00:00
261 for three South Africa they've just lost Alviro Pietersen
00:07
and in walks South Africa's vice-captain
00:12
AB de Villiers
00:14
27 years old very talented
00:18
started off shaky or had a shaky
00:22
period in his career he
00:24
dropped down that's why the ball went airborne into the covers for the first 20 meters
00:29
straight to the field unfortunately for him and he was on his way
00:37
yeah I have to credit the bowler
00:40
it's bowled well there
00:45
in the right area and you want with the slower ball for
00:49
the ball to be at just outside the off stump not too straight
00:53
and Pietersen would have felt having played so well that he could play the drive
01:04
and feeling that he can play the drive by the time he realized that
01:08
hold on this is not quite getting to me it was too late
01:12
and he tried as hard as he could to adjust
01:16
but
01:24
he's off the mark
01:27
and he gets going with a four
01:31
as de Villiers gets going this one
01:34
was a bit more width
01:36
very strong through the offside is AB de Villiers
01:39
really using his feet movement there
01:42
his hands are good enough to guard it square of gully
01:46
he gets off the mark with a boundary
01:48
it's nice and straight it's a punch it's a beautiful shot
01:52
short boundary straight you can make that boundary
01:55
nice control that's been a feature of the performance of South Africa today their control
02:00
283 car went right through him
02:06
it's a good shot by AB de Villiers
02:09
and a chase for Wille Geddere
02:14
gets it before it
02:16
crosses the rope
02:19
yeah the demands on the body well
02:22
extreme
02:24
in a cricketing sense obviously
02:33
down the ground for four
02:35
it was a full toss
02:37
and AB de Villiers
02:39
accepted it with glee
02:42
what a way to bring up the 50
02:44
what a way to bring up the 50 partnership
02:47
South Africa 313 for three
02:51
52 runs between de Villiers and Cullis
02:56
good partnership developing
03:01
this is the last delivery of the previous over
03:04
very friendly full toss AB de Villiers he won't miss out on that
03:08
he's concerned I think there's no doubt
03:14
he won't get an argument from me there
03:17
I'd have to agree with you on that one
03:20
never one for really comparing eras because each era presents a different challenge
03:26
and if you can make it in the one year chances are that you would have made it in another one as well so
03:31
that is how it works out but
03:37
that before
03:39
good shot
03:41
that before
03:43
good shot
03:46
superb way to end the over two
03:49
AB de Villiers
03:51
particularly on a flat surface
03:55
four to de Villiers wide of mid-arm
04:04
two full and two straight here from Matthews easy pickings for de Villiers
04:08
he moves to 44
04:10
looking very comfortable
04:12
very strong to this area
04:14
could pick his spot wherever he wanted to try and hit that
04:17
was full enough
04:19
and he's cashed in
04:25
and a run away for four
04:28
de Villiers sometimes confuses me as to whether he's played that deliberately
04:32
he does play the ball very late
04:35
and does sometimes angle the bat
04:37
I'll be interested to see whether this goes off more of a face or more of the edge
04:43
half and half I guess
04:45
nicely done
04:47
main thing was it went in the gap
04:51
and it wasn't in the air for long so off a thick outside edge
04:55
no third man in position
04:57
so AB de Villiers need just the one
05:00
for a well-deserved half century
05:08
50 number 28 for AB de Villiers in Test cricket
05:13
played nicely
05:14
reasonably subdued
05:15
supportive
05:17
of Jacques Callas
05:19
along with a few beautiful strokes
05:23
played very well in the first Test match when he got 99
05:26
on a difficult surface
05:28
played well in the second half
05:31
and he's got a chance
05:32
played very well in the first Test match when he got 99
05:34
on a difficult surface
05:36
played well in the second innings in Durban as well
05:39
and following on from that
05:41
continuing the good work
05:48
very good record averaging 48 now
05:52
12 centuries to his name as well
05:54
so he's developed very well
05:58
movement
05:59
need to try and use that
06:01
found the edges like they have on that occasion
06:03
Villiers we saw an edge from the other over
06:05
went for four another boundary
06:07
an edge induced shot
06:10
so that was what I would be discussing with my bowlers
06:13
that's the kind of lines and lengths you've got to bowl
06:15
you've got to try and induce those edges
06:17
hopefully make a breakthrough and then maybe
06:21
there's a couple here
06:23
might even go for four
06:24
this outfield is beautifully slick
06:27
what a good shot that was
06:29
goodness me
06:30
that was quality
06:31
very difficult shot to play
06:33
the back foot drive on the onside
06:36
you have to be
06:38
extremely talented
06:39
to be able to play a shot like this
06:42
and Aby de Villiers well he played it to perfection
06:45
let's have a look at this one
06:46
plays it very late and places it
06:48
and times it superbly
06:57
just a picture perfect day at the moment
06:58
particularly if you happen to be Jacques Collas
06:59
looking at the scoreboard
07:02
whipped away on the leg side
07:03
that's a very clever shot
07:08
that's class
07:10
from Aby de Villiers
07:14
the difficulty of this stroke
07:18
Matthews doesn't have a great deal of pace
07:20
so de Villiers can get across onto off stump
07:24
to hit it from that wide of off stump
07:26
through mid wicket
07:27
that well
07:28
well that takes some skill
07:30
that's a wonderful shot
07:33
wow
07:36
he was offered a scholarship to play tennis
07:39
in the States as a young kid
07:43
cross-court forehand
07:47
oh that's nicely played
07:48
that is middle of the back
07:52
very cleverly played
07:57
the shot is a good one
08:00
but at 457 for 4
08:03
still finding it very peculiar
08:05
that the Sri Lankan captain refuses to have a third man in place
08:18
another cleverly played shot by de Villiers
08:23
let's get a couple this time
08:27
and the game of cricket went on around the bird's nest
08:35
put two bricks around it
08:38
mum got a bit irritated while we were doing that
08:46
he virtually lets it run off the face of the bat
08:48
and said don't try
08:51
he is a rare talent A.B. de Villiers
08:59
his 13th Test 100
09:01
and it's been an absolute beauty
09:07
there'll be a tight bunch up there
09:08
they've done a lot of clapping
09:17
plenty of good shots
09:19
just like we saw from all the other batsmen
09:21
down the ground
09:22
very strong indeed
09:24
A.B. de Villiers
09:25
that was initially in his innings
09:31
that was the best of the lot
09:32
back foot drive on the onside
09:37
when you start playing shots like that
09:39
means you've seen it very well
09:45
going over the top this time
09:47
and he's hit that well
09:50
stepping on the gas now A.B. de Villiers
10:00
your friendly pace
10:03
right in the slot
10:04
what South Africa must do right now
10:06
is put the accelerator on
10:08
just to make Sri Lanka feel uncomfortable
10:12
but they would be happy
10:14
to be out there and let South Africa bat
10:16
as long as possible
10:17
and take time out of the game
10:21
it's doing something different
10:22
and showing intent is very important
10:24
in pushing Sri Lanka back further
10:46
oh that's loose
10:47
and it's been put away comfortably
10:55
it's not going to need too many invitations
10:57
for that sort of bowling Russell
10:59
oh but he created it by going across
11:02
seeing those times try to hit them
11:07
that's what I mean
11:08
he's been playing his options very well
11:10
right throughout these innings
11:11
the commentator box with us
11:12
is the third commentator
11:16
he's got that away
11:17
over the top for four
11:24
that wasn't Rudolph
11:27
that was de Villiers
11:28
playing the reverse sweep
11:30
playing it online
11:31
as soon as he saw it outside the stumps
11:33
the field heavily set on the outside
11:36
he's looking for boundaries
11:38
who would have thought years ago
11:39
he'd be seeing that sort of shot
11:40
in test matches
11:42
sweet
11:44
Russell you would have
11:45
applied against Fulbang I guess
11:47
in your career
11:50
oh yes I have
11:52
and?
11:53
sweet everything
11:54
you don't know what's coming
11:58
yeah and
11:59
oh either hit it back at him
12:00
because he used to look down all the time
12:02
I don't know whether
12:03
how good he was taking return catches
12:04
have you ever caught any?
12:06
that's when I fully act
12:07
the loud derping Fulbang
12:08
always gets back into my hands
12:10
Sri Lankans
12:15
he's had a dip at that one
12:16
he's hit it far enough too
12:17
it's gone for half a dozen runs
12:19
you cannot fault the intent
12:21
from these two guys
12:22
at the moment they're doing
12:23
a terrific job for their team
12:28
there's a fielder in the deep
12:31
that's the confidence
12:32
A.B. de Villiers has
12:37
oh I think it might have been caught
12:39
actually
12:42
it's gone again this time
12:43
has he hit it far enough again
12:46
it's a couple of big ones
12:48
in a row
12:54
unbelievable stuff
12:56
from A.B. de Villiers
12:57
he's doing it with ease
12:59
and he's just happy
13:00
to hit the top of the fielder's heads
13:02
he's not looking for gaps
13:07
Fultos this time
13:08
he's going to try and scramble back
13:09
for the second
13:10
if he wants to, no
13:11
decides he's just going to
13:12
take a bit of a breather
13:13
down the non-strikers end
13:20
first six of this over
13:21
excited one or two in the crowd
13:24
bit of a bobble
13:25
oh has he got
13:26
someone to grab that in the end
13:28
I think it's about five grabs
13:29
yes good take, well taken
13:31
what a fine catch
13:36
in the air
13:37
in the gap for four
13:40
a slap from A.B. de Villiers
13:46
good way to end the over
13:47
5.60 for four
13:53
gives himself room
13:54
and opens up the offside
13:56
times it well enough
13:57
to get four more
13:59
A.B. de Villiers
14:01
passing like a dream
14:05
5.67 for four
14:07
and now
14:25
and now 250
14:28
for A.B. de Villiers
14:31
202 balls
14:33
he's sped up
14:34
since reaching 100
14:38
he's a special player
14:39
A.B. de Villiers
14:41
and great to watch
14:43
certainly has been
14:44
in this particular innings
14:48
17.4
14:49
was in two sixes
14:50
when he has sped things up
14:52
since he got over his century
14:54
there's his test average
14:56
heading closer towards 50
14:57
it'll be an aim of his to try
14:59
that might be
15:01
that's excessive
15:03
it won't take too long
15:04
the way de Villiers is going
15:05
he's just crashed
15:06
as he's moved the outside
15:07
off stump
15:08
de Villiers tried to follow
15:09
and adjust his line
15:11
A.B. de Villiers more than equal
15:12
to the top
15:13
slaps it in front of square
15:14
on the offside
15:15
for another boundary
15:17
the timing on this shot
15:19
brilliant
15:22
right off the middle of
15:24
the bat
15:25
and then it's the placement
15:26
next
15:27
there's a man sweeping
15:28
on the offside
15:29
can't get there
15:30
has to run probably
15:31
about 15
15:33
meters
15:35
still doesn't get there
15:38
for the leg
15:40
cut a slow ball
15:48
full toss
15:50
and yep that batting
15:51
the way both are batting
15:56
strongly suggests
15:58
to us that it's
15:59
about that time
16:00
where the skipper is going
16:01
to come outside
16:02
and say righto
16:04
come on and change
16:06
the batting is heading
16:07
towards bludgeoning
16:08
at this stage
16:10
De Villiers moving around
16:11
the crease
16:12
trying to free up
16:13
different angles
16:14
for him to find boundaries
16:20
in the air
16:21
over cover
16:22
off the back foot
16:23
for four
16:25
fantastic stuff
16:26
from A.B. de Villiers
16:27
he's calling them in
16:29
Graham Smith says
16:30
that's enough
16:31
he could go on watching it
16:32
for a long time
16:33
with de Villiers
16:34
playing like this
16:35
but South Africa
16:36
have enough on the board
16:37
so their skipper
16:38
thinks
16:39
applause
16:41
from the Newlands
16:42
faithful
16:44
for a batting
16:45
performance
16:48
that has been
16:49
absolutely brilliant
16:50
from South Africa
16:52
in hard work
16:53
for the Sri Lankans
16:54
there's no doubt
16:55
about that
16:56
but the locals
16:57
here in Cape Town
16:58
have enjoyed every minute
16:59
of today
17:00
the local hero
17:01
Jacques Kellis
17:02
out towards 200
17:04
and now A.B. de Villiers
17:05
has entertained them
17:06
with a wonderful 160
17:09
Jacques Rudolph
17:10
not out in 51
17:12
a lot to ponder
17:13
for the Sri Lankan
17:14
coaching staff
17:15
a lot to do
17:16
they're behind the 8 ball
17:18
and South Africa
17:19
will be
17:20
charging in at them
17:21
that's what the Sri Lankans
17:22
have called for
17:23
the small roller
17:24
they don't want
17:25
the heavy one
17:26
they want to break up the pitch
17:27
they want to use
17:28
as little assistance
17:29
in that department
17:30
as possible
17:33
a look at the batting
17:35
card then
17:36
and a reminder
17:37
that it was Sri Lanka
17:38
who won the toss
17:39
and decided that
17:40
they would bowl first
17:42
South Africa
17:43
with
17:44
Peterson
17:45
109
17:46
Kellis
17:47
224
17:48
de Villiers
17:49
160
17:50
not out
17:51
and Rudolph
17:52
51 not out
17:54
got 580
17:55
for 4
17:56
and declared
17:58
as a look at the
17:59
partnerships
18:00
205
18:01
192
18:03
and 127
18:04
unbroken
18:06
fantastic stuff
