Top 10 South African middle order batsmen of all time

#6 Daryll Cullinan

Right-handed batsman Daryll Cullinan served as one of the stalwarts of the South African batting line up throughout his career that spanned around 8 years between 1993 and 2001. In all but one of his 70 Tests did Cullinan not bat in the middle-order and his preferred position throughout his career was the number 4 position.

Cullinan was one of the most technically adept batsmen of his generation and had the patience to bat for long periods. On the other hand, he was an excellent stroke-maker and had almost all attacking strokes in his repertoire. His difficulties against Shane Warne are perhaps a bit overplayed since he was not actually poor against spin bowling and he proved that by scoring a century against Muralitharan during the tour of Sri Lanka in 2000.

Additionally, he was unfazed by conditions and had the ability to alter his game according to the challenges. Cullinan made 4504 runs at a healthy average of 44.59 and also notched up 14 centuries, in addition to 20 half-centuries.
