00:17Hello, welcome to Centurion Park, Pretoria.
00:20This is the second of the limited overs internationals between South Africa and Australia.
00:24There'll be eight played in all, and the one yesterday went to the South Africans.
00:27This is a lovely little ground, it holds about 17,000.
00:31Behind me is the main grandstand, and Tony Gregg in a few moments will show you the vast
00:35hill that is also occupied by, well, probably about 10,000 or 12,000 people.
00:40Here at Centurion Park, and we've got a noisy crowd again.
00:44Here's Richie Beno.
00:45Thanks, Ian.
00:46Ian Chappell there with Lee Irvine, the former South African batsman, and a very good left-hander
00:50too.
00:50We'll be back here for the start of play in just a few moments.
01:05After a few moments, more than a few moments, I'm afraid, because the satellite went down,
01:10and play has just begun here at Centurion Park.
01:13Craig McDermott is the bowler, and the place is absolutely packed and buzzing.
01:18Similar type atmosphere to the one yesterday at Wanderers Johannesburg, and a similar situation
01:24because the South Africans have won the toss, and they have decided to bat.
01:29Craig McDermott, the bowler, Peter Kirsten, the batsman.
01:32We're just in the first over.
01:34The South African side, that is once again an extremely strong team.
01:43Two Kirstens, Hansi Cronier, Jonti Rhodes, Kepler Vessels, Evrian Caper, then Simons Richardson,
01:50Snell Matthews, and De Villiers.
01:52De Villiers who bowled that marvellous over just at the right time yesterday.
01:55And the Australians, the Australians are unchanged.
01:59They played well yesterday, only lost by five runs, but they just weren't quite good enough.
02:04They may be today.
02:07McDermott, Peter Kirsten take the strike.
02:10And in the commentary box, to start proceedings this morning, Tony Gregg, and alongside him
02:14is Ian Jack.
02:17Thank you, Richie, and a very good evening to all of you watching this telecast in Australia.
02:21It's a relatively cloudy day here, but a bit of a breeze, and a magnificent atmosphere once again.
02:28The Australians will be looking to rectify the situation that occurred yesterday.
02:32It was a bad one to lose.
02:34A couple of bad shots there.
02:35They wouldn't have been very happy with the way they went down, and I suspect they've got themselves together,
02:40had a little bit of talk about it, and they'll be looking to fix that today.
02:45McDermott charging away from us.
02:48And no ball called.
02:50And Pardidrick's there, and straightaway, Boone coming in there as well, looking for the run out.
02:56Has Kirsten gone and done something to his ankle there?
02:59So poor rifle.
03:01Way down the leg side, and that's a wide.
03:03Not a very good start for rifle.
03:05He had a bad start in Johannesburg as well, where he bowled a few no balls.
03:12Barbecues galore up on the hill.
03:15Breakfast, lunch, and supper, it seems to me.
03:18Whoa, and a little bit of a miss there.
03:19Well, a bad miss, actually, from Healy.
03:21That is off the thigh pad.
03:24Oh, and that throw whistled in.
03:27Oh, well bowled, and what did that hit?
03:29Just off the pad, I think.
03:30Healy dropped that one, too.
03:33Frustrated McDermott.
03:34That's the end of the over.
03:34Now we get to 20.
03:36Centurion Park.
03:41Oh, that's a good delivery.
03:42That nipped back quite a long way.
03:44Kirsten left it, and it was probably okay because it started quite wide,
03:48but certainly hit the seam, came back a long way.
03:50He's here at Centurion Park, just outside Pretoria.
03:54And decided to bat first, as he did yesterday at the Wanderers.
03:59The man who's been picked off by the South Africans.
04:02That's the third boundary, and they've all come from half bollies.
04:08Bathom, seeing Hansi Cronier, batted there yesterday and got 100.
04:11Good shot from Gary Kirsten.
04:23Well, the ploy of attacking Gary Kirsten's leg stump is working for McDermott.
04:28Good board.
04:31And once again, straight in the field.
04:33Bit of bad luck there for David Boone.
04:35It was the damp ground that stopped him.
04:37He was starting off to go down for it, and couldn't make it.
04:41This is McDermott.
04:47Beautiful place.
04:51Whatever Peter Kirsten has done overnight, it's worked.
04:54He should keep doing it.
04:56Once again, the field is slipping out there.
04:58There's been a lot of rain around here.
05:00And the outfield with the heavy dew as well.
05:04And it's looking good.
05:11He's going to tie me again.
05:20I would say that's part of the plan for McDermott.
05:22He's got him off the seam as well.
05:25And then it's swung back after it's gone on its way to Ian Healy.
05:31Good reason for players sitting in the pavilion not to watch television.
05:35Extremely well yesterday at the Wanderers.
05:41Caught.
05:44Super catch.
05:45He's a very, very good gully fielder, Steve Waugh.
05:49He's developed in that position in the last couple of years.
05:52He can field anywhere.
05:54Generally, they'll have him out of cover.
05:56But in catching positions, he has a very, very safe pair of hands.
05:59So it's a fine catch.
06:01And a good piece of bowling there by Glenn McGrath.
06:03Just angling that one across the left-hander.
06:05So after a good day at the Wanderers, he started well here at Centurion.
06:09It's one for 45.
06:16Caught there.
06:17And it's one for 49.
06:20Just in a couple of games we've seen.
06:28That's what confidence does for you.
06:30A century yesterday for Hansi Cronje.
06:33And that ball struck extremely well.
06:35It did go in the air.
06:36But when you're in form and you're confident,
06:39the shots always seem to go between the fielders when you hit them in the air.
06:52It didn't hit anything.
06:56The gauge that it went through unscathed by the fact that the Australians were merely offering a polite inquiry.
07:06Cut a mile, that one.
07:14He's beaten the field again.
07:16That'll be disappointing for Glenn McGrath.
07:19It wasn't about over, but Cronje has taken two boundaries.
07:21And it's now one for 58.
07:26How extraordinary it is.
07:27It's the second breakthrough for the Australians.
07:3058 on the board.
07:32Yeah, dragged it back on.
07:34It was a good out-swinger and away cutter.
07:36And Peter Kirsten has gone.
07:38After those two boundaries, a little setback for the South Africans here.
07:42Two down for 58.
07:43Peter Kirsten bowled by McGrath.
07:45McGrath has both wickets.
07:51Well, War striking there.
07:53Good delivery, that one, too.
07:54Nagging length just outside off stump.
07:57And that long fingers of his right down the seam.
08:04Nicely played again.
08:05Right over the top of it.
08:06Cuts it away down towards the third man boundary.
08:10So, six runs off that over.
08:122.79.
08:15Two down for 81.
08:17Mark Waugh continuing.
08:18And that one wide of border.
08:20It could have gone to hand.
08:21But it was just a little wider then.
08:23Boy, did that hit the meat of the bat.
08:25It's gone flying past backward point.
08:27Again, a four.
08:31Well, this was a front foot slash that could have been anything.
08:35And nearly was out.
08:37But once it had cleared gully, there was never any other prospect than four.
08:41Like a bullet.
08:44What I can say about the South African-Mexican wave.
08:49Is they don't persist with it too much.
08:51And they don't throw pieces of paper all over the place.
08:53Which is really good news.
08:55I've seen on occasions in Australia where we've had all sorts of problems with bottles and cans and paper.
09:02Not only causing problems too.
09:08One played out on the offside.
09:09The most incredible battle.
09:19Just about taken up from where he left off it.
09:23Once again, rifle being punished here for over-pitching.
09:26He hasn't learned from Glenn McGrath, who really bowled a super line in length.
09:30And that ball a half worked out a counter.
09:44They'll be setting themselves a target slightly higher than yesterday's.
09:46It was a good effort, but once again, they'll pick up three.
09:56They don't want it to.
10:09Oh, very wise to send him back to Kanji Kroenje.
10:18Off the edge and into the gap.
10:19That's his half century.
10:20It's running down towards the boundary.
10:22Jones may get there.
10:23Yes, he will.
10:25And Kroenje back to the third.
10:29So Hansi Kroenje has gone past his 50 and everyone out of their seats.
10:35That's the end of the over.
10:36It's two for 142.
10:37Those good times over four miles.
10:40So he's hit this high.
10:41It's going way over the top.
10:43It's a magnificent six from Kroenje.
10:46That's gone about ten rows back way up onto the hill in front of the scoreboard.
10:50Well, we saw him do this yesterday at the Wanderers.
10:53I think he really decided he was going to go for this one.
10:56And as it left Warne's hand, he was down the wicket and heaved it over the wicket.
11:00This is a magnificent shot by Hansi Kroenje.
11:04He's got such glorious timing and he's a strong man.
11:07Heave it up his sleeve yet.
11:11Oh, big appeal.
11:12Yes, got him.
11:13Out of the W.
11:14That was a flipper.
11:15Well bowled Shane Warne.
11:17Well, we haven't seen John T. Rhodes nailed by Warne very often, but he was well and truly nailed on
11:23that occasion.
11:24The words were hardly out of your mouth, Tony.
11:27And he produced one of those bags of his, those little trick balls.
11:31And I don't think John T. read that one.
11:33And he has read him so well most of the time, better probably than anyone else in the South African
11:39side.
11:39He didn't do so there and it's three for 152.
11:44Kepa Vessels, the South African captain.
11:46Big moment for him out in the centre now, replacing.
11:54Vessels has got that one away and a big cheer for him here.
11:57McGraw is having to chase it.
11:58It's running down towards the boundary.
11:59This will be four to Vessels.
12:01And that will take the pressure off him a little bit.
12:05But we've shown you the first shot again from Vessels.
12:08He's hit that one through extra cover.
12:10This will do him no end of good.
12:11A magnificent cover drive.
12:13That's exactly the place not to bow to him.
12:15He absolutely loves him in that area.
12:17And just have another look at this shot.
12:19It really is lovely timing.
12:21Well, it just goes to show that he has got the shots.
12:24And we know that.
12:25And one wonders why sometimes he's so reluctant to play them.
12:29That was a classic cover drive by the left-hander.
12:35And...
12:37There it goes again.
12:38Over the top.
12:44And once again...
12:48Got him.
12:49He's gone.
12:50Healy has taken the catch down.
12:51McGraw deserves that.
12:53He's bowled well again here today.
12:57And that's for the superb young bowler.
12:59I think Australia's got to find here for a long time.
13:02And particularly on wickets which give him a little bit of bounce.
13:06Three for 2.03.
13:10Three wickets for Glenn McGraw.
13:13And Adrian Caper is the man who will be facing him in just a moment.
13:17Comes out now.
13:18The fall of Kepler Vessels' wicket.
13:20But more solid.
13:21And be more consistent as a result.
13:27They've got two there.
13:30Nicely placed.
13:40That's over Shane Warne's head.
13:42And that is a very good indication of what a tremendous striker of the ball Adrian Caper is.
13:47That's the longest part of the ground.
13:51All the David Boone fans out there.
13:54They even want to look alike and dress alike.
13:57Here's Glenn McGraw.
14:00And here's the batsman.
14:02Just out of Boone's reach.
14:08Four for 200.
14:16Yes!
14:19Caper doing his part here for South Africa.
14:22Hitting a 6 and getting a couple of 2s.
14:25Big over there is 12 runs.
14:27Over number 46.
14:29That was the best over.
14:30A couple of 11s there.
14:32Over number 42 and number 4.
14:33Inside each other.
14:38Border.
14:39And he's hit him.
14:40And the umpire Liebenberg is calling for the replay.
14:44But Hunze isn't even hanging around.
14:47He's decided it's out.
14:48So the accuracy of Border has foiled the second consecutive century for Hunze.
14:55Brad fielding this by Border.
14:56Needless watch him swoop on this.
14:58Gathered himself and whack.
15:00Down she goes.
15:01Out by a couple of feet at least.
15:04The umpire then called for the replay.
15:06And I think Hunze just whispered in his ear.
15:07Don't bother about that.
15:08I was way out.
15:09So.
15:10The end of Hunze Cronier.
15:12A couple of magnificent days.
15:14Out run out for 97.
15:24Well that's well hit.
15:25That's over the boundary road.
15:29Magnificent six.
15:29Set all out of their seats here.
15:31There's still a ball to go.
15:33And that's even got Mike Proctor up and in.
15:35Out of his seat as well.
15:37So a lovely shot from Adrian Caper.
15:39Not a very good ball from McDermott.
15:41Watch it.
15:42It's short.
15:42And so he got underneath it.
15:44It was angling.
15:45I suppose.
15:46Just down leg stump.
15:47And he just heaved it over.
15:48The boundary at mid-wicket.
15:55This is a lot of bottom hand and a lot of strength about Adrian Caper's batting.
16:00But it's worked.
16:0235 for Caper.
16:03Caper off just 20 deliveries.
16:09Well hit again and that's out of the ground.
16:12Magnificent hit from Caper.
16:13So he has finished in fine style.
16:16And in fact he's got a bonus.
16:18Umpire Liebenberg is standing there with the arm out.
16:20So Caper was heading for the pavilion.
16:23Now he's got a bonus.
16:25Yes they're dancing in the aisles.
16:28Well 20 runs of this over so far.
16:31A disastrous over for McDermott in Australia.
16:35And Middorf's way back there.
16:37He's really got to get it right up in the block hole.
16:39This one you see just a little bit short.
16:41He got underneath it.
16:41A lovely shot.
16:42He'd given himself a little bit of room.
16:44High and way over the top of Middorf.
16:47Lovely shot.
16:48Last ball.
16:48Perhaps.
16:53And that's gone as well.
16:55That's hit many a mile.
16:57So he's finished it in grand style Adrian Caper.
17:0326 runs off the last over.
17:06And Craig McDermott grabs his cap from the umpire.
17:10And walks off in disgust.
17:11But what a finish for Adrian Caper.
17:1447 for Caper.
17:16Four sixes.
17:17Two fours.
17:18And 22 balls faced.
17:21Yes 47 of 22 balls.
17:23You can't ask for more than that.
17:24An absolutely magnificent gem of a hand he played.
17:27And so they've managed to get their score up to 265.
17:32Off the 50 overs.
17:34And that's 33 better than yesterday.
17:36That score built around a magnificent innings once again from Hunzi Cronier.
17:41With 97 following on.
17:43Australian bowlers suffering.
17:44McDermott in particular suffering there at the end.
17:47None for 46 from 10.
17:49With 26 of them coming off the last over.
17:52Paul Rifle.
17:53Not a good day for Rifle.
17:55Eight overs for 50.
17:57And six at a rate of 5.32 per over.
18:01So join us at Centurion Park for that run chase.
18:11Centurion Park, Pretoria.
18:13The scene of another great cricket day.
18:16Yesterday at the Wanderers we had a wonderful match.
18:18Today the South Africans have carried the attack to the Australians.
18:21And they've set them an enormous target.
18:26266 to win.
18:285 for 265.
18:29And that's what is being asked of them.
18:32That is a very, very difficult task I can assure you.
18:35And the run rate required is 5.32.
18:41Boone and Taylor are the men starting it off.
18:43To Villiers for South Africa.
18:4922 balls.
19:00If Dean Jones is vulnerable early in his innings, it is to the away swinger.
19:05Generally bats out of his crease.
19:07Ball moving away sometimes poses a problem.
19:16Well placed.
19:17Won't go for four.
19:18Even though the outfield has quickened up.
19:20But they'll pick up two there.
19:22And it's one for 40.
19:25Terrific game of cricket.
19:29Two there.
19:31Quite a comfortable two for Dean Jones.
19:49And that's the end for Dean Jones.
19:51He looked as though he was trying to get down the track to Craig Matthews.
19:55Just at first glance it looked as though he then propped.
19:59Got an inside edge.
20:02Yes, he sure did.
20:03And he'd be very disappointed with that.
20:05He's been quite patient out there.
20:07By comparison with his normal format.
20:10And a big roar went up in this stadium when he was gone.
20:13Because they know how dangerous he is.
20:15And Matthews doing the damage.
20:17This is the delivery.
20:18Dips back a little bit.
20:19Little inside edge there.
20:20And back goes the middle and off stump.
20:23So Matthews has struck for the second time.
20:25This time Jones is out.
20:26It's two down for 19.
20:30Dean Jones is gone.
20:31Mark Waugh is the man in the centre now.
20:34Played well yesterday until there was a little bit of rush of blood.
20:39And today he has the task of rescuing the situation from two for 19.
20:50Out to LBW.
20:55Umpire Liebenberg has given Mark Waugh.
20:58LBW's second ball.
21:00There is pandemonium around this ground.
21:02And Craig Matthews has two wickets in the one over.
21:05Mark Waugh has a duck.
21:08And the crowd have euphoria.
21:11Yes, this is an interesting one.
21:12I thought he got outside the line.
21:13Did he?
21:14No, he didn't.
21:14But was it going down the leg side?
21:17Well, he was just forward there.
21:20Interesting to see that one again.
21:22Anyhow, it doesn't really matter.
21:23Waugh's not too happy about it.
21:25He's out.
21:27And he's out LBW without scoring.
21:30So it's three down for 19.
21:32Waugh's finished.
21:33Another one is about to start.
21:35Steve Waugh is in the centre now joining Mark Taylor.
21:38And it's three for 19.
21:41Craig Matthews, two wickets in the over.
21:45I did say earlier the crowd was pretty much on their toes.
21:50On their toes and clapping their hands at the moment.
21:58Good over.
22:00Bowled it very well.
22:01As Tony Gregg pointed out earlier, he's moving it around off the seam and a bit in the air.
22:06To Taylor quite sharply and late.
22:14I think Taylor has a small problem there.
22:22Not the first time in this innings he's been very close to a run out.
22:27And this is the way it happened.
22:31A very risky single.
22:33Once again, the fieldsman is going in the right direction at the stumps.
22:37He has the chance to look and line up the targets.
22:41And Craig Matthews has hit the target spot on.
22:44And I think that Mark Taylor will get his marching orders.
22:48Certainly the crowd have seen a replay and they think that he should be given his marching orders.
22:52I think you'll shortly hear a big roar.
23:00And in fact, even though the umpire was in the way, you can see the bails in the air
23:05before Mark Taylor's bat had reached the crease.
23:08And so the crowd have been given what they were buying for.
23:12Mark Taylor's wicket.
23:13And it's now four for 34.
23:18There's big problems for the Australians here.
23:21Four for 34 at the moment.
23:23Eric Simons is the man coming in.
23:25Still in his second over.
23:28Steve Waugh is the man taking strike.
23:31Alan Bautner is the new batsman.
23:33And the run out was brilliantly affected there.
23:36Inclined at the moment.
23:38Not a pretty sight.
23:46So, what can Alan Bautner, the Australian captain, do?
23:52Oh, and straight away he smashed that one over the top of the infield.
23:55Didn't quite middle it.
23:56I think he was a little bit surprised at the pace of that one.
24:00Magnum.
24:04Is it that one in the air?
24:05This is going to be out.
24:06No, he's misread it down there.
24:08Well, it went high in the air.
24:11And the fieldsman down at third man, just for a second, looked as if he'd lost it.
24:17Simons is down there.
24:19I think this happened last night as well at Wanderers.
24:22On the top edge.
24:24Went finer than that.
24:25But he didn't pick it up.
24:27Nor did he there.
24:28It would still only have been a half chance and a full pelt.
24:32But even so, he...
24:38Maybe, maybe.
24:39Have a look.
24:40That's beaten Finelegs.
24:42Pretty good shot.
24:43Sweep shot off the quickie.
24:46Well, he really hit that very hard.
24:48He swung it at lustily and got lots of bat on it.
24:52And the man down there at Finelegs seemed to be just a few metres off the ropes.
24:57And was late in getting around and trying to cut it off.
25:00Eventually, he was running after it rather than around to cut it off.
25:08That's well hit.
25:08That's six.
25:09Second six for Steve Waugh.
25:12Doing exactly what Australia require.
25:20It's four for 80.
25:21Taking that last delivery from Eric Simons way over mid-wicket.
25:25And that brought up the 50 partnership.
25:28And if this gentleman had been at North Sydney Oval for a Mercantile Mutual Cup match,
25:32it would have won $100.
25:33The gentleman there in the white shorts taking the catch.
25:37Mid-off being pushed back now.
25:44Steve Waugh timing the ball beautifully.
25:46And it's a great shot.
25:47Yes, that's as good a shot as we've seen all day.
25:49We've seen some mighty blows from people like Adrian Caper.
25:52And indeed...
25:52...holding again.
25:55Yes!
25:56But he's lost that little nip that he used to have off the track in particular.
26:01He can still produce the odd, very awkward ball to play.
26:04But generally...
26:05It's a good time.
26:06They've been narrowing the gap.
26:09But the problem is that they've lost the two more wickets.
26:14That's the problem for Australia.
26:18Steve Waugh once again.
26:20Tremendous timing.
26:24Well, the moment that he...
26:31Borda placing it nicely to pick up the extra run.
26:34Steve Waugh is looking at three.
26:36So they're calling to go to Borda's end.
26:38But the throw is wide.
26:40Even then, Borda was still dead if Hansi Cronje had hit the stumps.
26:46And certainly he would have been dead if he had hit a hitling.
26:49He certainly fancied himself as a bowler.
26:53Borda once again looking for that...
26:55The short of boundary there at mid-wicket.
27:01No ball called this time.
27:05And this is packed away by Waugh.
27:07Gary Kirsten can get around the boundary.
27:13And again, not a very good over from Adrian Caper.
27:17Now he's had to bowl for near and Caper.
27:21Beautifully hit.
27:22That's six.
27:24That's...
27:26I've said many times, Alan Borda was a very good baseballer.
27:29That's a home run to right field for Alan in baseball parlance.
27:35This is a tremendous shot.
27:37I mean, it really is.
27:38It doesn't get up very high and goes very quickly over the boundary.
27:43Borda.
27:44It's 38.50s.
27:47One of them needs to get 100.
27:49And certainly the way they're going at the moment,
27:52they're looking very good.
27:53Two more there to walk.
27:56And that, I think, brings up his 14.50 in one day international.
28:16So it's 54 balls for that 50.
28:22Once again, going for that short boundary.
28:24It's landed just in front of the road.
28:30Well, just getting away from South Africa a little bit now
28:33with these two slog bowlers, as it were, on at the moment.
28:38And Steve Waugh and Alan Borda making hay.
28:48Steve Waugh hit two sixes before he hit a four.
28:51Well, concentrating mainly on the onside in this innings.
28:55Certainly his bigger hits have come on the onside.
28:59Also contributed to that concentration of runs on the onside.
29:08Australians continuing to score well.
29:10It's four for one, 28.
29:11Exactly that.
29:13Kepler Vessels has got to get a wicket.
29:15One wonders whether Kepler Vessels is really all that aware,
29:19and the bowlers for that matter,
29:20that Australia are ten runs to the good at this stage.
29:30Adrian Caper, a third man.
29:35Australia, who are lagging behind the position now,
29:38Lee Irvine and Tony Greig.
29:42Thank you, Ian.
29:43Yes, a great partnership this has been.
29:47It's absolutely amazing how often Stephen Waugh
29:50is involved in a fight back for Australia.
29:52Bill.
29:56Oh, is it the subject?
29:58Oh, unlucky that is.
30:01Well, when it's not going for you,
30:04that's the way it is.
30:05Alan Border has been playing so well
30:07in a magnificent straight drive there.
30:09The ball deflecting off Snell's fingers onto the stumps,
30:13and of course Border was out of his ground.
30:15He hit that ball with incredible power,
30:18and really, Richard Snell,
30:19I didn't think he was even going to get the time
30:21to put his hand up,
30:22but he did.
30:22It nicked the fingers and then straight down onto the wickets.
30:25The power of that shot
30:28just touched the hands and deflected onto the stum.
30:30And how lucky for South Africa
30:31and very, very unlucky for Alan Border.
30:36Four for 141.
30:42It's a five down for 141 now.
30:45Border out.
30:46I suppose unluckily so.
30:48That was a very, very firm drive back at the bowler.
30:53Oh, Healy's the new batsman,
30:54and what a start.
30:55Straight down the ground.
30:56A magnificent shot straight into the fence.
30:59Healy doing what he does so well.
31:01A lovely straight drive.
31:02And it looks like he's really,
31:04he heard me talking about him
31:05and is trying to prove me wrong.
31:06Superb shot,
31:07even though it was a half volley.
31:08But first ball,
31:09you don't often get one through the field
31:11as well as that.
31:13It's a lovely straight drive there.
31:18It's in the air.
31:19This could be out.
31:19Will it be short?
31:20No, he's gone.
31:21He's escaping.
31:23Well, Healy has come in
31:24knowing that he's got to go for it.
31:26He's chipped that one high in the air
31:28down towards wide mid on.
31:30And Caper has run around
31:31and taken the catch.
31:33Well, what a blow this one is now
31:35for Australia.
31:39Yes, when it's going for you,
31:40it goes for you.
31:41And really, that wasn't a bad shot either.
31:43But just early in his knock,
31:45Adrian Caper bowling one slightly across him
31:47and Gary Kirsten running around
31:48the mid-wicket boundary,
31:50picking it up quite low,
31:51but comfortably in the end.
31:57Five for 145.
32:09Caper the bowler.
32:10And that one's just short of a length.
32:13Well, the batting card now
32:15doesn't look quite as good
32:16as it looked a little while ago.
32:17Two quick wickets there.
32:18Border out for 41
32:19and Healy caught by Gary Kirsten
32:21off the bowling of Caper
32:22for four.
32:23Caught it just above the surface.
32:26Well, and this could be out.
32:28Oh, he's missed it.
32:29I don't believe it.
32:31These South Africans
32:32have got to all be cross-eyed.
32:34That was really silly as well
32:35because Jonte Rhodes
32:36had run up to the wicket.
32:37All that Dave Richardson
32:38had to do
32:39was flick it to Jonte Rhodes
32:40and the batsman was still out.
32:44The batting was still out.
32:46Let's just watch this now.
32:47That one's picked up there.
32:48It's fumbled.
32:49They go for the run
32:50and have a look at Caper
32:51watching that one
32:52and it's missed by
32:54three or four inches perhaps.
32:55The confusion also
32:57was increased by the fact
32:58that Adrian Caper
32:59shouted for LBW.
33:05It's over the top two
33:06trying to work that away
33:07on the onside.
33:08They'll get two there.
33:09Stephen Waugh now moves on
33:11to 63
33:13off 70 balls.
33:16Stephen Waugh on strike now.
33:17He'll be looking for
33:19another boundary or two.
33:22Oh, beautifully hit
33:23over the top of extra cover
33:24running away down
33:25towards the boundary.
33:26He really is playing beautifully
33:27right off the meat of the bat
33:29and right into the gap.
33:31Outstanding shot.
33:33Yes!
33:36Oh, he's hit them.
33:37He's hit them.
33:37Yes, he's hit them
33:38and the batsman was home.
33:40They're all asking the question
33:41and they're all suggesting
33:43to the umpire
33:43that he should call for the replay.
33:45This is called intimidation.
33:47The umpire's taking
33:48absolutely no notice of him.
33:51Just flicked the stump there
33:52and the South African players
33:54all carrying on
33:55like pork chops out there.
33:56Unbelievable.
33:57And the only reason it could be
33:58is that perhaps
33:59he didn't ground his bat.
34:00He seemed to be comfortably there
34:01but maybe the bat wasn't ground.
34:03I don't know what's going on.
34:04And why they were
34:05look at that
34:06almost past the wicket.
34:12Oh, that's gone straight
34:13down the ground
34:14and that'll stay ahead.
34:15Lovely shot
34:15and right up onto the grass.
34:17So another six.
34:18Stephen Waugh is playing
34:19a little gem
34:20of an innings out here.
34:21Hopefully it's not
34:22from an Australian point of view
34:23that it's hoping
34:23it's not going to be wasted.
34:2477 he scored
34:26and he scored them
34:26in really quick time.
34:28And immediately
34:28after that superb shot
34:30didn't seem to be
34:31anything wrong with it
34:31but he looked at his bat
34:32as though he'd miss hit it
34:33or else the bat was broken
34:35and then
34:37quite happy
34:38to wave
34:39his teammates away.
34:43Yep.
34:43Cats
34:45runs nicely
34:46played away
34:46on the onside now
34:47so Rifle making
34:48a contribution here as well.
34:50It's very important
34:50that he keeps them
34:53keeps the runs
34:53coming as well.
34:54So he's done.
34:55Off stump
34:55and just outside
34:56short of length.
35:00It's into the gap
35:01nice he played as well
35:02so
35:03back for the second
35:04this will be close
35:05down at Rifle's end
35:06he's running for it
35:07again the throw's wide
35:08and Rifle's home.
35:12It's a full toss
35:13they'll go for two there.
35:15That's what happens
35:16every now and again
35:17the old Yorker gets
35:20just slightly out of control
35:22it can be a full toss
35:23and that was quite well
35:23played by
35:25Paul Rifle.
35:29In the air
35:30and that's it
35:30caught mid-wicket
35:32so Rifle trying to
35:33heave that one over
35:34the infield
35:35hits it straight
35:36to mid-wicket
35:39and
35:39Simmons has made
35:41the catch
35:42so De Villiers
35:43has not only
35:44brought the
35:46scoring rate
35:47to a grinding halt
35:48but he's also
35:48got rid of Rifle
35:49and a pretty
35:51straightforward catch
35:51there
35:52to Simmons
35:53so
35:53the end of Rifle
35:55and the score now
35:55is 6
35:56for 174.
36:04Shane Ward
36:05is the new batsman
36:05and he's no mug
36:07with a bat either
36:08he can score a few
36:10runs
36:11oh and on the fall
36:13might have been a bit
36:13of bat in that
36:14he'll have to keep
36:14an eye on the umpire
36:15nope
36:15no bat
36:16leg buys
36:17just slipping down
36:18the leg side

36:34right now
36:35oh that's out
36:36WBW
36:37surely
36:37big appeal
36:38there from
36:38De Villiers
36:39perhaps it was
36:39slipping on the leg
36:40side
36:40I don't believe
36:41he got a bit
36:41of bat on that
