Having a ball ... the likeable Hashim Amla. Source: Greg Wood / AFP
For such a studious and serious cricketer, Hashim Amla certainly does like a laugh ... and causing one.
The bespectacled and bearded Amla, widely regarded as the best Test batsman in the world, could even do worse than turn his hand to the stand-up circuit when he retires.
Showing a wit as sharp as his reflexes, and delivery as well timed as his cover drive, the South Africa No.3 entertained off, as well as on, the field during the drawn first Test at the Gabba.
Amla starred for the Proteas with a classy 104 in Brisbane before skipper Graeme Smith made him bowl two overs of his ungainly right-arm rubbish as Australia amassed 5(dec)-565.
Asked if he rated his off-spin highly, the batting technician deadpanned his way to raucous laughter.
"Mmmm. I was a bit upset with Graeme when he took me off," he told reporters.
"I put some work in the nets. I studied the book for the exam and I was writing it, getting into a rhythm.
"But Graeme thought he would rest me the next game ... maybe."
A super-relaxed Amla also enjoyed his own laugh during the Gabba Test as he was targeted verbally by Australia.
The 29-year-old had the giggles when a fired-up Peter Siddle vented his frustrations at Amla after a failed caught-behind appeal on a tense day five.
"I found it quite humorous," he said after making 38 and defying the hosts for two-and-a-half hours.
"Obviously the guys were a bit pumped up, thinking that I nicked the ball.
"I guess it is a bit funny when guys get emotional when there is no real need to."
