Interim Australia coach praises South Africa captain AB de Villiers ahead of their Tri Series match against South Africa at a news conference in Georgetown, Guyana.

SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Langer, Interim Australia coach

"You can't go past AB de Villiers can you? He is a freak. He makes batting look so easy. He is one of the great players of world cricket at the moment - one of the great players. Of course, our guys will concentrate on him and use their IPL experience and their international experience against him to come up with some sort of plan. He's an important player and the captain as well. Obviously, we will keep an eye on him but (Hashim) Amla - the list goes on. They have got a good side. We respect that. We will enjoy that and we will take some confidence out of tonight. We won't get carried away with it though as it is one game. It is one win in a long series. We won't get carried away. We will enjoy it for a little bit then switch our attention and be ready for Tuesday."
