Top 10 South African middle order batsmen of all time

#7 Ashwell Prince

From 2002 to 2011, Ashwell Prince was a pillar of the South African middle-order and out of his 66 Tests for the nation, he batted in the middle-order positions in 59 of those games. In the majority of the games, he batted in the number 5 position and lent the South African batting line-up a lot of solidity and stability.

Prince was blessed with an excellent technique and had the ability to graft that made him such an asset for the team. He lost his place in the side frequently due to loss of form but that did not stop him from making 3341 runs at an average of 43.38 as a middle-order batsman.

Prince made 10 centuries and 11 half-centuries and also holds the distinction of being the first non-white South African captain.
