Cape Cobras batsman Stiaan van Zyl finished in the top five of the SuperSport batting averages during the 2007-08 the season as he made his mark on the domestic scene. The Cobras finished last and winless in the previous year's competition and had been combing the winelands and peninsulas for answers to their batting woes.
van Zyl, coming into the side with Ashwell Prince and JP Duminy on international duty, immediately impressed with his determination to battle it out at the crease. And, for a 20-year-old, he showed unusual daring in being willing to leave the ball.
"From the first time I saw him bat for Boland, I really liked him," Shukri Conrad, the Cobras coach, said. "Being able to let the fifty-fifty [deliveries] go was his biggest asset and he can bat for long periods. Some guys you feel strongly about and you want to back them even if they go through a barren patch. But Stiaan has fully justified the selectors' choice and he is a quiet, unassuming lad."
