Peterson has long been there or thereabouts for SA cricket, but he has never quite cracked the big time or consistent game time - especially with the emergence of Paul Harris in recent years as the first choice spinner.
His record highlight this:
6 test matches - 163 runs at an average of 27 and 14 wickets at an average of 35
35 ODIs - 147 runs at an average of just over 13 and 17 wickets at an average of 58 and 4.75 runs per over.
His role is a tricky one - whenever we need a spinner - Peterson is the guy we have to turn to because there aren't too many other options.
In the ODI form of the game his good fielding and all round capabilities make him a nice stop gap type of player... but the problem is he doesn't stand out.
If he can have a decent Australian tour, then it would be great!
