00:00Hello everyone, joining us for the first time from Cairns.
00:16Three-match, one-day series, Australia versus South Africa.
00:24Off and running here, Markram.
00:30Lovely push through the infield.
00:33That's class from Rickleton.
00:34First boundary of the day.
00:40Strong push from Markram.
00:42There's the class.
00:45The maiden Markram.
00:47His first boundary.
00:49Full ball, and this time it's through.
00:52So Markram just forcing it a little, getting a bit of width.
00:57And he gets his second boundary.
01:00Now, that short-arm jab down the ground, and with only two back, that is a boundary.
01:11Oh, and chipped up.
01:13And through.
01:16That was so straight.
01:17And that's going to go for four.
01:19That was effortless there for maiden Markram.
01:22That time a bit too much width, and Rickleton stands and delivers a boundary.
01:31So two boundaries now in this over.
01:33Uppishly through that backward point, Regent.
01:38And it'll just get to the rope.
01:41Adam Zampa couldn't get there, so another good boundary for South Africa.
01:45And gets that fine.
01:50And the fine leg is very square.
01:52So the 50 partnership up for South Africa.
01:55And another boundary.
01:56So a little bit expensive over here so far for Hardy.
01:58It's cut away nicely.
02:05And it'll be closed when it gets there.
02:07Goes to that lofted over the offside.
02:13He's got deep mid off and deep point.
02:15And that'll just get picked up on the inside from Manus Labashain.
02:20But it'll bring up the 50 for Aidan Markram.
02:24Good start this for South Africa.
02:26It's a really good partnership.
02:30Opening up.
02:32Chipping over.
02:35And look at this outfield.
02:37That was not off the middle.
02:39Once it got going, it was not going to be hauled in.
02:44It would have been against you as a batsman.
02:46On the charge.
02:47Chipped up.
02:47And this time out.
02:50Labashain takes the catch.
02:52And Head finally gets his man a little longer than he would have wanted.
02:58But Ryan Rickleton's innings comes to an end.
03:01So Rickleton goes.
03:02He shakes his head on the way off.
03:0433 for him.
03:05One for 92.
03:08And there go the free-flowing arms of Aidan Markram.
03:13Gorgeous shot over cover.
03:17Beautiful open face.
03:20And the chase is on now.
03:23Hazelwood lumbering.
03:24No chance.
03:26This is a quick outfield.
03:28That's a terrific shot from Markram.
03:31Jump outside the circle.
03:33Oh, pull.
03:34That's Pavuma.
03:35That's more like it from him.
03:41Gone.
03:42Finally.
03:44Doris just does it.
03:45And a bit of a letdown there for Aidan Markram.
03:47He's disappointed with that.
03:49He's done all the hard work.
03:50And just to tickle that through to the keeper as he walks off, he won't be happy.
03:54It looks like Bretzky is coming in.
04:01Goes for that.
04:02That's what they needed.
04:04It takes Bretzky to do that.
04:06Gets enough on it.
04:08Good momentum.
04:09Down the pitch and wide of mid on for six.
04:13That's through the gap.
04:15It was a wide delivery from Travis Head.
04:17But Bretzky did the right thing and put it away.
04:19The game's where Bengalis were bowled out quickly.
04:26So probably not a fair indicator.
04:28That's a shot that has...
04:29Well, it's gone all the way.
04:31The diving attempt there of Hazelwood in vain.
04:34And that's a boundary for Pavuma.
04:38Really forward.
04:39Square that one.
04:42It wasn't clinical, but it was certainly good enough for Bretzky.
04:48And sweeping.
04:49High.
04:51And high enough.
04:53Carey.
04:54Boy, he got caught in no man's land there as if he got done in by the light.
05:02Upish.
05:03Oh, just away.
05:06And on this fast outfield, that's another boundary.
05:10On the charge.
05:15Up and over.
05:17Spooning it down to the cover boundary.
05:20That's more like it from Timber Pavuma.
05:22Gets enough.
05:26Enough.
05:27Just over mid-off.
05:29Mitch Marsh can't get it.
05:31Flick the way.
05:32Flick the way.
05:37Fine.
05:38And that'll be his 50.
05:41Some very good batting from Bretzky.
05:43Got enough on it.
05:47Well placed.
05:48Pavuma at his best.
05:53Pushes it through.
05:55And that'll be Cam Green that met on.
05:59And I think he was just annoyed at that example of the ball before.
06:04Top edge.
06:05Goes up in the air.
06:06Fielder coming in.
06:07Should be taken.
06:08And it is.
06:10Aaron Hardy.
06:12Well deserved, Adam Zamba.
06:13Gave it a bit of air, didn't he?
06:15Forced the shot.
06:15Went, you know what?
06:16I'll take the risk.
06:17And the big shot.
06:17And it paid off.
06:19It's put his team in a good position.
06:2057 for him.
06:223 for 223.
06:23South Africa.
06:26Catch!
06:26Goes for that.
06:28Stubs and out.
06:30There you go.
06:32Cam Green takes the catch.
06:34Threw it up there.
06:35Travis Head.
06:37South Africa lose.
06:39Stubs.
06:39For a duck.
06:41But it brings in Brevis at 4 for 224.
06:46Gone for that straight away.
06:48Has he got enough on it?
06:50You betcha.
06:52Wow, there you go.
06:53That's the difference.
06:54You had Stubs.
06:55Had a half foley.
06:56Hit it straight to mid off.
06:58That one there looked like he got it high on the bat.
07:00And had enough power.
07:02And again.
07:04Straight.
07:04He gave it some air.
07:06And out.
07:07Straight down his throat.
07:09Alex Carey takes the catch.
07:11For a minute there.
07:12Travis Head was thinking, what have I done?
07:14But what he has done is taken the wicket.
07:17He faces two balls.
07:19Gets one over the rope.
07:20And gets caught on the rope next time.
07:215 for 230.
07:24Edged.
07:25And that's going to be a boundary.
07:28Handy boundary too.
07:29Yeah, I was looking forward to Brevis spending at least 20 balls.
07:35Stays down.
07:36Nice control stroke by Mulder.
07:38Oh, he got it in between Hazelwood and Hardy for a boundary.
07:44Handy runs.
07:45Spin.
07:46And squeezed away.
07:49It's a vacant area down there.
07:51And that's a very handy boundary.
07:53Beyond Mulder.
07:56Bolt.
07:57Big swing and a miss.
08:00May have been a bit of an inside edge.
08:03But Bovooma's excellent innings comes to an end.
08:05It's 6 for 2-6-6 in the 46.
08:10Bovooma out for 65.
08:14And an edge.
08:15The sparing dive from Inglis.
08:18Now that's not motoring, but it's quick enough.
08:24And that one does pierce through.
08:26Jeez, they needed this South Africa.
08:32Now that one is chipped up.
08:34Fielder.
08:35Yes.
08:36No problem for Cam Green.
08:40And Maharaj is gone.
08:41And Travis Head has 4.
08:45Good move.
08:46That's exactly the man they wanted on strike.
08:497 for 2-84.
08:52Maharaj departs for 13.
08:55On the charge.
08:57Oh, he caught it.
08:59No way.
09:01Head has flicked it back onto the stumps.
09:04At an acute angle.
09:05At an acute angle.
09:06Even for Travis Head.
09:08This would be ridiculous.
09:09This would be ridiculous.
09:09So, Brian Gorn, South Africa.
09:12eight wickets down and the new batsman will take strike.
09:16Oh, yes.
09:17Oh, yes.
09:19Big one.
09:20That hasn't got enough.
09:21That hasn't got enough.
09:21It has got enough by quite some margin.
09:25That is the way to finish.
09:26The way to finish.
09:27Vian Mulder latches onto the last ball of the innings.
09:32Very steady going for South Africa right from the get-go.
09:35Rickleton and Markram put them on the right track.
09:39And they look good for a total like this.
09:42Pretty much all 50 overs.
09:44They did indeed.
09:45And the platform laid by Markram and Rickleton.
09:4856 inside the power play.
09:49Then the middle.
09:51Controlled initially by Markram.
09:52Then Bavuma.
09:53And Bretzky with that brilliant half century.
09:56He looks a player of the future.
09:57The hitters came in and disappeared.
09:59Of the bowlers, Hazelwood tied at the top as always.
10:03Ellis good again.
10:05Travis Head took all the wickets.
10:06Zampa held to just one wicket.
10:10Needs to undo Head early.
10:12Has to bowl straight.
10:16Cool face of the bat.
10:17Quite the contradiction, Berger.
10:19It was an exciting two balls.
10:22And that beautifully placed.
10:25Punching through the cover region.
10:26So Travis Head on his way with a boundary.
10:29He needs to be part of a very famous victory.
10:32Oh, down the leg side.
10:34And that's going to be five wides.
10:38Well, the ball's swinging.
10:40That would have meant...
10:42Oh!
10:43Picked up.
10:45And sent over the mid-wicket rope.
10:48That beautiful uppish stroke there.
10:56He gave it the lot, Mitch Marsh.
11:02Thick inside edge.
11:03But he swings so hard that even the miss times go a long, long way along the ground.
11:08And that's another Mitch Marsh ball.
11:10Full.
11:13Full.
11:14And swatted up.
11:16One bounce.
11:17And another Mitch Marsh boundary.
11:22And a swat straight down the ground.
11:24And that could go close.
11:27Vavurma.
11:28No.
11:29No chance, Tim Vavurma.
11:33Chipped up.
11:34And over.
11:35And that's another boundary for Head.
11:39Australia really rolling here.
11:43Edged.
11:44Genuine edge.
11:45No slip.
11:46Four runs.
11:52Back.
11:53And he got it again.
11:54What an over.
11:55Five boundaries.
12:01Another change of pace, but he picks up on it.
12:04This is the off spinner.
12:06And jumped all over it.
12:07Mitch Marsh.
12:10Yay!
12:11Stumped.
12:12Beautifully bowled.
12:13He just held it back.
12:15Didn't turn.
12:16He did play for the spin.
12:17Played outside the line.
12:19Finally, they get a breakthrough.
12:20I think that's something to put in the memory bank for South Africa against Travis Head.
12:2427 from 24.
12:26Australia lose their first one.
12:27One for 60.
12:30Oh!
12:31Bit of turn.
12:32Oh, he's giving it!
12:34Wow!
12:35That surprised me.
12:36He might go upstairs there.
12:37He might have thought it pitched outside leg stump, but it did turn massively.
12:42If it is, this will be the 14th time he's been out to left arm spin in ODI cricket.
12:46Oh!
12:46Oh!
12:46Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:47Oh!
12:48Oh!
12:49Oh!
12:50Oh!
12:51Is that how it is?
12:53Wow!
12:54Maharaj got another one.
12:57As we said, Cam Green likes to give his stumps away, but if the ball turns, he's in trouble.
13:01And it did.
13:02That is huge.
13:03Cam Green goes to three.
13:05And Australia now three for 67.
13:09Bails in!
13:10Badly played from Inglis.
13:12And wasn't there.
13:13It looked like he was playing everything off the back foot.
13:15He pitched it up a little bit quicker.
13:18Bang!
13:18Another wicket goes down for Australia.
13:21Goes to five from nine in Australia.
13:24Four for 75.
13:26So, leg slip in place.
13:27Yeah!
13:28Oh!
13:28Hit on the pad!
13:29Close!
13:29Yeah!
13:30Out!
13:30Another!
13:32Mark Maharaj is having one of the great nights of his distinguished career.
13:38Alex Curry's going first ball.
13:40He doesn't miss too many sweep shots normally.
13:42This one's got under the bat.
13:46That's a demo!
13:48Just flipping it up.
13:50Turning a pancake, and he's got four.
13:54Yeah!
13:55Bam!
13:55Right through!
13:57Maharaj has his first one-day international five-foot.
14:01And he might be done by a long shot.
14:04Oh!
14:05Five for nine off 4.1.
14:08And the Australians, they're in deep trouble.
14:10Six for 89.
14:13Tossed up.
14:14Bit of width.
14:16A rare error for Maharaj.
14:17Just serving it up for Dorcious.
14:19Who can back.
14:21Foot.
14:23Back.
14:23Punching.
14:24And this one gets through.
14:28And that is the first four for a little while.
14:32And a half-centry for Mitch Marsh.
14:39And back through the infield.
14:41Beautifully placed by Marsh.
14:44And he's still going to run a ball.
14:46In fact, a little better.
14:50Whipped away into the deep.
14:52And into the gap.
14:53All played.
14:54That's taken six overs, that boundary.
15:01Starts with a boundary.
15:02Pretty good shot there from Dorcious.
15:04The ball wasn't that bad.
15:04This is a great partnership.
15:06This is a great partnership.
15:08Ooh, that's in the air.
15:10And...
15:11Back-to-back boundaries.
15:17Chipped up.
15:18Out.
15:19The wicket they needed.
15:21Brevis takes a sit-up.
15:23Stays down on Dorcious.
15:25And Andre Berger gets the breakthrough in this partnership.
15:32This very good partnership is broken.
15:34The seventh wicket's down.
15:36He's out for 33 from 52.
15:38The big partnership has been broken.
15:41Edging.
15:42Caught.
15:43Gone.
15:45Marsh is out.
15:47And Australia's best hope is gone.
15:50And that was a really clever bowl in there by Berger.
15:53An excellent 88 from Mitch Marsh.
15:59Oh, that's a four.
16:01That was a bit of a warm-up delivery there from the Gettys.
16:03Too wide.
16:04You know, he's got to get back into what Berger was doing.
16:06You know, he's an experienced campaigner, but this is, you know,
16:08this is where you put your foot down.
16:10In those places.
16:13That one's in the air.
16:14And over the top, way over.
16:18Having a good time at this, Nathan Ellis.
16:22That's close.
16:24Really close in Gibbon.
16:26I thought it might have been missing leg, but it was pretty well bowled.
16:30They've got to go upstairs, you would think.
16:32That guy's missing leg to me.
16:33But it was really well bowled from Nguyen.
16:35That off-spinner slow delivery.
16:36I don't think they're taking it upstairs.
16:38He's out for 14, nine down.
16:40Arnest took his review.
16:43Bowls in.
16:44Might have been an inside edge.
16:46They wrap it up, South Africa.
16:47They go one up in the series.
16:50And they win by 98 runs here in Cairns in the opening game of the series.
16:56It was indeed.
16:57South Africa, 296 on the ball when they batted first Australia.
17:01Not enough.
17:02Way, way behind.
17:03198.
17:04South Africa winning this opening game by 98 runs.
17:14South Africa, 296 on the ball when they batted first Australia.
