An unbeaten 106 against Australia at Perth was one of the highlights of AB's career
South Africa chased a target of 414 against Australia at Perth in 2008 which is the second highest chase in the history of international cricket. The chase was possible due to an unbeaten century by AB.
South Africa had lost 3 wickets for 179 runs when AB and Kallis attacked the Australian bowlers. The likes of Lee, Johnson, Siddle and Kreza had no answer to AB's heroics and AB in an innings of 276 balls hit 9 boundaries and scored an unbeaten 106 to guide South Africa to a 6 wicket victory.
