00:00New batsmen, AB de Villiers

00:04The crease, Mann in form

00:06100 in his last game, 107 not out

00:11And just a little bit of a wobble here from South Africa

00:1650 and out loss and 58 for 2

00:2051 without loss

00:23And Mayor Smith went and Jack Keller's just a little unlucky

00:28Caught down the leg side

00:30Oh, come on

00:33Have another look at the wicket

00:35It'll gone too full as fetched

00:37Like that

00:39It's nicely put away by AB de Villiers

00:42Not looking to hit the ball too hard, it's a full toss

00:45And he's just got it in the gap

00:47And it's gone for 4

00:49Beautifully timed, but also what it highlights is how quick this outfield is

00:54It's a very, very quick outfield

00:56And this ground in itself can be a difficult ground to defend

00:58Particularly if you don't quite get the total that you're looking to achieve

01:03So South Africa will be aware of that

01:05They know they're going to have to get up around 300

01:14In the air and it's gone wide of the man

01:18Wide of third man and a couple of boundaries in a row for AB de Villiers

01:22He's in fine touch

01:23De Villiers on this occasion opening the face of the bat

01:27Lifting it over the two backward points

01:30Recognising there's an opportunity for another boundary

01:35Obviously the graphic that I'll show you all at home

01:40Just exactly what the field is

01:45That's slapped away wide of mid-arm, just a fraction short

01:49De Villiers so quick, A with his feet

01:52And B with his hands

01:56It's a terrific shot this from De Villiers

02:00He knew exactly where the fielder was, he was at deep square leg

02:03There was nobody at deep mid-wicket

02:06And he hit it along the ground, didn't try to hit it over the top either

02:10Took no chances

02:13Very well

02:17Clever

02:19It's a sort of innovation that he's also capable of, AB de Villiers

02:27He's very cleverly done

02:30Very good innovation there

02:33By De Villiers

02:35Saw that ball around the off stump, took a chance

02:38Just helped it along, didn't try to hit it too far

02:41And now with that boundary of that first ball, pressure on the bowler

02:49De Villiers

02:55I think the points that Ian Boathams made on air have been

03:00Very good

03:02As De Villiers brings up yet another 50

03:06In this format of the game

03:09It's almost like job not done yet, small appreciation by him

03:14To a small crowd that are in here to applaud him

03:19He wants to turn that into three figures no doubt

03:27The points that Ian were making are ones that you've also just observed

03:32What happened to the Yorker?

03:35Where's the Yorker gone?

03:37I don't know whether it's the bowlers that don't have the skill

03:41Because I've seen them do it

03:43It's a question of being able to do it

03:44Seven wickets

03:47That's a lovely shot over the bowler's head

03:49That's the safest place to go

03:50Four more for De Villiers

03:54That's the best part of his knock

03:56He's picked boundaries whenever he wanted to

03:58He's improvised well, read the bowler's length well

04:01And fantastic shot over the bowler's head

04:06Going back to what England did against India in the last

04:13Four more

04:15And that's four more

04:17Very very clever shot

04:19From A.V. De Villiers

04:22He knows where the field is

04:25And placed this

04:27Umpires make the signal

04:29Logged

04:32That's a good shot by A.V. De Villiers

04:36What's nice about this shot

04:37So just watch his front foot here

04:40He just opens, gets it out the way

04:42So he can play the shot

04:44And this is a man of

04:45Full confidence

04:48Timing

04:52If you watch here, look at that front foot

04:53Doesn't get out there

04:54Just stays out that leg side

04:56So he can get his leg side for the sweep

05:00But he's not going to stop that

05:01When you're going to sweep it over the top

05:03And that's six

05:05So very very well played by De Villiers

05:08Recognising there's no

05:09Outfielder behind square

05:11And that's the first six of the day

05:14Just comfortably getting inside that

05:16And lifting it

05:17Over those two shortfielders behind square

05:20Wrong length wasn't it really

05:21It's got to be fuller than that

05:23Otherwise

05:24That's exactly what will happen

05:25Down on one knee

05:27And make sure you can get your bat

05:29Underneath the ball

05:30Which he did easily

05:33Overcover this time as I say

05:36That's an area where he likes to hit it

05:37He's had to hit that off the back foot

05:39Making room for himself

05:41You'll see him do it off the front foot as well

05:46De Villiers with that shot

05:47Reaches 200 runs for this tournament

05:49And this just shows the class of the player

05:51He can hit anywhere on this ground

05:54Going deep in his crease

05:58Well bowled again by Bakari

05:59But it's through

06:00Poor piece of fielding there

06:02Cover point

06:05He recognised that he's put his hand up to the bowl

06:07And Bakari got it right up in the bock hole

06:09Zutterer was the man

06:11And he jammed it out square of the wicket

06:15He got four for it

06:16Shouldn't have been

06:19Bakari is spitting blood

06:21Still spitting blood

06:25He's already used a word or two

06:35Hundred number two for De Villiers

06:37In two innings

06:39One of the superb innings this has been

06:41A hundred from 88 deliveries

06:44Just pushed the South African score along

06:47Looked after Amner the other end

06:49While he went to a hundred

06:51And kept that scoring rate going

06:53Terrific batting

06:57241 for two

07:09241 for two

07:35241 for two

07:36De Villiers just completing his second century of this

07:39Cricket World Cup 2011

07:41In as many innings

07:43107 not out against the West Indies

07:45A hundred not out at the moment against the Netherlands

07:50And that hundred coming in 88 deliveries

07:56The spin of Sela

07:57Having bowled one over for 16 is

08:01Not going to happen anymore

08:02Not for the moment anyway

08:03And Bernard Lewitz

08:06Will bowl from the city end

08:07And sitting next to me

08:09Sunil Gavaskar

08:12Very good partnership this

08:14Good launching pad now for these last

08:17Seven overs

08:18Both batsmen well set

08:21Hitting the ball well

08:22De Villiers in particular has been

08:24Quite extraordinary getting his hundred in 88 deliveries

08:28Amla has taken a little more time but

08:30He's given the solidity to the innings

08:34Big hit

08:35Huge hit

08:36Man back there but it's over his head

08:40De Villiers second six of the innings

08:44Just the length ball that he was looking for

08:48You bowl length balls now

08:49You're going to go

08:52And he's gone

08:56All the fans

08:57Ha ha ha

08:59Well the fielder was hoping that

09:01Might have

09:03Been a little bit of a miscue

09:04Wasn't

09:06Fiercely struck by

09:07De Villiers

09:11Take some pace off the ball

09:12Maybe

09:15De Villiers didn't middle it quite

09:16That's why it only just cleared

09:28There's another one

09:30But there is a man under this one

09:31Is he going to be out?

09:32No

09:33He's fallen over the rope

09:34And the ball's gone over his head

09:37Back to back sixes

09:40Obviously the bowler didn't learn anything

09:41From the previous delivery

09:42This one was probably a little quicker

09:45The first one was the slower delivery

09:47This was a little bit quicker

09:48But again

09:49Length ball

09:51De Villiers goes straight this time

09:54That's a sweet bat

09:55Making a very, very sweet sound

10:01Where's the ball?

10:02Where's the ball?

10:11There's another one

10:12And that's gone a long way

10:14Slower ball attempted

10:16De Villiers waited

10:18So that's three in a row

10:22Let's not mention it just yet

10:26Well in the last World Cup

10:27Another South African hit six sixes

10:32Herschel Gibbs

10:34If I remember rightly

10:35Hit six sixes in an over

10:38I'm not too sure which team it was against

10:42It was against

10:43The Netherlands

10:45Now

10:46De Villiers

10:47Back

10:48It's a slightly varied field

10:49Not much

10:51And

10:53Dennis

10:55God it's going to

10:57We can expect it to be full

10:58And driven to long on and long off

11:00Along the ground

11:02Oh what a brilliant shot

11:04What a brilliant shot

11:07Dear oh dear

11:09I don't know what they get up to these days

11:13Cheeky as well

11:15And

11:16The bowler himself has a smile

11:18He's played a few in his time

11:21And if he had missed it

11:22It probably would have

11:24Been on the grill of the helmet

11:28Field is in the circle

11:30And no protection for

11:32Him on the offside

11:37It's over cover that's four more

11:41Oh this power play is

11:43Turning into something of some proportion

11:49The first two balls of the previous over

11:51In fact the first three were hit for sixes

11:54Now the first two balls he's hit for boundaries

12:0556 runs and 20 deliveries of the power play

12:1010 more deliveries to come

12:12Of the batting power play

12:21Over mid-off

12:23Just brought mid-off up

12:25To give himself some

12:27Protection on the square cover boundary

12:30And de Villiers hit him

12:32Straight back to where he came from

12:36Once again the bowler

12:38Is bowling

12:40Just a bit of length deliveries

12:41And that's allowing

12:43A.B. de Villiers to pick his spot

12:45If he hit it over cover

12:47The first couple of deliveries

12:48Now it's over

12:49Over cover

12:50The first couple of deliveries

12:51Now this one he's played with a straight bat

12:53Over mid-off

12:57Look at that he's actually

12:59Picking the spot

13:03He does it without any problems whatsoever

13:11Just once

13:13He's gonna push for a second

13:14Gotta hurry he's gone I reckon

13:16I reckon he's gone

13:17Oh what a way to go as well

13:20He's playing so so well

13:22No danger whatsoever of

13:24Well the bowler's getting him

13:26And he's gone and gone

13:28For a second run

13:29Seems to be confident

13:33But he can make his way back

13:35Because there's the confirmation

13:37Good work done by the bowler

13:40To gather the ball and

13:42Whip the bails off

13:43A good throw back as well

13:45Bounced in

13:48And de Villiers has got to

13:49Go back to the change room

13:51Doesn't take away though

13:53From what a fantastic innings that was

13:55There's the confirmation

13:58There you go

14:01Yes that's the confirmation that he's out

14:04But what an unnecessary end

14:05To a brilliant innings

14:06283 for 4
