The South Africa wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock has retired from Test cricket with immediate effect.
The shock announcement from the 29-year-old came on the day the Proteas suffered a 113-run defeat to India in the first Test at Centurion and comes during a controversial year for the player, who apologised after refusing to take a knee during the World Twenty20 tournament.

De Kock said he wanted to spend more time with his family – with his wife expecting the birth of their first-born child in the coming days – but the decision was still a surprise given CSA had agreed to give him time off for the rest of the three-match Test series to attend the birth..

That seems the bigger factor

Yes, the failure of any of their batsmen to reach 50 in either innings
was striking. That must be quite rare.

Assuming you consider 3 times a year to be rare. Since the beginning
of 2011, yesterday registered the 34th instance. (In one case, Sri
Lanka only lost 6 wickets in the second innings before winning.)

Cheers,

"I'm afraid the patient is too far gone, nurse..Hmmm...we might try a full frontal lobotomy , nurse, but it could leave the fellow verging on vegetable status ... " RH

There's no nuance to your position here RH.

If you were a Test captain, starting day 5 at 0/0, chasing 400... what would you tell your batsman to do?
You'd tell them to bat for the draw.
You'd tell them to "shut up shop".
That would result in a low scoring rate. Would that low scoring rate be good for the batsmen or the bowlers?
