About Rassie van der Dussen

A classic Mark Ramprakash case of South African cricket - a domestic legend, but not quite making the cut for the national side. That may be a little harsh, but Rassie van der Dussen is rather unfortunate not to have played for the national team - because of the abundance of all-rounders, the quota system, or otherwise.

A top-order batsman for the Lions in South Africa, van der Dussen averages more than 40 in first-class cricket and List A cricket, and a relatively underwhelming scoring rate in T20s. He is a rare breed of bowler - a part-time leggie, and can go for a few runs but has a knack of picking up wickets. If his bowling skills can be cleaned up, van Der Dussen is likely to be on the radar for a national call-up even at the brink of 30.
