AB De Villiers' 10 Best Moments

9. This Incredible Run-Out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oy0JePsg9AE He bats, he keeps, he bowls a bit - he took 2-28 versus New Zealand last October - AB de Villiers is also renowned for his incredible athleticism in the field. This run-out of Simon Katich at Port Elizabeth back in 2006 is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of fielding in ODI history. Fielding in close at extra-cover, de Villiers denied the Australian left-hander the single he needed to reach his half-century with an excellent pickup and tumbling, off-balance throw. Despite his heroics in the field and with the bat - he hit 68 from 92 balls - Australia came out on top by 24 runs thanks to a man-of-the-match 4-48 from Brett Lee.
