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.

Back then fast bowling was about accuracy and wicket taking, not about hitting 158-160 kmph mark. Low scoring 4th innings and yet test cricket at its best. Australia fighting back from 8/72 to 8/107 and South African team digging deep, Cronje as patient as anyone, trying and mixing. Eventually the younger side won, the freshness in their Cricket got them their win. Great match.

Yeah, I'm from India and I know that plus I remember Tendulkar's confused and dejected look many times when Fannie got him. Me and my mom watched a lot of cricket together. And we both acknowledged his prowess. SA decimated India in those years. Well, I was 17 back then in 1994. T20's killed my interest in cricket. I go on to say it killed cricket itself. Those were the golden days. We loved to watch and feel the thrill regardless of who won. It was always good. Same goes for tennis 🎾. Well, had they not banned SA from sports because of political differences, we'd have seen way more of so many greats, Fannie being right there at the top. I do feel sorry for the players, they're the ones that get caught in the mire of politics. Kepler Wessels played for Australia for some time. Cheers!

The entire team of NSW, Vic, SA, Qld and Tas players failed, yet they blamed the sole West Australian playing in his second test for the loss.....after he scored an eye catching 50 in the first innings. Same thing happened to him after the 2005 ashes series. Scapegoated. And now cricket aficionados regularly watch all the videos of his "bring tissues" cover drives. Makes you mourn for those 6 years he was left in the wilderness because of this one stroke.
