Quinton De Cock the Massive Century in Johannesburg
Merely looking to survive when he came in to bat, young South African batsman Quinton de Kock said the lack of zing in the Indian pace attack helped him ease to a man-of-the-match winning hundred in the opening match of the three-match series in Johannesburg.
The 20-year-old, who shone in front of his home crowd including his family, scored his second ODI hundred to help South Africa pile up 358/4, which the Indians failed to chase and crashed to a 141-run defeat.They bowled a bit short. If they had bowled fuller lengths, maybe there was a chance of nicking it. But you cannot compare the Indian bowlers with the likes of Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel", said de Kock, taking care not to sound disrespectful.
"I have played a lot of cricket here at the Wanderers. My family was among the crowd here, watching their first international match at a stadium. So I hope they are feeling proud," he added after his 135-run knock.(Baby-faced pink panther Quinton de Kock stars - all match pics)

Shane Warne tell James Anderson 'scare' to vigour Bailey in face during first Ashes Test
The sledging row created in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane has taken another wriggle as Shane Warne
accused James Anderson of scare to vigour George Bailey in the face.
The hammer row created in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane has taken another wriggle as ShaneWarne accused James Anderson of scare to vigour George Bailey in the face.
According to Stuff.co.nz, as the fallout continued after the spectacular and controversial finish to the first Test, it egress on Monday that James Anderson treatment of Bailey sparked the flaming exchange between Clarke and the England pace spearhead.
David Warner weighed into the drama, describing Anderson as haughty, the report said.
In developments late on Monday, ShaneWarne claimed in a series of tweets that Anderson had told Bailey, who was fielding in close, that he wanted to punch the Tasmanian in the face, the report added.
Shane Warne said that on another note, it was a disrespect that Clarke had been fined because what Anderson said to Bailey was not heard.
Johnson blows England away in a 381-run thrashing.
Australia 295 (Brad Haddin 94, Mitchell Johnson 64, Broad 6-81) and 7 for 401 declare (David Warner 124, Michael Clarke 113, Brad Haddin 53) beat England 136 (Johnson 4-61, Harris 3-28) and 173 (Cook 65, Johnson 5-42) by 381 runs.
The field set for Mitchell johnson summed up Australia's supremacy as they closed in on victory in the first Test at the Gabba. Every fielder was there for the kill: four slips, a fly slip, two leg slips, silly mid off, short leg. Australia were all over England - or at least Johnson was - and after tea it briefly felt like the 1970s again with Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson in their pomp. Australia needed this win badly. They had not won a Test in 10 attempts and an Ashes Test in eight goes. But from such a fallow period they have somehow learned how to dominate again. They have backed up their talk by inflicting on England one of the heaviest thrashing in Ashes history. They zig zag up the hammer with England nine down with the stump mic picking up conflicting opinions from their captain, Michael Clarke, and T20 captain, George Bailey, about whether James Anderson was going to get his arm or his hand broken. The umpires had to step in as feelings became heated. Clarke insisted that "mutual respect" remained off the field and that it was good, tough cricket. "I cop as much as I give," Clarke said. "I have had a lot worse. There is not one person in the England team that we have a personal vendetta against." Alastair Cook, England's captain, suggested that back-to-back Ashes series made a rise in tensions almost inevitable. Johnson finished with 9 for 103 in the match, freed from the technical doubts that have dogged his career, technically sounder for the moment at least and relishing the thrill of bowling fast. Every time he came on, the crowd roared with anticipation. Maybe it should always have been this way. It has come late in the day - he is 32 now - but this could be the Ashes series that cements his reputation. Australia just need to give him quick, bouncy pitches and feed him steak every time he looks likely to lapse into self-analysis. At the Gabba three years ago, Johnson made a duck and took none for 170. On this occasion, his 64 alongside Brad Haddin rescued Australia's first innings and his bowling, physically threatening at times, will have left England mentally scarred. Graham Gooch's dog thrower, used to hone England's batsmen against quick bowling, will have to be employed with such ferocity that it could wrench his shoulder. Roofs have been ripped from houses in Queensland, power lines are down and there was even a report of a tornado. There were three storms at the Gabba on the fourth day and only one of them was called Johnson: he was the most violent of the three. The first curtailed the afternoon session to 16 overs as hailstones fell the size of marbles and then soon disappeared, as marbles tend to do. The final storm was barely a whimper. England lost four wickets for nine runs in 20 balls after the first storm, their second collapse of the match. The first of them was Cook, their redoubtable captain, and the one batsman who shaped as if saving the game was within his ken. Cook fell to his second ball after the resumption, immediately after tea, seeking the cut shot that had been his most productive stroke, and undone by a little extra bounce and turn. Nathan Lyon's ability to find overspin has been beneficial on a pitch of decent bounce and he has outbowled Graeme Swann here as a result. Cook is designed for the long game. Endurance defines him. His 65 over three-and-threequarter hours was patient and unflustered, intent purely on survival, and scoring occasionally by happenstance. When a ball slipped out of Lyon's hand and arrived as a juicy full toss, he could not quite compute it and the ball rapped into his thigh. Fragility followed upon Cook's dismissal. Matt Prior obligingly turned Lyon to leg slip and Stuart Broad and Swann followed in Johnson's next over, Broad jumped across his crease to fend Johnson off his glove down the leg side and Swann collected the first Test pair of his career as he pushed half-heartedly forward. The Nottinghamshire pair can be outlandish counter-attackers down the order but neither look well equipped to cope with Johnson thundering in at 150kph. Not many would. Chris Tremlett blocked stoutly for a while and Joe Root, on his first Ashes tour, will find his two hours at the crease invaluable. But Tremlett departed at short leg as Ryan Harris slammed one into the splice, and the second over with the new ball rounded things off as Anderson proferred Johnson a return catch amid a flurry of verbals. Once again, the Gabba had come to Australia's aid. Two down overnight, and with two days remaining, England's task to save the Test looked insurmountable without major intervention from the weather. If they could draw sustenance from anywhere it was from the Brisbane Test three years ago when they batted for ten-and-a-half hours, Cook made an unbeaten double hundred and the series shifted irrevocably in their favour. But their batting possessed more substance then. In the morning, England lost Kevin Pietersen; in the afternoon, Ian Bell. Such was Australia's dominant position that one wicket per session was acceptable progress because as became evident the tail can depart in no time. Bell, on 32, became the fourth England wicket to fall, during a wholehearted spell by Peter Siddle, failing to withdraw as Siddle found extra bounce and cramped his shot.
