Shaun Tait nearly kills AB de Villiers. Gets high fives all around
The commentators were gushing over David Warner and rightly so (although we get it, he hasn't played a first class game yet, you don't have to repeat it every couple of minutes). But for me, the most breathtaking moment (literally for one unlucky Protea) was in Shaun Tait's first over.
Tait nearly took Jacques Kallis' head off with his first 152kph delivery. His second ball was 155kph. Then his third ball thwacked into AB de Villier's midriff. Doubled over in pain, de Villiers' bat crashed into the stumps. As he crumpled to the ground in agony, the Australians clustered next to his quivering body, high fiving and celebrating. I think I may have seen Cameron White kick de Villiers in the ribs a few times while noone was looking.
It was a moment that would've brought a tear to Jeff Thomson's eye.
