The name Jean-Paul would have made reminded even the most ardent cricket lover of Sartre: JP Duminy changed that, especially after the role he played in the record chase at WACA (where South Africa had chased down a nigh-impossible 414) and the MCG epic in his first two Tests.
South Africa were reduced to 184 for seven following Australia’s 394; Duminy added 67 with Paul Harris and a mammoth 180 with Dale Steyn, and was last out for 166 as South Africa managed a 65-run lead. They won by nine wickets, and Australia’s home fortress was conquered.
Duminy lost his track thereafter, and found himself out of the Test side more often than in. An excellent 123 at St George’s Park in 2013-14 helped him find a place back; always an underrated bowler, he played as the lone spinner in the next Test and returned a four-wicket haul. The performances may have helped him to cement a spot.
South Africa’s exceptionally strong batting line-up had prevented Duminy from being a permanent fixture in the Test side. Then Greaeme Smith and Jacques Kallis both retired, while AB de Villiers picked up a sustained injury. Duminy got an extended run in 2016-17: he grabbed the opportunity with both hands, with 88 against New Zealand, 63 and 155 against Sri Lanka, and a decisive 4 for 47 on a Day One wicket at Basin Reserve.
While Duminy’s Test form had wavered, he became a strong force to contend with in the shorter versions with his explosive strokeplay, his ability to pull off close chases, and slow, accurate off-breaks. Never did his bowling become as fruitful as the 2015 World Cup quarter-final against Sri Lanka, where he became the second South African to take an ODI hat-trick. He is also an outstanding fielder in the 30-yard circle.
An asset in T20 cricket, he has played for four IPL franchises.
