Mark Boucher:  A wicket-keeping legend | News Article

Boucher made his debut for the Proteas as a 20-year-old against Pakistan in Sheikhpura in October 1997. Since then, he has notched up a number of world records, including most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in Tests with 555. He also stands on 999 international dismissals in all formats of the game. He scored his first Test century, one of only five in his career, in his 16th Test against the West Indies in Centurion, in January 1999. In his 38th Test, in March 2001, he became South Africa's most successful wicketkeeper with his 153rd dismissal against the West Indies in Port of Spain.  Boucher also captained the national side for a brief period in the 2002/03 season, filling in for regular captain Shaun Pollock who was injured.
