A year after making his Test debut, Boeta Dippenaar
scored his maiden century against New Zealand at the Wanderers
before he unluckily lost his place at the top of the order to the
recalled Herschelle Gibbs. He grabbed his chance of returning to the
Test team, after South Africa's disastrous 2003 World Cup, with an
unbeaten 178 against lowly Bangladesh. Prolific first-class
runscorers occasionally have weaknesses found out against top-class
opposition, and so it was with Dippenaar who quickly found that his
tendency to play across and around his back-foot defensive strokes
was costly against quality Test bowlers. He worked hard to rectify
the problem. On good days, however, he can please the eye for six
hours and more. He is not a tall man yet he bats like one, seemingly
able to reach the pitch of every ball bowled on or outside off stump
and drive it through the covers. The reach and the sweetness of the
timing are the foundations of his game; his ability as a cover
fielder is a bonus. He has had great success while opening the
batting in one-dayers and cemented his place in the one-day side
after a fantastic series against West Indies in 2005, when he ended
with an average of more than 100. Dippenaar revels in the outdoor
pursuits which kept him busy as a boy growing up in the Free State,
and touring is almost as much an opportunity to fish new waters as
it is to play cricket
