Devon Conway Finding his Place
In 2017 Devon Conway left South Africa for New Zealand, he needed a fresh start from everything. Though he knew that he belonged on the cricket field, for most of his career in South Africa, it did not feel like that. His love for the sport was waning. He needed to rediscover himself and fall in love with cricket all over again. It happened when he was playing club cricket and coaching primary school kids in New Zealand.
In June 2021 he scored 200 runs on his Test debut for New Zealand. He felt at home.

Alviro Petersen: Competing with the best
As a cricketer, Alviro Petersen always had one goal, and that was not to become the best opener or one of the best openers in South African cricket. He had bigger dreams, he wanted to be one of the best batters in South African cricket. It is a mindset that served him well through a career with lots of ups and downs.
We talk about his century on debut, his journey as a cricketer and life after cricket.

Steven Cook Claiming his Spot in History
Being Jimmy Cook's son was great, because he was a great father and it's always nice to have a personal coach in Jimmy Cook to help you find your path in the game. But, in the professional arena, it had its own issues when it came to Stephen Cook. His career seemed to be overshadowed by his father's. It looked as if he was destined to be 'Stephen Cook, Jimmy Cook's son', and never just Stephen Cook the cricketer.
In January 2016, Stephen Cook claimed his spot in international cricket and cricket history with a century on his Test debut.
