Justin Kemp, South Africa – Player profile

Now you’re talking. Justin Kemp plays a particular role for South Africa. Basically, South Africa’s duller batsmen get the side within striking distance of their opponents total and then when one of them’s out with ten overs to go, Justin Kemp comes in and goes ballistic.

South Africa aren’t out of any run chase until Justin Kemp is out. Back in 1999 Lance Klusener was the stand-out player of the World Cup fulfilling just this role. South Africans will be hoping that Kemp can go some way to equalling Klusener’s feats.
