As our season grinds to a halt, it is to the South African domestic set up that I normally turn.
They start their season with a very quickfire T20 competition - every team played twice today.
Found myself watching a random game today and was impressed with Kelly Smuts. Something of a stalwart on the South African he was the main man for Eastern Province.
He was the hitter in chief for their opening victory against Boland in which he got 64 off 46 balls. He then backed that up a further 26 in the second game of the day to finish up 4th in the early highest run scorers league.
There is another full round of fixtures tomorrow.
