The other really outstanding figure is the number of South Africans in both cases. The IPL has 13. It is 11.8% South African. The County Championship has 25. It is 12.6% South African. The talent and sheer determination of South Africa's peripatetic cricketers really is phenomenal. Like ant colonies, or Starbucks franchises, they just keep on popping up everywhere. It is a great achievement.
