just clips the top of off stump and that is the ball game
SA A vs Bangladesh A, 2nd unofficial ODI at Paarl, Apr 21 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary
So that is it for tonight. Philander produced a superb spell to rip out the top order, and despite aggressive knocks from the experienced Junaid Siddique and Mohammad Ashraful, each scoring 39, there was little substance to the innings.
The tail wagged but it was more a case of batting practice than a real competition at the end. Philander has been named Man of the Match, and the series is now level at 1-1 as the teams proceed to Kimberley for the next match on Saturday.
Time for the CricInfo team in the Western Cape to hibernate, see you all next summer. Happy Easter to all observing this holiday.

didn't know too much about that one, and hits a catch to Rudolph at mid off, but it won't count
a stump high full toss, Syed Rasel did not even see it and played no shot
backs away again and this time does make contact, a mistimed drive to long on
defended back to the bowler his tosses it in the general direction of the stumps
backs away a mile and can't lay bat on ball with a wild swipe
backs away and the bowler follows him, perhaps he should have concentrated more on where his front foot was going
a bold hit, he almost cleans up his partner as he strikes it down to long on
Elgar strikes with his last ball, umpire Holdstock raising the finger as Farhad Reza misses a sweep
driven to long off
drives, a thick inside edge
bottom edge as he tries to sweep
pushed to leg side, quick running
cut behind point, the batting powerplay is taken by default
