Russell Endean, who played 28 Test matches for South Africa from 1951 to 1958, was one of the country's most influential cricketers and is credited for being one of the most outstanding fielders of his generation. Endean had everything that one would expect from a top-level fielder.

Raw reflexes, athleticism, the ability to move quickly and above all the power to anticipate the batsman's moves. He took plenty of stunning catches in his career and was particularly effective when fielding in an attacking position to South Africa's legendary off-spinner Hugh Tayfield's bowling.

There is absolutely no doubt that he is among South Africa's best ever fielders.
