Jordan Hermann equals Matthew Breetzke’s ODI debut record against Namibia
Proteas ODI debutant Jordan Hermann fell just short of breaking the ODI record for most runs scored by a player in their first international match, when he was removed for an impressive 150 in the opening ODI between the Proteas and Namibia in Windhoek on Wednesday.
The new record was then in major danger of being passed not even two years later, by a fellow South African, only for Hermann to slip up and fall softly with the outright record in his grasp, for 150 off 126 balls, having hit 17 fours and three sixes.
