Rudolph runs riot

Jacques Rudolph scored his sixth Test Match century of his career against New Zealand at Dunedin.  Rudolph who forced his way back into the Test side at the start of the year as opener has now established himself in the South African middle order with 105* in the 1st Test Match.  Jacques will head to the UK following the NZ series to play for Surrey before the summer Test series against England.
