Is it true that Fortuin is meant to be a good player? Could he be the next keeper/batsman ahead of de Kock?

Yeah, very good player. Scored against England and now here. Compact batsman and excellent keeper. Still a lot of cricket to be played by him before SA selection as he still has to get ahead of Vilas at the Cobras but who knows he could play as the batsman/keeper and Quinton may just play as an opening batsman. But like I say, a lot of cricket to be played. By Quinton as well in fact.

I would say out of the 18 year-olds (Not counting Galiem who is 16 for example) in this u19 group - Fortuin, Valli, Oldfield, Dial & Rabada are the really talented one's.

This SA u19 batch has only lost 1 game in 10 now as well. So got a good record like India.

Good to see Gumbie getting some runs earlier on in the tournament.
