1970 - 1992 : a 22 year period of apartheid BAN.
Prior to 1970 , South Africa was arguably the strongest side in the World :
Graeme Pollock and brother Peter, Eddie Barlow, Mike Procter . Barry Richards et al.
Pity Viv never met the Fire :-[

* THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE.
* Up to 1970, South Africa had 2 bowlers that stood out.
* Tayfield took 170 wickets in 37 tests @25.91 avg
* Peter Pollock took 116 wickets in 28 tests @24.81
* The other SA bowlers were good or ordinary.
* Actually Mike Proctor had 41 wkts in 7 tests----the ban surely affected him---he was a great bowler in English county cricket.
