00:00Oh
00:05Maybe the village off the mark
00:09They'll be caught back in the comm box excited Ian Bishop
00:19Very good right
00:25D2 having started slowing to be tight
00:27To stop them do it
00:32Because bowlers don't like they don't like getting picked
00:39The only explanation I suppose I'd go
00:46No place on it
00:57Good shot by de Villiers overpitched and this should go to the boundary
01:07Quality have been too full and he's bowled a no ball
01:13Ability just to pick up a single he gets a bad believer you can put it away. It's a low full toss
01:18Gave himself a little room
01:20Looking to target the offside
01:22Oh
01:25Brilliantly played
01:29Abdi Villiers is now getting into overdrive and a Chris Gale is on the floor
01:36It's a little bit ominous when he's starting to find his feet
01:45This is getting inventive
01:52Sweet sweet sweetly timed
02:01The hallmark of a quality high-quality batsman Abdi Villiers
02:04This also brings up a hundred partnership between these two it's come from just 63 deliveries the whole way
02:12This one's placed perfectly. That'll be another boundary
02:16So Abdi Villiers is really coming into a zone now
02:19They're transcending the conditions
02:23This is a massive over
02:25And it's 54 de Villiers the South African captain
02:29And he's stamping his authority on the innings
02:32And 50 comes up just 30 balls five fours in the six of over
02:38Looks like there'll be another two
02:40Nice shot four more
02:52This is a demolition of the bowling in the last 45 minutes or so
03:01You've got to take the hat to the quality of his batsmanship
03:04269 foot foot I need to get a little bit fuller so what does he do advances down the wicket and takes advantage of a slot here
03:15Let's hit the gap there to Dwayne Smith gives up the chaser
03:20The weather they started bowling
03:23And four men back remember and he can pick a gap and he'll hit it well, I don't know about nine times out of ten but
03:34Now he goes over them to a put there and he just chips it over them
03:39You feel for the bowler you feel for the captain
03:46We've been watching time
03:58Just so far
04:00What about that?
04:02We live in a modern age
04:04A modern age of invention and brilliance
04:06And at times disbelief
04:08It's a good catch by the way
04:10This is incredible
04:12Outside off stamp
04:14Bethany on the ground
04:162.25
04:182.2 I should say
04:20Unbelievable
04:22It's just unbelievable
04:24Even with one hand
04:2648 balls
04:28O'Brien
04:30O'Brien
04:32He's got all of it
04:34They make it 51
04:36O'99 he's gone to 51 balls
04:38Yes
04:40Yes a 52 ball 100 for Abidemiliers
04:44It comes up in staggering style
04:48It's the second fastest 100 in the history of the World Cup
04:52Incredible, well there is absolutely outstanding running by
04:56the South African Cap Abidemiliers
04:58Incredible, well there, absolutely, absolutely outstanding landing by the South African captain David Villiers.
05:05Look at the shot again, in his arc and straight over Miron.
05:12He just held his pose like a golfer, he taps his chest, his country is in his heart, the World Cup's in his heart.
05:20It's a free hit, that was a no ball called. Great achievement.
05:26No, AB, and it's another no ball call, it's another free hit. We have carnage and chaos all at the same time.
05:38We see that shot again, he's done it so many times coming out.
05:41He's going to where the ball will be. Oh my goodness. It's raining boundaries at the Sydney Green Ground.
05:5050's come up, there's still two overs left after this one, but Holder still has to negotiate three balls in this over.
05:55It's over.
05:57What a strike rate it is in the last five overs. It never reverses it. It reverses a quick bowler.
06:04We've seen it so many times, it's incredible. It's not too reverse it as well.
06:11It's high, it's Solomon Ben, and it's dropped.
06:20Against West Indies in 2006. Go get that somebody.
06:26But not somebody in the room, somebody in casual gear in the crowd.
06:35We see the shot again of his, could have we seen that arc of his again.
06:39You just can't bowl here to the Williams at this stage of the game.
06:42There's a man back. And he drops it. Not easy actually.
06:54Counts as a four.
06:56From Kip, no one dangerous way and action shots heιination off his again.
07:08Erin, line?
07:09Red and thirty two.
07:11And it's not often that he's got one ugly like that.
07:15I used to say there's no need to chase that.
07:26You don't have a good eye, haven't you?
07:31Keep nailing these.
07:34Give him that a crunch.
07:36What a cracking stroke too.
07:45Well, that terrific blow of mid-wicket means that we have the highest score in a one-day international
07:55on Australian soil.
07:59And he's just, he's just taking everything around the park, isn't he?
08:07150 for AB de Villiers.
08:10Celebrations from all the South Africans.
08:12I hope they've come out just reveling in this spectacle.
08:19Listen to the sound.
08:23That is miles back.
08:26This is some of the cleanest ball striking the game can surely have ever seen.
08:30Who said girl can hit sixes?
08:32400 for South Africa.
08:35Really wondered about them making it to 275.
08:38400.
08:40The fastest 150 in the history.
08:4564 I think.
08:47Oh my God.
08:48Six more.
08:49It's another.
08:50It's an extraordinary performance.
08:53Celebrate AB de Villiers.
08:57Sidney Cricket Ground will stand and applaud.
09:04And Jason Holder may hang his head.
09:06But really, there's no shame.
09:09A young man desperately trying to lead West Inders into a new era.
09:13But he's been in the face of an extraordinary performance here today.
