fwiw van der Bijl would similarly to Richards only have a ~10 year career. Though unlike him may have been able to extend if international cricket was around, as he had no discernible drop off near the end.

IIRC wasn't it for professional reasons moreso than form?

I believe so. So yeah he might’ve extended if SA was playing internationally. Then again, some didn’t e.g Davidson. iirc van der Bijl was a teacher and really really enjoyed that. Even the lure of county money only tempted him for a season.
