South Africa Cricket Players
Boeta Dippenaar
Hendrik Human Dippenaar, known as Boeta (born 14 June 1977, Kimberley, Cape Province)
is a cricketer who has played Test and one-day international
cricket for South Africa and the ACA African XI. He has
played as a specialist batsman in most of his matches, and
has played Test cricket in all batting positions from one
through seven . He bats right handed and bowls occasional
off breaks. Dippenaar made his international debut in September
1999, playing two of South Africa's four one-day internationals
as an opening batsman during the LG Cup in Kenya, which
South Africa won, and he also played both Tests in the home-and-away
Test series with Zimbabwe in October and November that same
month, making 56 runs in four innings. He was in and out
of both the Test and one-day international team during the
next five years, never playing more than eight Tests in
succession, but during the tour of the West Indies in 200405
Dippenaar's showed signs of improving. He was selected for
two Tests against the West Indies, recording two fifties
in three innings, and subsequently averaged 105.66 in the
5-ODI series against the West Indies, which earned him the
Player of the Month title from cricketweb.net. However,
he made four sub-25 scores in his next ODIs, before a wrist
injury ruled him out of the remaining four matches against
New Zealand and the tour of India in November. By December,
Dippenaar had recovered, and he turned out for the Eagles
in three Standard Bank Cup matches in that month, scoring
49 runs in his three innings. The South African selectors
did, however, call on him for the one-day leg of the tour
of Australia , which will include the VB Series.
