Zulu finds fulfilment in coaching
After limping out of international cricket, Lance Klusener slipped off the radar, but his coaching stint with Dolphins has given them a higher profile and self-belief

If all that was known of Lance Klusener was the way he lit up the 1999 World Cup, it might be expected that his career ended with similar lustre. It didn't.
Five years after the fireworks, Klusener fizzled out of the international arena. No fuss, no fanfare. There was a three-year gap between his penultimate Test and his final one and he spent nine months out of the ODI team following a loss of form, which he did not regain on recall.

Lance Klusener broke into first-class cricket as a fast bowler - mentored by Malcolm Marshall at Natal, no less - and went on to be of the most feared allrounders in the game at the turn of the 21st century, leaving his stamp on the 1999 World Cup, where he was Player of the Series for his 17 wickets and 281 runs.
Klusener was driven in his early days by a straightforward approach to bowling: hit the batter's head if you can't hit his stumps.

He was a revelation in his debut Test, in 1996, ending with match-winning figures of 8 for 64 against India in Calcutta. In the time between then and the next World Cup, he showed glimpses of his prowess. In the 1997 Wills Quadrangular Tournament in Pakistan, he made a barnstorming fifty and took 6 for 49 against Sri Lanka, and then followed it up with 99 and a wicket in a crushing win for South Africa in the final, against the same opponent.
Klusener's baseball-style backlift and thunderous hitting have become emblematic of the 1999 Wo
