Markram has just moved above Jacques Kallis into the top 10 list for South African run-scorers in T20 internationals.
It would be ill-advised to talk of “cold statistics” ... because Aiden Markram’s are, simply, too hot. In scoring a typically bruising, cleanly-struck 56 at a strike rate of 207 against Ireland at Bristol on Wednesday, the right-handed now fixture in the No 4 berth became the first Proteas player to twice register three fifties on the trot in the landscape.
All of those figures, frankly, make it look a little unfortunate now that he only made his T20I debut aged around 24 and a half, whereas he started in Tests at 22 . Now having nosed his way into the top 10 at Kallis’s expense, Markram has a way to go to rise to the top, where JP Duminy still leads the way with 1,934 runs.
