#4 Makhaya Ntini

South Africa v England - 1st Test Day Three
Ntini, representative of the blacks in the country, was a true national hero

South Africa's first black cricketer, Makhaya Ntini was a legend in every right. An unorthodox fast bowler with a unique action, Ntini quickly established himself in the South African setup after he picked up a coveted ten-wicket haul at Lord's in 2003. Alongside Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald, Ntini formed a pace attack that terrorised teams around the globe.

He was quite a popular cricketer and a fan favourite and became the third South African to 300 Test wickets. He claimed his 350th Test wicket in his 90th Test match but was a waning force by then although he did scale the 100 Tests barrier. The arrival of Steyn and Morkel also made things tough for Ntini and the legend eventually hung up his boots in 2011.
