SA finished day one on a sound note or infact in a authority manner as the visitors piled up the agony for the home team with a fast scoring rate.
Devilliers scored what was to be the most thrilling innings u would ever see as he tore apart the WI bowlers and scored a century in just 80 odd balls.
Kallis gave him good company and after reaching his fifty he too played some fine shots to ensure the WI hand doesnt come up again.

Devilliers scores his 50 in nice style and acknoledges the crowd.
But after reaching his fifty too he played aggressive shots and that was the hallmark of his innings.

South Africa have taken themselves into a comfortable position here. The Windies will be looking to pick up a wicket or two before the visitors take a very big lead.
Good batting by De Villiers and Kallis.
