South Africa's Greatest Cricket XI

With the Proteas in the country, it's time to consider the Republic's greatest ever XI.

Here's mine to cover all forms of the game -

Barry Richards
Graeme Smith
Jacques Kallis
Graeme Pollock (captain)
AB de Villiers (wk)
Jonty Rhodes
Mike Procter
Shaun Pollock
Hugh Tayfield
Dale Steyn
Allan Donald

Gone for 4 quicks and Tayfield as slow bowler as he's the best out of an average lot - no way Adams or Boje should be there.

Gone for de Villiers to keep over Boucher as his batting average is better and he's got potential to be the better wicketkeeper than Boucher.

Klusener was average in tests while Wessels wasn't actually a very good player - in there just because he had test experience.
