There&#39;s a good chance you might see more of the same tomorrow,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">But the 41-year-old warned Ireland can be quite a force to reckon with as it has been in quite good form recently beating the two-time World Cup champions the West Indies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;You might see more of the same from one of the South African batsmen - or even the Irish, they&#39;ve sprung a surprise already in this tournament beating the West Indies.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">On comparing De Villiers to Ireland batsman Kevin O&rsquo;Brien he said: &quot;They play different roles, but Kevin&#39;s got that ability, he got that quick 50 and that was really good.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;He&#39;s (Kevin) an exciting player and if he gets going he might put on a display as well. There&#39;s a lot of nice things to come and watch,&quot; the former all-rounder concluded.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
