00:00On a cool October evening in 2007, under the glowing floodlights of Lahore Khazofi Stadium,

00:06a cricketing spectacle unfolded, etched forever in South African cricket folklore.

00:12It was the fifth and final one-day international between Pakistan and South Africa, a day-and-night

00:17clash filled with drama, nerves and brilliance, and standing tall among it all was L.B. Markle,

00:23the unsung hero of South African face-balling.

00:26After L.B. Markle brimming with intensity and purpose, balling a probing line and length,

00:32Markle struck at crucial intervals to break the spines of Pakistan's lawyer order.

00:36His victims included Shweb Malik, Sohail Tanvir, Iftahar Anjum, and Shweb Akhtar.

00:41With figures of 4 for 44 runs in 8.3 hours, L.B. Markle shattered Pakistan's resistance.

00:48The collapse was spectacular.

00:50Pakistan lost their last six-ficket for just 20 runs, going from a position of strength

00:55to being bowled out for 219.

00:57Let's rewind the clock and relive L.B. Markle's unforgettable spell, a shining chapter in South

01:03African face-balling history.

01:33419.945.

01:37So, the time to do is the new batsman.

01:41Gone!

01:43What a turnaround!

01:45Look at Graham Smith, he thinks there's hope here, there's stun!

01:49This was a good delivery, it was full, it was straight, and it swung, and it swung quite late.

01:55Put him on the foot.

01:57Put him on the foot.

02:03Joy for Graham Smith, joy for the South African side, they're right back in this game.

02:09Momentum has shifted again.

02:11A fitting climax to this five-match series.

02:15Seven wickets down now, Pakistan's still needing 25.

02:21219 fight.

02:23Did it carry, did it carry, there was a big edge, and he's given him!

02:29South Africa have been brilliant in the field tonight, they've fielded well, they've taken their opportunities.

02:41Keep bowling again, Albie Markle just getting a thick outside edge.

02:47Bausher dives to his right, and catch an excellent catch, the second terrific catch in a row.

02:53Oh, the change of ball for one of the few times, this change ball is swung more than the previous one.

03:03If the car gone for naught, 219 for nine.

03:07And you make a return to the international scene, and you pick up four for 43,

03:12you think that you've done the bulk of your work for the day.

03:15Cricket never lets...

03:17Five wickets have fallen for 20 runs in the last six overs.

03:22With the series finally paused at 2-2, both sides enter the decider with highest take.

03:38Batting for South Africa, posted a modest total of 232.

03:42Not nearly enough by modern standards, but challenging on a sluggish surface.

03:47Pakistan chasing 233 began steadily, and at one point seemed to have the upper hand.

03:54But the narrative took a sharp turn, as the South African baller, led by Albie Markle and

03:59Makhaya Antini, mounted a relentless assault on the home side's batting order.

04:04Makhaya Antini also played his part with four for 61.

04:08It was Albie Markle's spell that truly turned the tide.

04:11His proceedings under pressure ensured a 14-run victory for South Africa, allowing the visitor

04:17to seal the five-match series 3-2.

04:19A hard-fought, memorable win on Pakistan's soil.

04:22This was ODI match number 2642, officiated by Billy Bowden and Nadeem Gauri, with Razuddin

04:29as TV umpire, Salim Badr as the reserve umpire, and Alan Hirsch as the match referee.

04:34So as the crowd it fell silent and the protease celebrated, Albie Markle walked off the field

04:40with his head held high.

04:41His match-winning spell of four for 44 not only clinched the series but also carved out

04:46a special place in South African cricketing archives.
