Test Cricket Tours - South Africa to West Indies 2000-01

 

 

Tour of West Indies 2000-01          Captain: Shaun Pollock

 

 

 

 

 

 

29th official test tour

 

Second Test-playing tour of West Indies by South Africa

 

 

   (February - March 2001)

 

 

 

The West Indies Board would pay for only fifteen players but the South African selectors pressed their Board to take a sixteenth player. Roger Telemachus would join the squad after completion of his domestic commitments with Western Province - useful cover in the light of Allan Donald’s recent injury record.

Five players and the physiotherapist were fined R10 000 for smoking marijuana in their hotel room celebrating winning the series after the fourth Test match in Antigua.  Justin Kemp, Herschelle Gibbs, Paul Adams, Andre Nel, Roger Telemachus and Craig Smith read out an apology on arrivial home at Johannesburg.
