Stephen Cook

ANALYSIS
Cook keeps putting the pressure on the South African selectors with his performances with the A squad. Captaining the second-choice side, Cook has looked the part of Test opener, scoring 218 runs in the first innings of the first two matches of the series. While he's nearing 35-years-old, with South Africa in dire need of a solid opener, they could turn back to Cook who had three centuries and two half-centuries in his spell with the Test squad. Furthermore, he's one of the most accomplished domestic first-class batsmen, with 41 centuries and 54 half-centuries in 198 first-class matches.
