AB de Villiers sizzles with double ton


The mighty Proteas finished for a mammoth score of 584 before they declared their innings to let Pakistan go in to show off their batting skills. AB de Villiers was the man for South Africa to help them reach such a mammoth score. AB de Villiers completed his double ton and made a mind bloggling 278 for South Africa, his innings also included six sixes.
AB de Villiers was helped by the South African lower order to put up such a huge score, he made up a partnerships of 42 with Botha, 59 with Dale Steyn and a impressive unbeaten 91 with Morkel. Pakistan were already thrashed and were left hopeless. Tanvir was the only bowler who had things to be glad about in the match as he finished for figures of 6 for 120 which were not so bad figures for a bowler on his debut, but none other bowler seemed to bring any help to Pakistan.
When Pakistan were sent on field by the Proteas to bat just after the tea, they lost their first wicket in no time to Steyn, though they had no more casualties to end the day with a score of 59/1. While South Africa will be thrilled with their performance.
 South Africa will be having many positives to look forward to after the day, AB de Villiers had made his best test score and some handy partnerships from the lower order. Pakistan on the other hand who were totally down physically and mentally with the hitting of AB de Villiers.
