Verreynne's century against New Zealand was in 2022. Elgar does have one, as does Bedingham.

I read a stat that we have more hundreds in the last 8 Tests than we did in the last 25 Tests. That's a big factor. Stubbs going back to back is really encouraging.

So important to have at least 2 batsmen in your top 6 to be more than just okay to good. Stubbs is our big hope right now to be at least 1 of those.

Think I mentioned it before but he reminds me of KP in some ways. Can look tall and ungainly sometimes but hits the ball at the top of the bounce, can mix timing and pure strength as well as has the reverse sweeps and sweeps.
