Popular SuperSport presenter Neil Andrews had everyone thoroughly entertained with his animated personality and quirkiness, particularly during the auction where money was raised for Reach for a Dream.
Proteas skipper De Villiers, who was ruled out of the ODI series after fracturing his left middle finger during the Champions League Twenty20 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, was delighted with yesterday's T20 International victory. And, is confident in their ability to repeat the successes of the 2009 series against Australia when South Africa clinched both the T20 and ODI trophies.
"Obviously I'm disappointed that I won't play any part in the ODI series but I have tremendous faith in the team, our stand-in captain Hashim Amla and of course team management. We've got home-ground advantage, massive support and a hungry team desperate to reclaim our spot as the number one ODI team in the world. What better way to achieve that than by dethroning the current top ranked ODI team in the world."
His opposite number, Michael Clarke took over the reins of captaincy during a turbulent time for Australian cricket following their Ashes and ICC Cricket World Cup losses and even though the dust hasn't entirely settled, Clarke has proven himself in recent months, impressing pundits, his teammates and the opposition.
"Without question this is going to be a tough series against South Africa and I know that the mettle of each of our players is going to be tested in the coming months particularly because we have another tough series in December against India. Although we won the Test series here in South Africa in 2009, we lost both the T20s and ODI series and we definitely want to make amends for that. I have confidence that we can return home victorious with our world number one ranking intact."
