5. We didn’t have him down as a violent man.

Congrats to Hashim Amla. He was under immense pressure but once again he has shut the lips of the critics with the bat. #Legend#SAvSL

6. Nor did we have him down as manipulative! Ho hum.

# Amla was never really out of form.

He just tricked us into thinking that, to make his 100th match even more impressive.

11. Awww. Must be a maths thing you have.

I’m no sports fanatic but I always get emotional when milestones are reached. Like when Amla reached that 100 pic.twitter.com/SlmWrc6oZc
