie De Villiers was probably the most accurate fast bowler of all time, one who relied purely on line and length along with decent pace. He was equally effective in both Tests as well as ODIs in all situations. Also, he was the best in bowling Cutters both off and leg as well as pin point Yorkers.
"Can south africa pull this out of the hat.this may be their magic act" - Bill Lawry "This is test cricket at its best" - Simon Its actually both the test cricket and the commentary at its best. Absolutely loved the video.This must be one of the best test matches ever.Vintage stuff from De Villiers and Donald . Very high quality bowling rarely seen.Awesome
One of the greatest moments ever for the game of cricket. The South African boys were amazing. So much better than these poor ones we have nowadays. Thanks Fanie for setting the standard.
Being an indian, southafrica was my favourite team that time clearly bcz of their never say die spirit. Each player were so talented & had their unique techniques. What a wonderful high arm bowling style fannie had.
South Africa's exile from international cricket deprived players like Fanie from becoming legends of the game. What a shame he could not represent his country enough in test cricket. He was very economical, wicket taker and match winner on his day
What a test. I was 8 at the time too young to appreciate it but over the years I often heard commentators speak of it. Glad I finally got to see the best moments of this glorious test.
This same match brought SA out of oblivion and made Hansie Cronje the Face of SA cricket over the almost next decade. Also, this match maligned Damien martyn's first half of the career and made him wait for another 5 years to find a place in the team! Such a Historic turn of events.
