Ali Bacher

Cricket, South Africa. Bacher captained South Africa to a 4-0 series win over Australia in 1970, just before the country's isolation. In the 1980s he organised the controversial "rebel" tours that defied the international boycott, then led the move to a single non-racial board in 1991, which brought South Africa back into world cricket, and later ran the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
