| biography:
| Cricketer, born in Durban, E South Africa. His Test career was restricted by the sporting ban imposed on South Africa, and he had to be content with a place in English county cricket as the only all-rounder ever to rival Gary Sobers. In first-class cricket he scored 48 centuries, a record six of them in succession, and took a hat-trick with his unorthodox fast bowler's action on four occasions. Highly individual in style, he was for many years the mainstay of Gloucestershire cricket. |
