All Time South Africa XI game

International Debutant
Maybe we can include the players that during the isolation era played County Cricket most of the best did that, and gives a method of looking at records outside the local dometic scene on an international scale.
The other possibility is to include the players who played in the rebel tours as that would also be a step up from South African domestic cricket. While I don't know if complete stats are available, WIkipedia has the leading run scorers and wicket takers, which covers the main players who would be under consideration.

Sorry to spoil some peoples plans but as per the opening post and as per the other 9 countries we've done, only Test Cricketers will be counted.

Happy enough for people to speculate where the great first class cricketers might have ended up. :)

Fair enough, was just a thought... (I will just have to put a giant * next to the 1st XI and 2nd XI. :) )
