(Picture: Getty Images)It is fitting that as this series arrives in Kimberley, home to one of the world’s most historic diamond mines, England’s major find thus far has been the middle-over prowess of Olly Stone.
While Jofra Archer’s long-awaited comeback dominated the build-up to England’s tour of South Africa, it has been Stone’s performances in the first two one-day internationals that have quietly impressed since, the bowler making timely breakthroughs with a wicket in his first over in both matches and touching speeds of 90mph.
