power went off during the 12 over of the daredevils innings yesterday and came back during the innings break.i thought [b]devilliers hit a ton so it must have raining sixes and fours but when they said he hit only 6 fours and 5 sixes,i was asking my self WHERE THE HECK IS THE REMAINING 54 RUNS?DID HE RAN 54 RUNS IN T 20 MATCH?[/B]its acceptable in test matches and ODI matches but this was the last thing i expected in a T 20 match .good going AB.u r keeping cricket well and alive

I watched his innings too. What a stunning performance! I watching watching the 2nd match when the lights went out at the start of 2nd innings. Only this morning I came to know about KKR's defeat and the super over. I wish I could watch the highlights.

believe me.its one of those few matches which swung both ways throughout the match.dad strike form and its a pleasure to see him trying to be calm and making the other batsmen also calm .i wonder whether shane escaped the penalty fine or not because he took so long to complete those 20 overs but we cant blame them either.

A B DeVilliers played a classic cricket knock just like the coaches would like you to play. He build his innings early on and just rotated the strike to allow Dilshan to face most of the bowling. Dilshan was playing really well and AB did not follow him with big hits. One Dilshan fell he took control and went nuts in the last few overs. He and tiwary put on a 70+ partnership in which AB scored more than 60. It was a really good batting exhibition. And yeh cricket is truely alive and kicking

Yep De Villiers did a lot of running for his 105. He scored 6 sixes and 5 fours meaning 49 runs were run.
If you look at his first fifty though he only hit three boundaries 2 sixes and 1 four, so most of the running happened early on when he was getting used to the pitch.
