When it comes to opening bowling pairs from say 1940 to about 1960 many talk about Lindwall and Miller, Trueman and Statham, Hall and Griffith but, what about Adcock and Heine of SA?
I actually first read about both Adcock, and Heine in a cricket magazine and it made me look for more information about Adcock, and Heine.
Of course everyone remembers Adcocok for hitting Sutcliffe of NZ on his head and as expected he was said to be quick and fearsome also what about Peter Heine? he is said to have supported Adcock well. Heine may not have been in the class of Adcock but, most of the former players who played with him or against him say that he had a never say die spirit who could bowl long spells.

"Adcock was quicker but Heine put the heat into the combination."

I'm interested. i'll look them up too first for I know next to nothing about them.
I have read that Adcock was a touch quicker than Donald and Heine was a smart bowler.
