Nourse

Cricinfo - Players and Officials - Dudley Nourse

34 Matches, 62 Innings, 2960 runs @ 53.81, Highest score 231. 9 Hundreds and 14 50s. Over 12000 domestic runs.

A forgotten great because he was in a terrible team, but easily one of the best South Africans ever to grace the cricket pitch.

1) SR Waugh
2) G Boycott

Had to make sure Boycs got at least one vote. Probably went on for too long (if he'd retired after the close of the English season in 1978 by which time he was already 37 he'd had ended with over 5,500 runs at over 51) and obviously ploughed his own furrow, but as an out-and-out accumulator of runs he's up there with the best.
