Jacques Rudolph scored his third century of the Royal London One-Day Cup to cement his spot at 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 have experienced negligible change, but there has been some movement on the 50-over tables.
The standout performer is unquestionably Rudolph. His career best 169 not out off 150 deliveries led Glamorgan’s successful chase of 329 against Sussex at Hove. It was the highest score in List-A matches by a Glamorgan batsman, eclipsing Sir Viv Richards’ 162 against Oxfordshire in 1992.
Wayne Madsen, Colin Ingram and Richard Levi have also looked good at the crease. They all average comfortably north of 40 and their clubs will hope that they can carry their form into the knockout fixtures.
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.
