Awesome talent, can't believe he never got to play for South Africa...

You could also list Strauss, prior, Jennings, Compton, trott etc in this category

To be fair, it's quite understandable that, in modern cricket, someone could have played 50 ODIs without anyone noticing.

That's the one. Only read about him in Simon Hughes' book and checked his stats which are amazing. Apparently Brearley was really underwhelmed at the signing to replace Wayne Daniel but he ended up topping the national averages and they won the double!

In the modern era, Klinger. Unless he gets in the XI next week or whenever it is. Along with Stuart Law and Mal Loye in the didn't play for his country but actually did category, Paul Nixon!

Of the current generation I think Sam Northeast has been unlucky, especially when our one day sides a year or so back we're so pants.
James Kirtley as well was a fantastic bowler not sure he ever played internationally either

Seeing the Vincent van der post and the reasons why  caused me  to think of  a world class South African : Clive Rice.

Clive Rice was South Africa's first captain on readmission.
