Fri Feb 27 RSA 408/5 (50 ov) WI 151 (33.1 ov) Pool B, SCG, Sydney W L AB de Villiers

Everyone is running out of adjectives to describe this man's cricket at the moment. In the early part of his innings he sold the dummy by scoring a run a ball, very different from the Jo'burg innings where he bludgeoned everything from ball one. What next for AB? 200? - Sheesh.. greedy we are, aren't we?

Spare a thought for Jason Holder. We wonder what would ABD & Holder speak if they met eye to eye. Would AB say to himself, 'poor kid.. should target someone else next time' ? It is tough to be Jason Holder at the moment - Humiliated twice by the same batsman in the space of a month. Jason's first spell was a dream, the last was a nightmare. Unusual distinction earned by the Windies captain today - ended up being the topscorer for his team with both bat & ball.
