Mohil: "@Sifiso, I'm not a fan of Behardien either, but he seems to always perform in situations where the top order collapses and SA needs someone to rebuild the innings. I'd keep him in."

Yaseen ALI Samt: "380 was on the cards with AB in the crease ,he got out and look the difference!! Prvillage to live in the era of Great Player !!"

Sifiso: "Berhardien still unable to prove himself as a finisher in international cricket. And at this point I think the selectors really need to move on. He and Duminy should have taken this score to 370+ after that set up by AB. "

Yash: "And Mr. 360 ABD has scored 50% of South Africa's runs! "

Sam: "Great comeback from BD bowlers. 3 wickets for just 14 runs in last 3 overs."

1:40pm Apologies for the last nine balls of the innings. We lost the broadcaster's feed and had to quickly get inputs from Firdose Moonda at the ground, who was your commentator for the last over. Many thanks to her. And to you for your patience.

No one is thanking De Villiers for patience today. Fell 24 short of what would have, by a long way, been the fastest double-century in ODIs. Came in in the 19th over, when two wickets had fallen in the space of four balls. Didn't make any difference to him. He was in complete control today, making them bowl where he wanted it, and then using those unreal skills to send the ball in all directions.
There was Amla there, of course. Isn't he always there? Another top-class knock from the man who thrives as second-fiddle...and manages to strike above 90 anyway. True carnage. The highest ODI total at Paarl.

Afraid there is a technical issue with the broadcaster's feed. We will bring you the scoring at the very least, and try and see if we can get commentary.
