AB de Villiers got caught by a ball which bounced twice

I've no idea how many times it happened in history. You might get out to a long hop or full toss but how on earth you get out to a delivery which pitches twice. It's weird and damn memorable. SA were in trouble in 1st Innings when 5th wicket went down for only 77. In came AB de Villiers and coasted to 45. Then Ashraful came to bowl his trademark long hops and full tosses but instead he sent one which bounced twice before reaching to the popping crease and de Villiers tried to crack it out of the park, looped it in the air and got caught. Ash was ecstatic as if he bowled that intentionally and de Villiers got puzzeled by the legality of the delivery. However he was given out and crowd erupted!
