 Profile

Adrian Kuiper was a capable allrounder known for his big-hitting exploits for Western Province. In a day-night match between a South African XI and a Rebel English XI in 1989, Kuiper demolished the English attack with 117, brought up off just 49 deliveries. His international opportunities were limited to one Test and 25 ODIs from 1991 to 1996. When South Africa made their international return after 21 years in isolation Kupier was 32 and his best years were behind him. In the first ODI against India Kupier scored 43 - hitting one enormous six which the Eden Gardens crowd stood up to applaud - out of his side's total of 177 and later picked up the wicket of Kapil Dev. He was briefly appointed vice-captain of South Africa.
