*Official* 2024 South Africa tour of New Zealand: 2 tests

State Captain
“Give me the test captaincy or I’m quitting”

Would NZC fold to that kind of shocking ultimatum? It would set a dangerous precedent if any player is allowed to behave like that, effectively carrying out a coup against the existing captain.

How good is de Swardt at franchise level? I know he got a meme dismissal but if he can score the runs he's a good package.

When I saw his batting average of 45 I was genuinely surprised but then figured, without bothering to look it up, it'd be from their second tier comp?

Otherwise they've found South Africa's answer to New Zealand's Zimbabwean Colin de grandhomme

I feel like, even though he's been good for a couple years, Matt Henry has finally cracked test cricket. Averages 26.40 since the start of 2021. Looks comfortable at this level and not perpetually defeated or on the verge of losing it.

And sneakily averaging almost 27 with the bat during that same period too.

After we were all initial believers, Henry had to get repeatedly pummeled in his rare test cricket opportunities over several years, again and again and again, and wait until every last one of us had lost all faith in him, before he managed to turn it around. It's pretty impressive tbh. A more pronounced hype cycle than most.

Is will young the Matt Henry of batting? His second coming will be katich-esque imo

Granted I didn't watch all his overs yesterday but I hope Santner drops it in shorter today. Felt like the South Africans smothered his full deliveries with ease yesterday.
