Quinton de Kock
19 years old, averaging over 60 after 12 FC games (in SA - very tough to do). Reportedly very talented.
Another future SA batting gun? Could he replace Smith as the next longterm test opener/captain?

He's played two proper franchise games in First Class cricket for 41 runs @ 14. Not saying he isn't promising - everything I've heard about it does indeed suggest he's a bit of a prodigy/gun - but lets not pretend he's been killing it a high standard First Class because he hasn't. Yet. I'll also add that he's a wicket keeper; something yet to be mentioned. More likely to be Boucher's long-term replacement than Smith's.

His name is too good not to make it.
I've always liked de Kock, you know. Of course, de Kock will have to be handled pretty well in order to get up there.

If SA want to make this relationship work, they'll have to take turns with the keeper being de Kock on occasion and the Heino on others.

He appears to be the standout in Under 19 cricket atm.
Dominated England and made two tons in the Pak/Zim tri-series, including 146 in the final. Stiff not to be replacing Boucher, obviously considered not quite up to it yet. |
