Quinton de Kock says he enjoyed having to carry the Proteas on his small shoulders as he stood out like a sore thump with his inspiring performances during South Africa’s worst ever season and home summer.
“A guy like Anrich Nortje‚ all these guys‚ Temba Bavuma obviously‚ these guys know they themselves that they want that responsibility also and to be one of the best players in the world and that is what they are striving for and it is good to have that around.
“I don’t think it is healthy in a team where people are dependent on one or two players. So it’s nice to have those guys coming though to help out on occasions.” De Kock averages almost 40 in his 80 innings from 47 Test matches scoring 2‚934 runs with a best score of 129 not out. He scored most of his runs batting deep at number seven and there are those who feel he could have scored more runs had he batted up the order.“I think me and Mark Boucher have a very good relationship and we spoke about it before and we wanted to push me higher on the batting rankings but obviously with the team selections and stuff it is a little bit difficult.”
