Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ackerman made his debut in the home series against Pakistan in 1998, he scored a steady 57 in his first innings. However, he was found wanting against spin bowling. Musthaq Ahmed and Muralitharan made life difficult for him in the 4 Tests he played. In 2005, he signed up for Leicestershire and was made captain as well but the extra responsibility had an effect on his batting. The team management then relieved him of the duties in 2006 and the move paid rich dividends as he scored 1800 runs in the County Championship, which also included his highest score of 309 not-out.
Ackerman after hanging up his boots took on the role of TV commentator and recently covered the Indian Premier League.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A highly talented top-order batsman at Western Province, Ackerman showed his ability to dominate a bowling attack early on, but also developed a reputation for throwing his wicket away when just getting set. A tour of the England with South Africa A, on the back of a good 1995-96 domestic season, saw him mature and he won his Test call-up in the home series against Pakistan in 1997-98. He was given a good run in the side - two Tests against Pakistan were followed by two against Sri Lanka - but he failed to turn potential into runs and was dropped. He remained on the fringes of selection - in 2001 he was drafted into the squad in Zimbabwe - without getting another chance. At the end of the 2002-03 season he moved to Gauteng where he was appointed captain (he had already led Western Province) before surprisingly resigning early in the 2004-05 season. He opted to leave South Africa behind and headed to England as a Kolpak player after being offered the captaincy of Leicestershire. However, is form with the bat suffered and in 2006 he moved back into the ranks as Jeremy Snape took charge and the decision quickly paid off as he smashed over 1800 runs in the Championship, including a career-best 309 not out.
