South Africa 303/6 (50)
Australia 223 (50 ov)
South Africa won by 80 runs
Teams:
South Africa: Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla (captain), Jacques Kallis, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, David Miller, Mark Boucher (wk), Johan Botha, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
Australia: David Warner, Shane Watson, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke (captain), Mike Hussey, Steve Smith, Brad Haddin (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Johnson, Xavier Doherty, Doug Bollinger, Pat Cummins.
Watson is down on his haunches.
The back injury seems to have made a comeback, and he is walking off the field. He grabbed his left hip area immediately after letting the ball go. If he bats, he won’t get a runner
over 23 , Kallis plundered 11 runs
Kallis 70
Smith 50
7 runs from over 24
SA 134/1
Good over by Australia only 2 runs
SA 136/1 (25 ov)
142/2 Smith out reverse sweep touched his glove caught behind.
Smith to Smith, OUT, Smith reviews this, Steven that is. Graeme has once again tried that cute reverse-sweep, misses, Haddin and Steven go up immediately. Umpire says no. Smith reviews immediately. The replays suggest a tiny little noise noise as the ball passes the glove, but there is no visual confirmation in normal replays. The Hot Spot, though, confirms a touch on the glove, and off goes Graeme
GC Smith c †Haddin b Smith 57 (117m 69b 6×4 0x6) SR: 82.60
Doherty to Kallis, 1 run, OUT, more misjudgement from South Africa. After G Smith’s too-cute-by-half reverse-sweep, Kallis has run himself out trying a cute second. Tries the paddle sweep, the top edge clears the keeper, but has hardly crossed the 30-yard circle. Clarke from slip runs back and fields and hits the stumps direct. So far short is Kallis he might have been out had Haddin to collect and remove the bails
JH Kallis run out 76 (118m 88b 7×4 2×6) SR: 86.36
Hello,
Hope the Ama-blomme can get a decent total!
Doherty to du Plessis, OUT, he has walked past this one. This is superbly bowled.
F du Plessis st †Haddin b Doherty 12 (20b 2×4 0x6) SR: 60.00
@ grootblousmile:
lyk nou maar treurig
Shaun George’s first big decision in ODIs has been challenged. He has given Miller lbw. This is angled away, pitching appreciably outside off, then turns against the angle, seems to me to have hit him outside the line. George has given it, though. Hot Spot deliberates over an inside edge even before we get to check the line of it. There is a faint small minuscule white mark on the inside edge. Shaun George stands corrected
Gmpffff 172 / 4
Hear Amla was out first ball of the match… eishhhhh
15 Overs left…. now we need to bat like bezurkers!
@ grootblousmile:
Yeah that happens, missed the action , but he is not playing well with the captaincy burden on him
Miller going well… SA 19 off the 36th over
Great over for SA now on 17 of 5 balls
19 at the end
South Africa 193/4 (35.5 ov)
Australia
200 up after 36.2 overs
Miller is milking them
Jeeeez, Miller is really punishing them now
Current partnership 49 runs, 5.5 overs, RR: 8.40 (Duminy 5, Miller 29)
12 Runs from over 37
Lekker, man
Duminy must come to the party now….
Duminy is stopping this to be a brilliant partnership. He looks in poor form, he never convinced me , he was just been given a chance and every now and then he clings to his place with a decent score. Hard to pick between him and GS who is the luckiest player
Eish, just 3 from over 38
2 Overs left in the batting Power play
24 @ superBul:
Duminy tends to just work the ball around in stead of getting boundaries
Pitch looking consistent… need 300 PLUS
Double Nelson up after 40 overs
@ grootblousmile:
I have seen him hitting 3 or more 6,s hope his eye is in now and he starts hitting the ball around.
So by the way , you never expected that France would push the All Blacks that hard. You could see some fear in their eyes. Funny that southern Hemisphere refs blow more in favor for the attacking team and boy did the French attack in the second half.
29 @ superBul:
France surprised me!
