Hugh Joseph Tayfield was a South African international cricketer who played 37 Test matches for South Africa between '49 and '60 and is considered one of the best off spinners the game has ever seen.  He was also the fastest South African to take 100 wickets in Tests until Dale Steyn claimed the record.  We talk about his cricketing career, his achievements, the very unorthodox field placings he used, and why he's considered their greatest tweaker.  Enjoy!
