Top 10 South African batsmen of all time

8 Darryl Cullinan

Darryl Cullinan was the anchor around which South African batting revolved in the 1990s and early noughties. Technically correct, defensively solid and range of strokes that could handle most bowling attacks made him one of the best top order batsmen of his generation.

Although he averaged 44.21 in 70 Tests, he had the ability to bat big and long, a quality that saw him score plenty of big hundreds. Cullinan scored 14 Test centuries in total and more than held his own in one-day internationals despite managing to score only 3 centuries in the shorter format of the game.
