A crouching lefthander with a high-batted stance and
a grimace reminiscent of Graham Gooch, Ashwell Prince was helped
into the national team by South Africa's controversial quota system,
although he quickly justified his selection by top-scoring on debut
with a gutsy 49 against the mighty Australians in 2001-02. That
innings, and a matchwinning 48 in the third Test at Durban, seemed
to shed his reputation as a one-day flasher. But by the start of the
2002-03 season, his form had fallen away horribly, and he failed in
four consecutive home Tests against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Long
rated highly by SA's cricket supremo Ali Bacher, Prince is strong
through the off side, and was Western Province's player of the year
in 2001. His throwing from the deep has been hampered by a long-term
shoulder injury, but he remains a brilliant shot-stopping fielder in
the covers.
