Wonder what Mozart would say about that one - his attacks on De Kock since 2013 was numerous and his hatred of the guy complete - all because he replaced Smith in the ODI and T20 squads that year.
In his whole career as opener Smith in 196 matches managed to make 8 centuries. Thus far De Kock in 152 matches made 21 centuries - but Mozart will never admit that he is wrong in his assessment. . .
Yes de Kock appears to be more focused this season.
It is indeed a pleasure to see him at bat and at his best.
Pleased to hear that he is not only performing his bit with the bat but of the field he is also very active.
Great news and one of the greats in SA cricket.
Their is another angle to this one and that is the IPL coming up next year. De Kock is earning $11 million playing Ipl and his price may rise drastically after his performances in the pesent WC series. The same with Jansen whose income could quadrible in that sedries. As a normal cfa,ily enviroenment - he would find itg had to spent his money earned in SA.
At one stage there was a report that AB is managing his IPL income - so it must be a pretty amount he ahs in Jersey already.

"It's been so good to have 'Quinny'," said Van der Dussen.
Van der Dussen added: "The guys really feed off him. He's one of my favourite guys to bat with. He really guided me through my innings today. At times I was under pressure and I was asking him about a few options.
"He's such a cool and calm guy out there, thinks so clearly. It was just great to bat with him. But he's been brilliant in the last few weeks."
