Amla, who had an outstanding Test series and was asked to
stay back for the ODIs after regular skipper Graeme Smith flew
back home with a finger injury, was the more dominant partner
initially before Bosman took over.

Amla greeted debutant Abhimanyu Mithun to international
cricket by spanking the Karnataka youngster for successive
fours in his opening over.
Bosman, caught off a no-ball by Yusuf Pathan at short
mid-wicket off S Sreesanth, pulled a long hop from the bowler
for the first six of the innings and then swept him for a four
to force the Kerala bowler off the firing line after an
expensive five-over spell for 32 runs.
He then stepped out to Yusuf Pathan in the latter's first
over to loft the off spinner for a six over long off and
complete his half century in 36 balls.
Bosman innings came to an end when he tried to clear
Pathan only to find Jadeja at at long off.
Amla, who duly reached his half-ton in 58 balls with six
fours, and captain Jacques Kallis then consolidated the
innings with a partnership of 79 runs in 17.1 overs. (MORE)
