- Imran Tahir – 7-45 vs West Indies, St Kitts:
Arguably, Tahir has been South Africa’s biggest asset with the ball and his fantastic numbers make him the leading spinner in ODI cricket at the moment. The leggie is a genuine wicket- taker and due to his knack of picking wickets frequently, his economy is towards the lower side as well. Tahir’s best bowling performance this year came against the West Indies in a Tri-Series also featuring Australia. Tahir bagged a seven wicket haul, as the Proteas decimated the West Indies by 139 runs. In the nine overs he bowled, Tahir picked up seven wickets.
