PROTEAS tour New Zealand 2022 Test Series

The test series between New Zealand and the Proteas has ended in a 1-1 draw and left both teams well placed in the world test championship. Proteas have a 60% win percentage after 5 tests and New Zealand 46.66% win percentage after 6 tests.

Proteas made a good comeback in the 2nd test after a very disappointing performance in the 1st test. They were caught off guard against the moving ball in the 1st test and failed to make the right adjustments to tackle the conditions to put up a fight with the bat in hand. With the ball, their bowlers struggled and Rabada, Jansen were left with all the work to do as Stuurman and Oliver failed to provide good support.

Proteas made the needed adjustments and come back with an excellent performance in the 2nd test as they levelled the series 1-1 to keep their proud record of never losing a test series to New Zealand still in tacked.

There were opportunities provided to players on both sides as key players were missing and also retirements of key players. Kyle Verreynne and Sarel Erwee for Proteas and Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell and De Grandhomme for New Zealand. These are players who are yet to establish themselves in their respective test sides. They took their opportunities and sent a statement that they can be relied on to perform and win matches for their teams.

The series as a whole was very interesting to watch as New Zealand from dominating the 1st test went to struggling in the 2nd test as these 2 cricketing Giants put up a spectacle for fans to watch.

Hope to see some more good test cricket in the days to come as some very interesting series get started and the world test championship intensifies.
