	On the Cricket Pitch: Top five players of 2006 - Makhaya Ntini
		Makhaya Ntini appeals successfully for the dismissal of India’s Sachin Tendulkar during the recent test in Durban.
		For most of his career Holding was part of a potent four-pronged pace attack, while Ntini’s main competition for wickets has come from Shaun Pollock, but it is interesting to note that Holding’s strike rate of a wicket every 50 balls is only marginally ahead of Ntini’s which is superior to that of Andy Roberts.
		Three years ago Ntini was the top wicket taker in world cricket with 59 wickets and in 2006 he is second only to Muttiah Muralitharan (90), with 58 scalps to brag about.

		He is, of course, the first truly indigenous fl cricketer to play for South Africa; the one guy who made it to the team on merit, and stayed there by doing even better than expectations.
		For a boy who didn't have shoes, and had to borrow a torn pair from his mentor and guide (Raymond Boje from the Border Cricket Association), who couldn't speak a word of English and was quick and nothing else, he knows it has been an impossible dream.
