With everyone's eyes on test cricket at the present time, consideration has gone to the Dark Cap's forthcoming series against South Africa. "We're here to do our business, we're here to play cricket, and we're here to win," said Proteas paceman Duane Olliver.
Olliver is one of the more experienced players in the visiting crew — which has been generally reprimanded for being "unpracticed", "understrength" and a "C side". The test side to play New Zealand has 300 less covers than its customary group, with numerous players remaining behind to play in the homegrown T20 association.
Be that as it may, for two test player David Bedingham, test cricket is the zenith. "Our mentor called me and said assuming that I removed my name from the SA20 draft, I'd visit New Zealand, and my fantasy is consistently to play test cricket for South Africa," he said.
"I think it is for the vast majority. I simply think when 1,000,000 bucks comes your direction, it's a difficult choice." Publicity is solidly fixed on the red ball design, which got a jolt after the West Indies' new notable series-evening out triumph over Australia — they're first on Aussie soil beginning around 1997.
"We played against a great deal of the folks in the West Indies A side who played in that match against Australia, so it was very cool to see them do well because we really beat them," said Bedingham.
"On the off chance that they can take down Australia with that group, I'm certain we can cause a steamed against New Zealand too." Their three-day warm-up match against New Zealand A completions in Lincoln in Wednesday before the group moves to Mount Maunganui in front of the initial test Under control Oval on Sunday.
