No Hilton/Michaelhouse are in Natal which is where he originally hails from. He played for Natal and was awesome, but knew he’d never get the nod for the SA side because there were slightly better all-rounders. Maybe the likes of Brian Macmillan? I’m trying to think who their all rounders we’re back then?


Oh sorry, sounded like a Zimbabwean School system. Yea I guess there was a lot of batting and bowling talent in the mid 90's in SA national side.

The emergence of Jaques Kallis would probably have hindered his cause slightly, and Shaun Pollock. If he'd have played perhaps 4 years earlier he way well have had a look in.

Very similar to Craig Ervine

This is the only footage I could find of him

Alistair Campbell you mean? Pure Alistair Campbell that one.

Barney Rogers would have gone on to be our greatest ever ODI opener.

After Neil Johnson


Yea Johnson was a talent and a half wasn't he. We speak about Andy Flower in test Cricket (and batting in general), but this blokes talent is often missed. Easily one of the most gifted stroke players to have ever played for Zimbabwe. Made is look effortless.

What was his bowling like? Sadly never really saw him bowl live, have only seen the videos from the CWC In 99'


He was opening the batting and opening the bowling (ahead of Heath Streak) in the '99 WC. That should answer your question I think.

Yea, but was more edging towards the 'what type of bowler was he,' area of the conversation.
