Herschelle Gibbs hit a sparkling century to lift South Africa to 317 for six in the fourth one-day international against Australia.The opener scored 110 off 116 balls and laid the platform for his team, who lead the five-match series 2-1, to post a daunting total.Gibbs and AB de Villiers, who stroked 84 off 74 deliveries, combined for a third-wicket stand of 136 as the pair took full advantage of the short length of the boundaries at St George's.Mark Boucher and JP Duminy added 65 runs off 45 balls for the sixth wicket to add impetus towards the end of the innings.Mitchell Johnson (two for 59) and Shane Harwood (two for 57), making his one-day international debut, were the pick of the Australian bowlers.The 35-year-old Harwood replaced Brett Geeves, who was unable to play due to a foot injury.
