Not even Faf, not in 4 years time. Expect him to retire after T20WC.
Nah, the selected team doesn't have the balance, talent, age or form.

Maybe Van der Dussen as well, but I have very little faith in Miller or Duminy.

It has actually been a really good mix. Number of innings of over 300 runs but always felt the ball had a chance as well.

Speaking to Rassie and people close to him and his family. He dreamed of playing for the sky blues (Titans). Put up a note above his bed that he was going to be the best batsman in the world. Then rejection came after a good season for Northerns - the Titans still didn't contract him. Moved to North West and only 2.5 years later at 23 did he get a franchise contract with Lions. He self admitted he wasn't a schoolboy prodigy like AB and QdK but the application to be where he is now is commendable.

Rassie has impressed me far beyond what I expected.

Kuldeep has really lost control over length of late. No greater crime for a leggie.

Captain material ?

Bumrah vs De Kock was great till it lasted.

Has he captained before? Not sure of his role at the Lions? I think that it would probably be best going forward if he was just left to concentrate on his game and move on with a longer term captain. But maybe as a short temporary transition for the LO sides.

Think he shares duties with Bavuma at Lions. Not sure if he captained NW.
Want Faf to stay for Tests until the end of next summer so it would be limited overs to start but after 18-24 months need to assess whether makes 2023 so weighing those things up will have to be done.

****ing hell. It has worked so badly for me this world cup. Never praise a player from your own team
