South Africa's world record chasers: Where are they now?

Roger Telemachus

Telemachus hit two crucial boundaries at the end.

Telemachus, a well-built seamer who played sporadically for the national side from 1996-2007, got the first breakthrough for South Africa by capturing Adam Gilchrist. He came back to dismiss Ponting as well, not before the latter had compiled a career-best 164. He hit two crucial boundaries towards the end of the chase to keep the match alive.

Telemachus was asked to quit competitive cricket on medical grounds after an angiogram in 2009. He was the caretaker coach of the Dolphins until May this year. After the appointment of Grant Morgan as the head coach, Telemachus is expected to return to take over the KwaZulu-Natal provincial side.
