Sit back and enjoy highlights of AB de Villiers' seventh Test match century that guided South Africa to a historic win over Australia at the WACA Ground in 2008
That South Africa test team from 2008-2013 was legendary. Defeated Australia, England, India, New Zealand in both away and test series. The likes of Kallis, Smith, de Villiers, Amla, Boucher, Steyn gave no chance to the opposition. They will never produce such a team again
anupam mudgal India stopped producing sporting pitches . Astonishingly India was beaten in 2000 by Pacers and Nicky Boje . Still those wickets offered some kind of support like reverse swing . Since then BCCI produced those dusty pitches devoid of green top like Kanpur . See the ranking why India 🇮🇳 is ranked above some formidable sides . Home tigers 🐅 really .
If you ever visted INDIA you will find out ABD has more fans than many indian cricket superstar .....just watch the crowd when he enters in chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore
@@45661992 ABD is revered throughout India. Remember the 2015 Ind-SA series when he was cheered at every single Indian ground, even more than Dhoni and Kohli.
@women are devastating creatures dude do you seriously watch cricket? Perth was the most difficult pitch on that tour and only he mamaged a hundred there. 147 at southafrica and 4th innings 141 Adelaide. Recent English Tour.. Geez why am i telling you that. Just go and compare overseas average dude. And if flat pitches is your concern than please do check other batsmen statistics. You seriously need to watch cricket!!
@@RameshKumar-pq5ww Sachin and Lara were the best batsmen of our childhood...De Villiers is the best all round batsman of this generation.He can defend,attack and play outrageous shots too.
@@Hadex01 actually it that year 2008 when Abd started peaking as good player. He scored 200 At motera then never looked back. I remember his interview at the time of WC 2007 when he said i want to become best player in world in couple of years and he was so true to his words.
One of the best test match ever.. Chasing 400+ at Perth and that too against OZ bowling attack consist of Lee and Johnson.. It was master class from Mr. 360° who played exceptionally well and guided RSA to cross finish line..

at his best, I never thought ABDV will actually get out. It seemed like he knew exactly where every ball will be bowled. He had so much time, even against Brett Lee
For a good 8 years from 2006-2014 there was no test playing nation in the world that could carry the proteas' bags....not aus,not eng and definitely not India.....I think they didn't lose a single test series in this period under Smith's captaincy....they drew a series in India,won series in England just after England had thrashed India 4-0 at home and beat aus in aus...
One of the all time legend coz of his entertainment personality on and off the field, one of the best innovators of the game and loved by all, and his attitude. Too good of everything
ABD have fans in india equal to Dhoni.. because of his character and the way he plays cricket definitely I one of the biggest fan of him.. all the best and keep up the good work ABD.. locking forward to see you in T20 word cup 2020..👍🏻👍🏻
He's a better test batsman than the so called test specialists like Pujara and a better T20 batsman than the T20 specialists like the big hitters from West Indies. And of course he's the best ODI batsman of all time and that's what makes him so special
Woww. SA chased down 400+ in fourth innings against Australia in Australia. Great Stuff
Just AB things
Yeah I also surprise
pitches are similar in sa and aus so it is easy for them.
That too in perth
Ali Faizan actually SA did that a lot a few years ago. I think they beat India twice in their own backyard around the same time.
