I never saw much of him during the rebel tours, but thereafter he joined (what was then) Orange Free State. Back then, this side had players like Alvin Kallicharan, Sylvester Clarke....and a VERY young, fresh-faced teen just joined the side...A boy called Alan Donald...

Yeah, along with Clive Rice's Transvaal mean machine, this Free State side was THE domestic side to beat...Until Kepler Wessels joined Eastern Province, of course...

Oh my, I'm getting side-tracked...Yes, Sylvester Clarke. Boy, was he quick. And he did not mind playing that chin music at all...And that GLARE when a batsman tried to hook him!

I don't need a picture of Clarke, I can still see him in my mind's eye...That's the kind of impression the guy left you with.

Oh, we used to call him Sylvester de Klerk (The Afrikaans angle, you know...playing for Free State and all...)
