De Villiers wants that MoTM.

I was going to post that.

Anyway. He is in form!

Agreed.. it's bad enough in the politics threads. Let's keep that **** out of here.

AB looks a scary mother****er. This is not an easy pitch to bat on yet he's going about it like it's a hit at the local park.

It sounds cliche but he said going into this season he feels as good as he ever has.

Watching him at the stadium on day 1 in that rain truncated match in Bangalore in 2015 was amazing.

Only one man has retired in the 9000s in test cricket and that was Graeme Smith.

Hashim Amla 8859
Abraham de Villiers 8552

Will they get to 10 000 ?

I hope so....

 

[ajdude]

50 test wickets for cummins, another 162 to overtake NUFAN's boi

 

[SeamUp]

I hope so....

Wonder if it will require some post WC tests

 

[ajdude]

imagine another 50 runs on the board

 

[Spark]

omg a bowler actually got him out

 

[SeamUp]

Does Theunis still have the shits ?

Probably... if we can get ABdV to play until 36 it will be great.

And an Aus bowler gets him at last!

 

[stephen]

There are some batsmen who look impossible to dismiss when they get set. Then there is AB de Villiers who not only doesn't look like getting out but who looks like he's going to smash you for six every ball without breaking a sweat. That guy had a hard on for scoring runs against Australia.

 

[GotSpin]

Shame our tail didn't wag more

 

[stephen]

And just as I song his praises...

Australia needs a starc 5/1 special here.

i mean what they needed was 320-odd in the first innings

Or to restrict SA to 310 in the first innings.

 

[StephenZA]

Well done SA, fantastic from Rabada and de Villiers. And another win at PE, been pretty good for the last few years.... maybe get some more test matches?

 

[SeamUp]

Good positive finish by de Bruyn.

I don't think we can afford to throw him and Bavuma to the heap but no doubt still need some developing to become top standard batsman to be in a side at the top of the table.
