Well he does not really play for The Proteas anymore since he retired but I thought it was worth mentioning, since he has been known to be the straightest bowlers in the world. So is there anyone who could do better?

The straightest bowler? I'm not sure how much of an advantage that would be in a test. Seems that you could become too used to it, too easily.

Well, no one said it was an advantage but it is an accomplishment. I have trouble walking straight sometimes, forget about bowling straight. Now if he were the fastest, straightest bowler that would really be an accomplishment.

I wonder just how they measure something like that. How many video cameras it takes and what exacting measurements. Its a strange claim to fame!

I never thought about it like that before, ExcuseMe. But it would be interesting to know just how they determined that he was the straightest bowler.
