00:00Good swing bowler, got the ability to hit the bat hard and move it around, more away.
00:14Yeah, Daniel Waddell, as you mentioned, just into his second international match for Australia.
00:20We have a look at Quentin de Kock's stats there, 23 years old, out of age and 65 matches already.
00:28Quentin de Kock, 750s, 1000s, so if he gets going, always a key player for South Africa at the top of the order.
00:40Amazing record there for Quentin de Kock, 1000s, averaging 42, 60 odd matches.
00:48The conversion rate for him is just outstanding.
00:51I think he's in one of the top or the top two of conversion rates in the history of the game.
00:58He got out for 70 odd, I think it was against Ireland, he was heading on for his 11th hundred.
01:06Good strike rate.
01:15Hundred on debut, was it? Is that right, for Quentin de Kock?
01:19You're looking in the wrong direction, this decision is to the right hand side.
01:23With Dan Worrell, down the leg side, let's replay that one.
01:29Very handy knock for Johnny Hastings.
01:36Just a bit of extra pace there, just getting de Kock a little bit of a surprise.
01:42Whipped away to the leg side, and that's all the way.
01:46Beautiful timing from de Kock.
01:49He's so strong, square of the wicket on both sides is Quentin de Kock.
01:52If you give him width on the offside, he'll hammer you.
01:54And if you get too tight onto that thigh pad, he'll whip you away.
01:58There's the example.
02:00Not too bad delivery, maybe just heading down that leg side, the length wasn't too bad.
02:04And he's onto it in the flash, onto the bank, and he just picks it up at ease.
02:08Beautiful piece of timing, we saw that from David Warner a couple of times.
02:14And just lays it off.
02:17Got a hand on, I think, Aaron Fitch, but it was hit so hard.
02:20Back to back boundaries.
02:25Yes, Johnny Hastings overcompensating with his line this time.
02:29Staying outside wide, outside the off stump, and Quentin de Kock.
02:34Staying outside wide, outside the off stump, and Quentin de Kock.
02:38Making no mistake in putting that one away.
02:42Off this ball's gone to the boundary, he was having a look over to his captain, Steve Smith,
02:46maybe looking for a little bit more protection.
02:49But they're on the greatest delivery so far.
02:55That one through the leg side, just had one man to beat.
02:59Adam Zanter there, couldn't pick it up, and he starts the over with a boundary.
03:09Yeah, that's dumb, Daniel Waldorf staying slightly leg side on the hip.
03:14And the surface just looks like it's coming on nicely at the moment for the batsman.
03:20And that's a better shot, through the gap, little race away, very quick outfield.
03:24He's pretty fast, David Warner, but he won't get that.
03:29We're all going around the wicket to the lefty.
03:32Oh, it's down the leg side, will it carry? It doesn't.
03:35It wasn't far away from Hastings.
03:39Probably just the timing from de Kock saved him.
03:44Oh, and that's pitched up and it's gone into the same area.
03:48A bit on the leg side, and that'll go into the rope.
03:51Travis Head in vain, that is the end of the odour, 44 without loss.
03:57Straight up in the air, Matthew Wade's chasing, so is Stephen Smith, and it won't get there.
04:06And that will bring up the 54, South Africa.
04:15Gee, that's a good shot. The ball wasn't that bad.
04:18Gee, that's a good shot. The ball wasn't that bad.
04:21It was a good length delivery.
04:23Just the angle, and he just sat back on it and opened the face.
04:27Beautiful bit of placement.
04:35Even that delivery. What about that shot?
04:38Beautiful timing.
04:41Exceptional placement.
04:44Yeah, he's just so good to watch, Quentin de Kock.
04:49Slightly shorter of length this time, and he goes in front of square.
04:54But the contact point, the contact point of where he's hitting the ball is so good tonight.
04:58It's just under his eyes, nice and late.
05:01It's a good, true pitch, and he's making full use of it out here tonight.
05:08Oh, in the air, it doesn't carry.
05:14Fortunately, it doesn't go across the rope.
05:18For the fielder, that is.
05:20Having decided to try and get himself in, Scott Boland.
05:27Shot.
05:29Too short and punished.
05:3350 up.
05:36To Quentin de Kock.
05:398th career 50.
05:41He's got 10 hundredths to his name.
05:44In his short career.
05:46And he's making a habit of giving South Africa a good start in one day internationals.
05:51It's a good habit.
05:58That's a nice shot.
06:01Too much work to do.
06:03It's placed well.
06:05It's four and brings up a hundred.
06:08Of 12 overs.
06:15It's tried again.
06:18Oh, no.
06:20What an effort.
06:22All the hard work done.
06:24He just needed to keep it in hand, Mitchell Marsh.
06:29And couldn't quite.
06:31The rope at play.
06:33Having to move sideways.
06:36So much to do.
06:38And it seemed he'd done it.
06:42Not quite.
06:46He probably thought he was closer to the rope than he really was.
06:51And that's an excellent bounce.
06:53Well on target.
06:55He had a little bit more room than he thought, Mitchell Marsh.
06:58A little bit more leeway.
07:04Oh, wow.
07:07Where's that come from?
07:09I'll tell you where it's gone.
07:11It's gone onto the bank.
07:13Six more.
07:17None of this gearing down stuff.
07:19You just got to keep going in the modern game, Pommy.
07:22Good in the cock.
07:24Wow.
07:25That's just pure talent.
07:27Flair.
07:30And that's just in the middle of a bet.
07:32Good bets he has.
07:34Good in the cock.
07:37I know he's targeting the short boundary on that side.
07:40But, well, that would have sold over most of any bigger grounds.
07:49Not happy with that bet now, is he?
07:51It's gone.
07:53Don't change it.
07:55It's working well.
07:57It's broken.
07:58He's got to change it.
08:00Going to miss out.
08:02Make that 141.
08:05Onto the bank again.
08:10Zampa has got a bowl.
08:13He has got a bowl.
08:14This is the sameness, as you said, about the bowling.
08:17Same pace, same sort of line, same lengths.
08:20And they're in the zone now to South African batsmen.
08:23They're just seeing the ball like footballs.
08:26Just to slow it up a bit.
08:28The leg spinner might just get the breakthrough and who knows from there.
08:31But, gee, this is a fantastic start from the South African boys.
08:37Too many short balls at a gentle pace on a placid pitch.
08:41That's not going to work.
08:44He's a happy camper.
08:47That's a wonderful shot straight down the ground.
08:49We haven't seen too many of those from Quinton de Kock so far in this.
08:52And he's a lot square of the wicket, both offside and legside.
08:55He shows that he possesses that ability to 18 from that over.
09:00145 without loss.
09:02And it's time for the players to have a refreshment.
09:04Bad fumble.
09:07Oh, it's got the umpire.
09:12Joe Wilson tried to take evasive action.
09:15It didn't work out.
09:16He's put in a brave face, but it must be stinging like anything.
09:22Oh, it's a freebie.
09:23He's gone for the variation.
09:24He went for the slower ball, but didn't land it.
09:26And Quinton de Kock, who's sitting on 86, isn't going to miss that.
09:33No, the juicy full toss.
09:36Man in form.
09:38Got what it deserved, really.
09:40The men are up in the circle.
09:42Wasn't hit right out of the middle of the bat, but good enough to get over the infield.
09:54Yes.
09:59Into the deep.
10:00Way, way back.
10:03What a way to bring up the hundred for Quinton de Kock.
10:06Outstanding batting here tonight, and he has set this crowd on fire.
10:14Hundred number seven, and his second against Australia.
10:19Has been a wonderful innings.
10:2011th century for Quinton de Kock.
10:25Been an outstanding innings.
10:29And just the conversion rate also for Quinton de Kock.
10:33A wonderful, wonderful record.
10:37He's exciting.
10:38He's been absolutely superb to watch tonight.
10:41His placement has been unbelievable, and his timing has been exquisite.
10:49And again, it'll be up, and it's over.
10:53Second one for the over.
10:55It's only a short boundary, and it was just a matter of getting it up in the air.
11:03Just an absolute joy to watch as Quinton de Kock, when he's in this mode.
11:08He's really unstoppable, and...
11:12Again, just brilliant timing.
11:15Flicking it over deep.
11:17Flicking it over deep, square leg.
11:20And that's the difference between the Australians.
11:22He's gone on and gone on with it.
11:24Stayed in there, held his nerve, and just batted time.
11:27The Australians really couldn't get someone to go on and score a hundred.
11:31George Bailey.
11:33Batting too low in the order.
11:34You need someone in your top three if you want to get 350 plus.
11:38And again.
11:40One bounce, and into the fence.
11:43Some good batting.
11:45Eleven, twelve fours now, and five sixes.
11:50Yeah, he's just in full flow at the moment, Quinton de Kock.
11:53And he's got that lovely flow of the bat.
11:55It's just a natural swing of the bat.
11:57Nothing mechanical.
11:58It's all natural talent.
12:01Beautiful flow of the bat.
12:09Full toss. Got what it deserved.
12:11Full toss, leg stunt.
12:12Class batsmen, especially someone on the hundreds,
12:14are always going to put that away.
12:18Just the extra pressure from Quinton de Kock.
12:21Adam Zampa.
12:23Much slower this time from him.
12:25Only 77 kilometres per hour.
12:29He plays the sweep shot very well.
12:31Well in front of square, Quinton de Kock.
12:34And this one through the offside.
12:36Oh, what about the timing?
12:39Got a man in the deep.
12:41And just laid it off beautifully.
12:44When he gets in this mode, you just can't stop him.
12:47He loves hitting the ball to the boundary, but
12:50he's just placing it to all parts of the ground at the moment.
12:54And he's just unstoppable.
12:56And don't forget, he's kept 50 overs as well.
13:01That's no mean feat.
13:07Well, he's stood up, hasn't he?
13:08No A.B. Davilis, no Amler in the side as well.
13:14Down a short one.
13:16He won't clear the fence, but he'll go into it.
13:18And he's got it.
13:19And he's got it.
13:20And he's got it.
13:21And he's got it.
13:22And he's got it.
13:24He won't clear the fence, but he'll go into it.
13:27He tried him a couple of times with a short one.
13:30And when a guy's done 130,
13:32I'll tell you what, he got a ball well.
13:37Yeah, would have been a bit disappointed with the one before
13:40that he scuffed into the ground in front of Steve Smith.
13:42But this one,
13:43slightly shorter of length and makes no mistake.
13:48If you look at Quinton de Kock and you probably wonder
13:51and ask yourself, where would he like the ball to be pitched?
13:53And that's his area.
13:55Very rare that he miss out.
13:59Oh, it's a slog that wide a bit on.
14:05He's bludgeoning it through the onside.
14:1316 fours and five sixes now for Quinton de Kock.
14:16Strike rate 139.
14:22Wasn't in the air.
14:23It was in the gap.
14:28As a bowler, you just probably hope just go straight to the fielder.
14:32Something just go for me.
14:35Timing is good this time from Quinton de Kock.
14:37He swung hard.
14:41Now a short one.
14:42And this one he goes way back.
14:45He's had a few in the slot.
14:46That was one of them tonight.
14:47And that brings up his career best one day international.
14:51Innings, Quinton de Kock.
14:53It has been a masterclass tonight.
14:56Into the over.
14:5828 gone.
14:59224 for one.
15:03He had a chance that that might happen again.
15:06He wasn't even that sure.
15:08But that has been the go-to zone for Quinton de Kock this evening.
15:13Just superb striking.
15:15He's just played that shot with ease.
15:17Especially that side of the field.
15:20Slightly shorter.
15:22He's right on leg stump.
15:24Just pivoted.
15:25And then bang.
15:26Six.
15:33Some of the high scores for South Africa.
15:35Gary Kirsten 188.
15:36Herschel Gibbs 175.
15:38Goes over cover.
15:39Beautifully placed.
15:40Gave himself some room.
15:43And I reckon it's gone into the right foot.
15:44Just over it.
15:48That brings up his 150 either way.
15:51And you get the feeling with Quinton de Kock.
15:53He doesn't want to stop there.
15:54He wants to take this all the way to the end.
16:00And he's got it.
16:01He's got it.
16:02He's got it.
16:03He's got it.
16:04He's got it.
16:05He's got it.
16:06He's got it.
16:07He's got it.
16:08He's got it.
16:11Just hitting him at will.
16:14I'm giving that six.
16:19Actually it doesn't matter where you bowl.
16:20He can hit it.
16:22Where the fielders aren't.
16:23And most of the time it's over the boundary.
16:32Takes them all.
16:34It's gone again.
16:36It's two in a row.
16:48What a way to bring up the 100 partnership.
16:51It's off just 75 balls as well.
16:57And fast made 21.
17:06Oh, goodness me.
17:10Well, well, well.
17:14Quentin Dukak turning it on.
17:18It's been a wonder to watch
17:21onto 165 from just 103 and
17:24he's gone bang, bang, bang here.
17:30Yeah, sensational batting from Quentin Dukak.
17:32Can you get the feeling he's not done yet?
17:34And here's a chance to get 200.
17:37Just has to keep his head a little bit.
17:39I think we get support from the other end.
17:43200 in a one day game.
17:45It's ridiculous.
17:48Robert Sharma's got two, I think.
17:54There you go.
17:57That's into the boundary as well.
18:01Careful Clive.
18:05Well, that's just the modern game, isn't it?
18:07It's in the zone.
18:08You got license to go in.
18:10He's been exceptional tonight.
18:12This Quentin Dukak wasn't a bad delivery at all.
18:15And it's just whacked it over long on for six.
18:22Yeah, well ducked Clive.
18:25That's a move away.
18:28Cutting it fine here with 175.
18:32We're thinking 200.
18:34But there's only 27 runs to win.
18:40Man out there.
18:41Man takes the catch.
18:45The bouncer works again.
18:50And a wonderful entertaining innings.
18:53A swashbuckling innings comes to an end.
18:57And from a young South African superstar.
19:02178 from 113.
19:05He really did put on a show.
19:09And even that dismissal,
19:11the ball came out of the middle of the bat,
19:13just found the fielder in the deep.
19:15What a superb performance from that young man,
19:17Quentin Dukak.
19:18Raise your bat because you deserve this applause.
19:22Superb batting.
19:25Power placement.
19:29Had a bit of everything.
19:32And the crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
19:35That was special.
19:37178, the score, 4 for 280.
