Jacques Rudolph scored his second century of the Royal London One-Day Cup to jump up to the top of the run-scoring leaderboard, reports Gareth Stevens.
The County Championship has taken a backseat with the limited overs competition in the spotlight. As a result, the stats for the longer format are unchanged, but there has been some movement on the 50-over tables.
The standout performer is unquestionably Rudolph, whose presence at the top of Glamorgan’s order has made the Welsh side a formidable unit. In a format all about runs, there are a further six South Africans averaging above 40.
Below are all the statistics of the Saffas playing First-class cricket in England, followed by a similar list that covers List-A performances. The number next to the player’s name is the position on the leading run-scorers and wicket-takers list for their respective leagues. This gives an indication of how they have fared compared to everybody else. If there is no number then they are not currently in the top 50.
