Mark Dekker was a solid top-order batsman and an excellent cover fielder who had a dramatic entry to Test cricket when, in Pakistan in 1992-93, he carried his bat at Rawalpindi in only his second match. He made a brace of 68s and featured in century partnership in each innings, but was left stranded when Zimbabwe, chasing 240, crashed from 135 for 1 to 187. Those were his only scores over fifty in his 14 Tests and his eventual average was very disappointing.
