Quinton de Kock is NERVOUS during his interview.

I would be too.
hehe. They need to coach him a little. Asked about Faf's and AB's knocks he said "Ja, it's the norm now. I didn't even celebrate". :D

I love the commentators comments.
"Well folks this not the cricket we're watching but rather the Indian Tennis open."
And that from an India commentator, lol.

What a batsman AB is. When he years ago just started playing, they asked him what his target is, and he said, "To be the best batsman in the world". We can safely say he has achieved that, and more.

I remember that. He is in a class of his own.

It didn't happen this game, but did in his last two centuries, but I am sure AB is the batsman who have scored the most centuries with a 6 in both ODIs and tests. He seems to do it quite often. He has got to his ton in test with a 6 at least twice that I have seen.

AB is the epitome of captain fantastic:

His batting record as captain (top line) is way better than his overall average in ODIs:

I say this with 100% certainty with no doubt in my mind. I saw Tendulkar at his peak I saw Lara at his peak, I saw Ponting and Kallis.

AB is the greatest ODI batsmen since Viv Richards.

An amazing display of batting. Set up by QDK. Finished off nicely by the team. And just how the crowds have warmed to the Proteas. Especially AB.

Where did you get the stat from? Interesting comparison.

And yet they are so different in style and aggression.

Mmmm. Good point. But has he not surpassed Sir Isaac Vivian Alexander?

Been good team effort in the field so far. A couple of mistakes, so something to improve on. If those had been bagged, the crowd would have been throwing bottles at the players :p
