Yes should get him atleast two more games .if Livingstone comes back his spot becomes vulnerable. But should surely get minimum of two more games

Massive achievement. In a situation where he had so many deliveries to settle he managed to get going. That's who he has always been. Did Price, BT or Taibu play more than 5 games?

BT never played. Price played one game and Taibu played 3 games.

I hope this opens the door for a few more Zimbabwean players. Blessing for one absolutely has a realistic chance of getting picked. With due respect the likes of Riley Meredith, Duan Jansen, Naveen ul Haq, to name a few are not necessarily better than Blessing.

Duan Jansen is there because of his second name and that's it. He isn't ever going to play for South Africa nor South Africa A'.

There's a few names there this year which I don't think massively deserve to be. Cameron Green is a surprise pick for me

Green is definitely not a surprise pick for me. After two good showings against India, and the hype that has been around him his entire career, a team was bound to pick him up. I just didn't expect it'd be for a record total.

Yes, Green has been picked for too high a price, I'm still OK with him getting picked but not for a record breaking kind of price, on top of that MI aren't even utilizing him at the top of the order. He is barely getting 8-10 balls to bat and is hardly bowling a couple of overs. You'd think for someone picked at such a high price, the franchise would want him to do more.

Sam Curran and Harry Brook are living up to their billing. Punjab are a good franchise actually, I've seen them utilize foreign players very well, much better than others, same with SRH, in fact SRH has always been more about foreign players than local ones.
