Dippenaar is a surprising name on the list

Dippenaar was never a permanent member of South Africa’s Test squad throughout the 2000s; he played 38 Tests in a career spanning 7 years and scored 1718 runs at 30.14. He was much more prolific in ODIs where he averaged 42.24 but his career never got to the heights it was expected to.

However, he did achieve one uncanny landmark in a Test vs New Zealand in 2000. En route to his 100 at Johannesburg, he scored 84 runs in boundaries (21*4). The Test ended in a draw as three days were washed out completely.
