Cronje burdens Rhodes
GALLE. Sri Lanka. July 5 (AFP): Life will never be the same again for South Africa's Jonty Rhodes in
the aftermath of former captain Hansie Cronje's unceremonious exit from cricket.
The bubbly Rhodes, whose electrifying fielding has delighted fans worldwide, suddenly finds himself the senior player in the South African team taking part in the Singer Cup tri-series here.
With the 188-match veteran Cronje dumped because of his dalliance with bookmakers. Rhodes takes over as South Africa’s leading one-day player with 172 appearances, way ahead of next man Gary Kirsten's tally of 127.
Rhodes. 30. and his middleorder colleague Daryll Cullinan are the only ones In the 16-man touring party to have played in South Africa's previous tour of Sri Lanka in 1993.
It was on that tour, captained by Kepler Wessels, that Rhodes scored his maiden Test century to announce to the world there was more to him than just diving around on the field.
Rhodes will return to Galle again later this month to play
his 50th Test match when the three-Test series against Sri Lanka starts after the triangular Singer Cup.
"I didn't realise I had played so many Tests." the Natal batsman said. "I would have been happy if 1 had played only one Test and not been given another chance.”
For the time being. Rhodes wants to concentrate on winning the Singer Cup for South
Africa, and knows how important his role is.
"I am now one of the senior guys in the squad and that brings added responsibility." he said. "I have to set an example for the youngsters."
Rhodes Is 86 runs away from becoming only the third South
African after Cronje and Kirsten to score 4,000 one-day runs. His tally of 3,914 includes one century and 16 fifties.
Eight years have passed since Rhodes attracted attention with his extraordinary run out of Pakistan's Inzamamul Haq in the 1992 World Cup, swooping on the ball at point and diving head-on into the stumps at Brisbane.
Since then Rhodes has played tn two more World Cups and is now the only South African to have toured all the Test-playing nations.
Sri Lanka is one of his favourite tourist spots from the cricketing angle.
"It Is great to be back here where I scored my first Test hundred." Rhodes said. "I have always enjoyed playing on the sub-continent.
"I am also a lot wiser. When 1 first came here, my game was still a bit loose, but the hundred gave me the confidence to play better.
"People regarded me as more of a one-day player, but I am a better Test batsman these days. The tour of England a few seasons ago helped me tighten my game."
Rhodes showed his liking for Sri Lankan conditions by making 46 off 48 balls in his team's eight-run victory over a local side In a practice match on Tuesday.
South Africa take on hosts Sri Lanka in their first match here on Thursday.
