South Africa vs Australia, 1st T20I at Johannesburg, , Mar 27 2009 - Ball by Ball Commentary

and it's all over! Australia have thrown it away towards the end, full on the off stump and Boucher slogs it over midwicket for a boundary, the crowd goes wild, and the South Africans - on the field and in the dug out - are ecstatic.

starts with a horrific full toss on the off stump, it's bread and butter for Boucher who smacks it between deep square leg and deep midwicket for a decisive four

manages to finish a disappointing spell with a yorker on leg stump, dug out wide of midwicket for a single

Harwood's had a torrid time, short on the off stump, there to hit, Boucher pulls it away between long-on and deep midwicket, smashed to the boundary

full outside off, gets outside the line to paddle it fine, misses, is struck on the pads and they get a run

dropped, on middle and leg, goes for a mighty heave over square leg, gets the top edge and takes ages to come down, Geeves going back from short fine drops it but it;s a difficult chance, almost deflects it to the boundary but some alert fielding by David Hussey saves a run

goodish length on middle and leg, driven through the line to long-on

shot! Full outside off, Botha gets forward and drives that crisply through the narrow gap between extra cover and mid-off, beautifully timed

full on leg stump, swung in to strike him on the pads, they get a leg bye towards third man, would have gone down

good length on leg stump, turned away off the back foot towards fine leg, decide wisely against the second

short of a length outside off, cut away towards deep cover, firmly struck but straight to the fielder

wide down the leg side, only just though, short of a length on the leg stump and moved down, Botha let it go

an inswinging yorker, on middle and leg, dug out into the off side for a single

short of a length outside off, chopped down to point

Johnson has delivered the breakthrough! Slower ball bowled full on the off stump, Morkel is tempted to dismiss that into the stands once again, fails to connect well this time, lofts it really high and David Hussey takes a well-judged catch running in from long-off

low full toss on the off stump, steered behind point for a couple towards a diving third man

horrendous bowling by Hopes here, full toss on the off stump, Boucher has no trouble pulling it away between long-on and deep midwicket, another crucial boundary

length ball again but all he can manage this time is a single to long-off, Boucher on strike now, Hopes will be relieved

he's getting pulverized here, full and wide, Morkel makes room and steers it delightfully past point, third man had given up

Morkerl's gone berserk! Meaty length ball on the off stump, he's gets stuck into it, dispatches it miles into the crowd between deep midwicket and long-on, poor Hopes

sweetly struck, low full toss on leg stump, he picks it up superbly, drives it over the bowlers head for a boundary wide of long-on
