South African cricket was on the cusp of unity back in 1991 when the last-ever non-racial selected South African Cricket Board team played two matches against Border XI at Buffalo Park in East London.SACB team: Saait Magiet , Vincent Barnes, Andre Peters, Haroon Lorgat, Khaya Majola, , Faiek Davids, Imraan Munshi, Nazeem White, Abdul Haq Manack, Yaseen Begg, Ismail Behardien.
His crowning moment was despatching Darren Gough in a whirlwind innings of 55 not out off just 39 balls for WP against an England XI at Newlands in a day-night game. Many believe the advent of T20 cricket came a few years too late for Davids as his aggressive batting, solid medium-pace bowling and athletic fielding would have made him a much-coveted “gun for hire” in the modern game. Davids is currently the assistant coach of the Cape Cobras franchise team.
Unity unfortunately came too late for arguably the greatest Howa Bowl cricketer ever. The lion-heart of WPCB can best be described as “the Ben Stokes of yesteryear.” Magiet simply had that magical touch of being able to make things happen on the cricket field. Blessed with the fore-arms the size of tree trunks and a barrel-chest, no challenge was ever too big.
A menacing fast bowler with long-flowing hair, Manack formed a potent new-ball partnership with Vincent Barnes. Manack played mostly for Transvaal “B” after unity, although played for Transvaal against Somerset on their tour of England in 1992. He is now a renowned spiritual leader and motivational speaker.The premier fast bowler during the SACB era, Barnes terrorised batsmen for fun.
ZaahierAdams Great piece from sport ZaahierAdams with special reference to VincentBarnes60 but what was obvious back then was still how prejudice the initial selections were in unity ... Each one of the SACB team was good enough to make teams; not B teams
