Amazing. Take a bow!
His career SR is excellent too for someone who isn't a big hitter.Btw Amla averages something ridiculous like 54.95
To be fair the Netherlands aren't much worse than Windies.Highest One Day score. Sri Lanka's v Netherlands doesn't count.
his interview now was quite funny, saying the worst thing WI could've done was get him out.Power hitting at its best. Remarkable innings!! Genius batting from a fabulous player. Wasn't just aimless slogs, they were proper shots he was smashing all over the place. A joy to watch.
Amla too, love watching him bat. Superb from them both.
And the 3rd guy, poor bastard has a century that hardly anyone will remember!
I think he is the most naturally gifted batsman we've ever had. Second is probably Gibbs.South Africa's greatest batsman ever? He's better than Kallis in my book anyway, because I rate 'not being a boring bastard' quite highly.
I remember watching a little segment on Sky Sports with Pollard. Apparently he has 6 grips on his bat. 6!!Chris Gayle's got a huge piece of wood.
Apparently.
Commentators eh?
True-but SAF historically chokes even with world class players!AB without doubt best batsman in the world across all formats. Simply the best. This is not the only sport in which he is so good. Had read something about AB having played at very high levels in few other sports too.
Amla is 2nd best after him in best current batsmen and of course Steyn no. 1 bowler without any slightest of doubt. For these 3's sake, I am hoping SA win the world cup. Deserved word is often overused but these 3 truly deserve winning world cup.
SA muddle it up by playing a huge number of all rounders, not defining responsibility. This time is the first they've turned up without a proper all-rounder -- Parnell and Philander don't count. They are the favourites for me.True-but SAF historically chokes even with world class players!
just watched some of his innings and it was stunning.AB without doubt best batsman in the world across all formats. Simply the best. This is not the only sport in which he is so good. Had read something about AB having played at very high levels in few other sports too.

Nope. I asked the same question earlier, first time it's happened.AB is by far the most talented "modern" batsman. Incredible player in any format of the game.
Has a team ever had 3 centuries in the same innings of an ODI? I can't remember it ever happening.
Really?Nope. I asked the same question earlier, first time it's happened.
I heard Pollock say it's the first time it's happened. Although, it may be that it's the first time the top-3 in the order have all got centuries.Really?
I think India would've come very close recently. I remember Dhawan got out on 90 odd in one of the matches and Rohit/Kohli made centuries.
They have 4 good bowlers however use batsmen to make the 5th bowler which may be a problem.Really hope South Africa win the World Cup. They have a good team. Bowling attack is especially strong. Good young players in the squad as well.
A few months too late for that, surely. As an England fan, seeing our best ODI batsman left out of the world cup because of some petty in-fighting between stubborn upper-middle class tossers really annoyed me. No-one will convince me that team would've done worse with KP there in place of MorganPietersen's gonna make an ill-fated comeback isn't he?
