There is little more you can say in praise of Hashim Amla’s riotously successful quest to nail himself down, against some initial odds, as a one-day international “must pick”. He is simply scoring runs so frequently and meticulously for his country that the superlatives dry up a bit. Amla’s sixth century for the Proteas in the format in Dubai on Tuesday was almost certainly his most valuable, coming on a pitch which required the utmost in application and resolve as South Africa squeaked in by two runs for a 2-1 lead in the five-match series against Pakistan. Amla hit 119, continuing a superb fun of form in the last six months which has seen him score 865 runs in his last 11 ODI innings with five centuries. What do you think about Amla? Will he be the next Lance Klusener in the squad?
