00:00Makaya Antini made his Test debut for South Africa against Sri Lanka in 1998 at Newlands

00:06Cape Town.

00:07At the time, Antini was only 20 years old and relatively inexperienced at the international

00:13level.

00:14His selection itself was historic as he became the first black African cricketer to represent

00:20South Africa in Test cricket, marking a major milestone in the country's sporting history.

00:26In the match, Antini bowled with raw pace and visible enthusiasm, although he did not produce

00:31a dramatic pick at all.

00:33But he managed to pick the great Sri Lankan pastman Arvinda De Silva, showing glimpse of

00:38his potential.

00:39Let's watch his ODI debut performance.

00:56This must be a good, a relieving moment for him after going for the great Arvinda De Silva.

01:03This must be a good, a relieving moment for him after going for the great Arvinda De Silva.

01:21This must be a good, a relieving moment for him after going for a number of runs on all

01:28the shorts.

01:29Debutant, Antini, one day international for South Africa on the Tour to Australia.

01:35This is his first Test match for 440.

01:42So a great moment for 20-year-old Antini on the border.

01:46His first Test match and a rousing welcome from the crowd.

01:51Antini decides that he's going to open his shoulders.

01:56He didn't quite connect it, but he gets two runs, his first runs in Test match cricket.

02:03And the way those runs are received, one would have thought he would have...

02:07Makai Antini line and length improved as the match progressed, and he demonstrated the

02:13ability to trouble batters with bounce and movement, especially on the lively Newlands offices.

02:19Sri Lanka were a competitive side at that time, featuring experienced batters, and Antini's

02:24performance was watched closely.

02:27While his figures were modest, his energy, athletic run-up, and fighting spirit stood

02:32out.

02:33He bowled with courage even when runs came and did not shy away from attacking the batters,

02:38an attitude that later became a hallmark of his career.

02:42South Africa went on to win the Test match, and although Antini was not the headline performer,

02:47his debut laid the foundation for a remarkable journey.

02:51Over the time, he refined his control, swing, and stamina, eventually becoming one of the

02:56South Africa's most successful Test fastballers, finishing his career with 390 test figures.

03:02His debut against Sri Lanka in 1998 remains an important starting point in a legendary career.
