0 Steven Jack


Steven Douglas Jack (born 4 August 1970 in DurbanNatal) is a former South African cricketer who played in two Tests and two ODIs from 1994 to 1995. He was a fast, aggressive bowler and formed a formidable opening partnership with Richard Snell for Transvaal in the early 1990s, as they tried to recapture the glory of the 'Mean Machine' years. He made his Test debut against New Zealand during the 1994-95 season, taking five wickets in the third Test. He was unfortunate to have his career coincide with that of Allan Donald, and it was then cut short due to injury. His first-class career spanned seven seasons in which he took 223 wickets with a best of 8 for 51 against Eastern Province. In his two One Day Internationals during theMandela Trophy in 1995 he took three wickets. He attended Glenwood High School in Durban

0 Robin Peterson


Robin John Peterson (born 4 August 1979 in Port Elizabeth) is a South African cricketer, who bowls left arm spin. He is also a more than capable batsman, with a first class batting average of 26.35 as of 6 November 2005. His first class bowling average is a modest 36.36, however, and in Test matches it stands at 50.37. He has played five Tests and 21 ODIs for South Africa, with his last international match coming in the 2004-05 Tour of India, where he took one wicket for 90 runs as South Africa's lone spin bowler in the drawn first Test match. He also played in the Sri Lanka Cricket A Team Triangular Series in 2005-06, where he took five wickets in five one day matches, and currently plays for the Eastern Cape Warriors.
He holds the dubious accolade of being the bowler from whom Brian Lara scored a world record tally of 28 runs in a single Test match over.[1]
In December 2009, it was revealed that he had signed a contract to play for Derbyshire on a Kolpak contract.[2]
He attended Alexander Road High school in Port Elizabeth and matriculated in 1997.
