This Week in Cricket #87 - Dean Elgar's brave decision, Lockie Ferguson's pace and the England v West Indies lottery
This week on the show we discuss a bounce back performance by South Africa to draw the Test series with the Black Caps, then try to make sense of the upcoming England Test tour to the West Indies and recap a winning week for Auckland and Otago on the NZ domestic circuit.
There are plenty of apologies during the New Zealand v South Africa segment as we examine what changed so drastically from the first Test to the second.
Where did it go wrong for the Black Caps?
How did Dean Elgar and his side get things so right?
Who else thought Colin de Grandhomme's international career was over?
Is this a sign of things to come for South Africa?
And are NZ's dreams of retaining the World Test Championship mace all but over?
Later in the show, we briefly move away from New Zealand to discuss the upcoming West Indies v England series. We talk about our expectations for both sides, and whether there's a way back for Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson during the English home summer. And then we round things off with shout outs to a few winners on the NZ domestic circuit, with the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield and Ford Trophy seasons coming to a close, as well as recapping an impressive win for the White Ferns during the World Cup warm up matches.
