Spook Hanley hat trick v WIndies at Wanderers 1983. 

South Africas best side would have been in the 1970s.

@@stephenmcloughlin7718 True. What battles they would have been!!

Rupert Hanley was _So Quick_ ... He could switch any Light Off at the Wall .. ... and Be In Bed ... before the light goes out ... ;-) go ahead ... be my guest ... try it out @ home & _See for yourself_

Lawrence Rowe once said that Hanley was really of gentle pace.. I think that was more one upmanship..he was probably 130-140

@@layyah0905 , he took 6-22 in another odi, dismissing the Windies for 54. So he must have been nippy enough.

​@@stephenmcloughlin7718 I remember that match. I think Spook could probably touch 90mph on a good day.

Spook Hanley began his career in the early 70's so he was around 31-32 at this time. During the 70's he was legitimately quick; at this time he was generally more fast medium. This match was played at The Wanderers (which was his home track at this point of his career) which was usually a quick track. RSA certainly did have a very strong brigade of international class pacemen during the 70's and into the 80's with the likes of Proctor, Van Der Bijl, Le Roux, Rice, Hanley then followed on by the likes of Jefferies, Watson, Van Zyl then the generation that we saw at their re-emergence in 1991-2. What would have cost Hanley more international appearances was his inability with the bat.
