Australia in South Africa ODI Series - 3rd ODI

South Africa v Australia

Australia won by 3 wickets (with 15 balls remaining)

ODI no. 3211 | 2011/12 season
Played at Kingsmead, Durban
28 October 2011 - day/night (50-over match)


South Africa innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
HM Amla*	run out (Cummins/†Haddin)	52	112	72	7	0	72.22
25.6 Doherty to Kallis, dabbed to short third man ... and this could well be run out! Amla had to hurry as the throw was fired in. They're going to have another look at this. The return from the fielder was bang on target, and Amla is short of his ground! Cummins was the fielder. He's got quite an arm 117/2
GC Smith	c Hussey b Doherty	19	60	36	1	0	52.77
13.2 great catch! This time Hussey makes it, and it's a blinder. Smith plays the sweep and doesn't keep the ball down. It skims towards deep midwicket where Hussey races in then dives forward 58/1
JH Kallis	c Marsh b Doherty	54	80	74	3	2	72.97
33.4 gone! Reward for Doherty and Australia. Kallis tries to break the shackles with a sweep and, like Smith, gets a top edge which, unlike Smith, goes high in the air before being well taken by Marsh inches from the deep square boundary 141/3
JP Duminy	c Ponting b Johnson	35	92	58	1	0	60.34
47.1 he strikes straight away, and a frustrated Duminy is caught close to the boundary at midwicket! He got a good connection on the slog to leg, but couldn't hit it far enough to get it over Ponting 205/5
F du Plessis	c Doherty b Cummins	21	41	28	2	0	75.00
42.3 du Plessis falls to an extremely slow slower ball! He was looking to play a shot into the off side but by the time the ball got to him his bat had swung round and instead he lifted it out straight to the man at deep square 185/4
DA Miller	not out	11	37	22	0	0	50.00

MV Boucher†	c Warner b Johnson	8	8	8	1	0	100.00
49.2 Boucher holes out to long off! He sliced right across the ball, and presented an easy catch to Warner 218/6
J Botha	not out	2	3	2	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 9, w 11)	20

Total	(6 wickets; 50 overs; 221 mins)	222	(4.44 runs per over)

DE Bollinger	10	1	43	0	4.30	(4w)

PJ Cummins	10	0	49	1	4.90	(2w)
42.3 to du Plessis, du Plessis falls to an extremely slow slower ball! He was looking to play a shot into the off side but by the time the ball got to him his bat had swung round and instead he lifted it out straight to the man at deep square 185/4
SR Watson	10	0	42	0	4.20	(1w)

MG Johnson	10	0	37	2	3.70
47.1 to Duminy, he strikes straight away, and a frustrated Duminy is caught close to the boundary at midwicket! He got a good connection on the slog to leg, but couldn't hit it far enough to get it over Ponting 205/5 49.2 to Boucher, Boucher holes out to long off! He sliced right across the ball, and presented an easy catch to Warner 218/6
XJ Doherty	9	0	33	2	3.66
13.2 to Smith, great catch! This time Hussey makes it, and it's a blinder. Smith plays the sweep and doesn't keep the ball down. It skims towards deep midwicket where Hussey races in then dives forward 58/1 33.4 to Kallis, gone! Reward for Doherty and Australia.

MJ Clarke	1	0	9	0	9.00


Australia innings (target: 223 runs from 50 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
SR Watson	b Kallis	49	60	46	6	1	106.52
13.3 chopped on! Kallis strikes, and Watson falls for 49. He was just trying to run this down to third man, but it seemed in to him, taking a thick inside edge and cannoning into the stumps. This could revive South Africa 78/2
DA Warner	c †Boucher b Morkel	10	29	18	1	0	55.55
6.6 gone! Morkel hits back. Angled across outside off, Warner was in two minds and in the end the ball runs off the toe end as he tries to leave 38/1
RT Ponting	c & b Botha	11	36	20	1	0	55.00
14.3 there's another one! A soft dismissal for Ponting. Botha floated one down on off stump and Ponting just popped it straight back into his waiting hands. South Africa are right back into this now 82/3
MJ Clarke*	b Duminy	26	54	39	5	0	66.66
25.1 first ball! What a start for Duminy. Round the wicket, full on the stumps, Clarke goes for a drive and gets an inside edge into his pads which then cannons into the stumps 130/4
SE Marsh	b Duminy	30	79	55	2	0	54.54
34.1 bowled him! Duminy strikes straight after the interval. Duminy arrowed one down at middle, Marsh gave himself some room but the ball rushed straight on and clattered into middle stump. Just 67 needed by Australia, this is going to get tight 156/5
MEK Hussey	not out	45	93	64	1	1	70.31

BJ Haddin†	c Kallis b Steyn	23	34	25	2	2	92.00
41.5 time for another twist?! Haddin couldn't restrain himself. He stood on leg stump and tried to clear the off side but picked out deep cover 194/6
MG Johnson	c †Boucher b Kallis	6	14	8	1	0	75.00
44.5 gone! This game refuses to die. Johnson chases a length ball outside off and gets an edge which carries low to Boucher. It was a good catch. 213/7
PJ Cummins	not out	6	12	10	1	0	60.00
