This time last week Quinton de Kock could do no wrong. Seven days on he doesn't seem to be able to do much right. A week ago Reeza Hendricks was a fringe player in white-ball internationals. Now he seems a fixture in the T20I side. Welcome, pilgrim, to the South Africa chapters of the cricket hiker's guide to the galaxy.

De Kock's undefeated 92 in the third ODI at Headingley last Sunday reduced to an asterisk the fact that the match was washed out.
