Faf also seems to have found his place in the batting line up at #3. He averages 46 there and he got both his hundreds from there.

Mitchell Johnson strikes again!

He's taken care of poor old Ryan McLaren again. Johnson pinned McLaren in yesterday's ODI and has broken McLaren's arm.

It's the second time Johnson has taken McLaren out. He also pinned McLaren in the head in the Test series in SA earlier this year...

Another ton for Faf du Plessis in the current series. He is really holding the SA batting line-up together. Making that number 3 spot his own currently.

Faf might never want to leave Zimbabwe with the runs he's bagged on this tour!

Test: 98 & 5*

ODI series vs Zimbabwe:
59
55
40

ODI Tri Series:
106 vs AUS
15 vs ZIM
126 vs AUS
123 vs ZIM

He's also got the chance to score a third consecutive hundred against Australia.

Seems to be in good form...

South Africa claimed a rather easy victory today to win the tri-series title.

Australia struggled to 219 out all. Dale Steyn ripped through them and finished with 4/35. James Faulkner and Mitchell Starc added 60+ for the ninth wicket to give Australia something to bowl at.

But Amla, AB and Faf made light work of the target with all three notching up 50s.

Faf ended up getting out on 96, had he reached 100, he would've been first man in ODI history to score 4 hundreds in one series. But I guess 400 odd runs isn't to bad.

Understatement of the century!

Faf has been seeing the ball like a watermelon. Extraordinary form.
