Makhaya Ntini

101 Test matches; 390 wickets; 28.82 average; 7 37 BBI; 53.4 strike rate A South African superstar, Makhaya Ntini was a key component of the Proteas bowling attack as they became a world power. Perhaps not as quick as others, he instead was reliant on an incredible consistency and work ethic that stood him in good stead even on the most lifeless pitches. His career may have come to a sad end but having played 100 Test matches and taken almost 400 wickets, his place in South Africas cricketing history is secure.
