Ya Pretorius is the one setting it alight in SA. I don't think the other youngsters are even in a squad.

He looks about 30 :lol:
I dunno what nick he's going to be in when he's older. A lot of these Afrikaans guys are prone to fatness and he's started early. He's in shocking shape for his age, looks like a prop.
He's a helluva talent.

We should play our domestic T20's almost pre-season to give our players an opportunity to get noticed for these leagues. We play it at the end when all cricket is finished. Nobody is going to remember any good performances from the previous season.
The only chance they have to get noticed is in the T10 where the owners rarely bat our guys up the order and the few guys that got the opportunity bottled it. Those guys that did get opportunity were put there by ZC, not the owners.

I've not seen a lot of Matty Campbell. Is he technically better than his brother? Jonno Campbell is very wristy and is an excellent player square of the wicket. Has a lot of moving parts though..

Gone for 122. Brilliant batting. Nice to have these new lads coming in and scoring hundreds. All they can do face whats thrown at them. Keep it up
He white though

He's more orthodox but more limited.

Higgins picking up wickets with some body line tactics was not really on the bingo card for his spell at Rocks... nonetheless, that's what we have.

He would be such an asset as a 3rd/4th seamer, and 5/6 bat. Better batter and bowler than the seam-bowling allrounder competition, which amounts to Jongwe, Mashinge, Evans and Faraz.
