1) Sachin Tendulkar's bowling:
Took 146 wickets in ODI's and 46 in Tests. He was responsible for several heroics with the ball and some beauties such as the final over against WI to tie the game and the googly to bowl Moin Khan.

2) Jonty Rhodes batting:
From 97-00', he averaged over 50 with the bat until he decided to focus on ODI cricket.

3) Carl Hooper's bowling:
Took 114 in Tests with 4 5-fers' and 193 in ODI's!

4) B-Mac's fielding:
His fielding through a larger picture captured the image of his turnaround of the NZ team of the early-to-mid 2010's by chasing and leaping over the boundary to stop an almost certain boundary.

Feel free to add more...

1. JP Duminy as a player in general. He had a torrid end to his career but was generally a team player and, under Smith, seemed to have a golden arm. I could see him try his best. In my honest opinion though, he underperformed and could have been an excellent (even SA great) all-rounder.

2. Fielding in general. It's difficult to throw your body around as an adult :P

3. Rahane. I don't know why but I have great respect for him. He has a Kallis (batsman) aura to him.

Misbah - having no intention of chasing a target, but remaining not out and hitting a few useless boundaries at the end to make it seem like you were the only one who tried.
