South Africa v Ireland

Wisden's review of the 24th match, South Africa v Ireland

Pace our biggest shortcoming - Porterfield

Ireland captain William Porterfield chose not to dwell on the dropped chance early in the innings that allowed Hashim Amla to soar to yet another ODI century, but he did admit that coping with accurate bowling at high pace was the greatest struggle for As

Amla substitutes style for substance

The Hashim Amla we knew became the Amla we may want to know a bit more of as he abandoned elegance and decided to go unorthodox instead to reach a career-best

Amla to the fore as SA do it their way

Hashim Amla played down his achievements after becoming the fastest man to 20 ODI hundreds in South Africa's win over Ireland

Ireland miss their only chance

Ireland's hefty loss showed that for their bowlers, every possible advantage must be stolen by their fielders in order to avoid a lopsided scoreboard
