#2 Dave Richardson
Following South Africa's readmission to international cricket in 1991, Dave Richardson remained the country's ever-reliable man behind the stumps for around six years. Richardson was a throwback to the traditional wicket-keeper who went about his job quietly but efficiently.
He played 42 Test matches and 122 One day internationals in his career, over the course of which he took 298 catches (150 in Tests and 148 in ODIs) and stumped 19 unfortunate batsmen. It is also important to remember that Richardson kept wickets to some of the fastest bowlers in the world in the form of Allan Donald, Brett Schultz, and Fannie de Villiers among others. There is no doubt that Richardson will go down in history as one of South Africa's greatest wicket-keepers.
