Player
Profile
Lance
Klusener is the player of the tournament for
the 1999 World Cup. In that competition and
for two years thereafter, Klusener was a force
with which to be reckoned in either batting
or bowling. He gained a reputation as the world's
most brutal "finisher." He was a batsman
able to hit boundaries seemingly at will and
terrorised bowlers with his heavy, crushing
blade.
While
Klusener has added much to his array of bowling
tricks, his batting has tailed off remarkably
in the last year. While his reputation recommended
him a place in SA's squad, his form did not.
His potential for devastation with the bat may
be well remembered, it is more likely that he
will contribute with the ball in this World
Cup.
