CANBERRA (Reuters) - Even though five South African batsmen have hit centuries in their first four World Cup matches, Hashim Amla's 159 on Tuesday might have been the most reassuring for fans of the Proteas looking ahead to the knockout stages.

Skipper AB de Villiers had already confirmed his spectacular form with a devastating 162 of 66 balls against West Indies last Friday but Amla, South Africa's other top batsman, had enjoyed a modest start to the World Cup by his very high standards.
