The Durban-born Amla's last international match in his hometown brought him back-to-back half-centuries in December 2011's second Test against Sri Lanka and, coupled to his century in the third one-dayer last week, the prolific right-hander wants a successful repeat.Sunday's three-figure feat in Johannesburg marked the 11th century of Amla's ODI career and, alongside captain AB de Villiers' ton, carried the Proteas to a 34-run win - and two-one lead - in the five-match series. I am quite interested to see what we get down there. It has been a long time since I played a domestic match for the Dolphins or a match for South Africa in Durban," said Amla.I always enjoy batting with AB because, when he comes in, there is a lot of energy and you know the game is going to go forward. I try to do my thing, get off strike and knock it into the gaps, AB does the same and with that kind of plan of playing risk-free cricket you will get a good partnership," added Amla.It's a day game so it won't swing as much, it usually does so in the evening. It's usually a good wicket, the scores are not as traditionally high as the Wanderers but, if it turns, their bowlers come into play.
