With an unbeaten 222 in his debut Test innings,
Jacques Rudolph vindicated those who believed that he had been a
victim of reverse discrimination in South Afrian cricket. His
record-breaking, unconquered 429-run stand for the third wicket with
Boeta Dippenaar in Chittagong was a delivery of promise long after
he had forced his way into the South African squad in November 2001
by sheer weight of runs in domestic cricket. A left-handed batsman
who stands tall at the point of delivery with an upraised bat,
Rudolph has pleasing footwork, balance and favours the cover drive.
His Test debut was balm to the wounds Rudolph suffered leading up to
his first entry to international cricket. Twice he was in line for
his Test debut, and twice politics intervened. His first
international experience came during the unofficial match at
Centurion against India in 2001-02, in the aftermath of the Mike
Denness affair. And two months later he was named in the side to
face Australia at Sydney, but the UCB Board President Percy Sonn
vetoed his selection on the grounds of racial discrimination, and
the Cape Coloured Justin Ontong made his debut instead. Since then,
however, he has become a fixture in the South African middle-order,
accumulating his runs in an undemonstrative manner. His time, it
would appear, has come
