Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
That was such a good shot. This series has seen de Villiers move in my estimation from "very good batsman perhaps just a tiny bit back from the leading pack" to "genuine contender for the title of world's best batsman". I never quite bought into the downhill skier thing as much as to say he only ever scored runs in meaningless situations, but I did think the sheer amount of easy situations he had to bat in recently inflated his recent average a little bit; he's all class though. Absolute walk up start for my World XI now even if I don't give him the gloves.
Don't agree

Comfortably the best bat in the world for mine and has been for some time

Compare him to Clarke for example - more runs, more time, better technique

Oh, top bowling this by Harris. In a way that's too bad, as this match, imho, could use more South African runs.

This might be the day Harris gets the reward for how well he's bowled since July last year. Deserves a bag full.
Think he has been a bit off colour for the last little while or so tbh. He's definitely back to his best here though.

Too late fellas.

To think, there were people who seriously wanted to rest Harris this game.



You tell him to have a spell.

That session has established Aus as the only team that can win this game. If they can bowl out SA for about 250 an hour or so out from close today, then have a dash for maybe 30 overs, you think they would have enough time to force the win.

It would have been good if early in ABDV's career someone made an excellent thread detailing how he wasn't a fan of making ducks.
