Another SA boy starts for England

Jennings did get a duck in the second innings but the point is that we are losing young talent to other countries who have not invested in them as youths . I have no idea how many young cricketers there are overseas but there are apparently around 700 rugby players playing in other countries .
yesterday we heard that there is a sevens academy that identifies young talent for the future. Why can the same not be done for the 15 man game

Out for one today....

Keaton Jennings, now averaging 23 or so after nine test innings. His First Class average of 35 when selected shows that he was just an average player in my opinion.

Naresh, I totally... I honestly have never thought he was good enough either... How he is keeping Hameed of the team boggles my mind... Hameed is a PROPER test player.

I think his dropped more catches than his scored runsB)
