At the conclusion of another round in the County Championship Andrew Hall, Wayne Madsen and Dawid Malan were the big movers, reports Gareth Stevens.
Hall is the only South African all-rounder in the top 50 of both the batting and bowling lists. After another good performance for Northamptonshire he has climbed into the top 40 and 20 of the leading run scorers and wicket takers respectively.
Madsen and Malan shone with the bat this week and jumped a number of places on the run scoring charts. Malan scored a second consecutive century, improving his average to nearly 50. He now leads the way, but there are three other Saffas boasting averages in the forties.
Below are all the statistics of the Saffas playing First-class cricket in England. 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.
