AB de Villiers joins Keepin' It Cricket for The Player Who.
The Proteas great reveals the player he idolised as a kid, the calmest batting partner he ever had (and it's not who you'd expect), and the scariest bowler he faced in the nets, one a teammate flat-out refused to bat against. Plus the Aussie quick who really didn't like him, the bowlers who hurt his gloves most, the IPL youngster he loves watching now, and his pick for the best wicketkeeper ever, with Hadds and Heals sitting right there.

AB de Villiers joins Hadds, Heals and Adam Peacock on the Keepin' It Cricket couch ahead of the South Africa vs Australia Test series.
AB explains how Steve Smith will be received in South Africa, and names him and Joe Root as the most irritating batters he faced. He also discusses Keshav Maharaj's threat, why SA pitches are suddenly turning, and whether Marnus can turn his form around in the country he was born in. He looks back on the 2008 Perth win and on the IPL, and gets back to batting basics.
Plus Heals' juice cleanse (blame David Warner), a big week for Coach Hadds, and a barefoot plane conundrum.
