Happy Birthday Lance Klusener: When a sugarcane farm worker became the best all-rounder in cricket
Happy Birthday Lance Clusener: It does not take long for a person’s luck to change. He just needs to believe in his hard work and effort. Hard work done for a clear goal takes a person from rags to riches.

A similar story is of one of the best all-rounders in the history of South African cricket, who once used to work in sugarcane fields.

On 4 September 1971, a child was born in Natal Province of South Africa. The family worked in sugarcane fields. After growing up, it was the child’s destiny to work in the sugarcane fields and he happily joined this work. He also learned the Zulu language, which is spoken by more than 50 percent of Africa’s population.
He got associated with cricket in the last year of school and the school team reached the finals. He did not want to make a career in cricket, so he joined the army and worked for three years. He used to play cricket even while in the army. During this time his bowling ability impressed everyone. West Indies’ great bowler Malcolm Marshall, who was then the manager of the African team Natal, saw this cricketer bowling for the first time and recognized his amazing ability.

Marshall worked on this cricketer continuously. In 1993-1994, he was selected for Natal XI and from here began the journey of one of the greatest all-rounders. Under Marshall’s supervision, this young cricketer not only improved his bowling but also his batting.

On 19 January 1996, a crick…
Klusener was considered the golden arm of South Africa. Klusener was known as a bowler who used to break established partnerships. While batting, he used to finish the match for the team by batting at number five, sixth or seventh. He used to work as a finisher when this word was not even in discussion.

Klusener’s zenith was seen in the 1999 ODI World Cup. He was the only one standing for the team in the semi-final against Australia. He was playing after scoring 31 runs off 16 balls. The score was tied. If Donald had not been run out, then South Africa would have been in the final. But, luck was not with them. South Africa lost to Australia in the league match. Therefore, it did not get a chance to go to the final, but Klusener impressed with his performanc…
Klusener scored 3,576 runs in 137 innings of 171 ODIs, remained unbeaten 50 times, scored 2 centuries and 19 half-centuries at an average of 41.10. He also took 192 wickets. During this period, he took 5 or more wickets in a match 6 times.

Klusener, who took a wicket almost every 30th ball, had an economy of 4.70. His batting and bowling averages and strike rate show Klusener’s extraordinary ability.

While making the list of best all-rounders, experts often forget the name of Klusener, but the statistics of this player in the ODI format demonstrate his superiority.

Apart from scoring 1,906 runs with the help of 4 centuries in 49 Tests, he also took 80 wickets. In the second innings of his debut Test against India, Klusener took 8 wickets for 64 runs. This…
