every month the sample size is too small to make much out of this,

I'm biased so I'll say Ahmad Faiz. He scored 55, 111* and 109* in the recent series.

The first two were. I should know. I write for the Malaysian Cricket Association.

And U19 games aren't classified as ODIs I imagine...

Alex Hales was the first batter to score a fifty in each of the innings of a 5 match series. Gets my vote.

Matt Henry had a good series v Australia.

De-Kock for me. Scored runs at a pace against a lethal attack!

Managed not to fall over his dog.

You've got me there, Arthur?

He was injured earlier in their summer after an accident out walking with his dog.

Was the dog De-Kocking his leg?

Ha! He should have been!
