RCB vs South Aust, 11th Match, Group B at Durban, Sep 17 2010 - Ball by Ball Commentary

That's it. Easy as they come. Back of a length outside off, Ferguson stays back, taps it softly into the covers and they take a single to finish a comprehensive win

faster outside off, Klinger stays in the crease and runs it down to third man for a single. One to win.

another really slow slower ball outside off, Klinger was in danger of doing a muscle the way he wound up to hit that! All is well though, carves it off the outside edge over point for a couple

and that, Ferguson says, is how you deal with a du Preez slow nothing bouncer. Slow and outside off, he waited and waited for it, and when it came, he whacked it with a horizontal bat through the covers. Creamed.

hits him on the pads, but it was sliding down the leg. Runs into the off side

not so short this time, he chooses to pull and again bottom edges it away towards midwicket

bouncer, not much pace from du preez, but catches the batsman by surprise. Bottom-edges the swat-pull to midwicket

back of a length, sluggish bounce and the backfoot punch goes without any timing to the cover fielder

angles in from outside off, tries to work it off the pads but can't connect

shorter outside off, opens the face and guides it in front of the point fielder for a single

slow leg-cutter from Vinay, this is abit of a Karnataka specialty thanks to that man Venkatesh Prasad. Beats the batsman but it is so slow, he adjusts to dab it to point

this time it is on his pads and he eases it off the pads behind square for a couple more

very slow bouncer - 108 kph. Ferguson was readying to play the cut, then it came so slowly that he had enough time to rethink plans and play a cross-bat pull down to wide long on

back of a length outside off, thinks of playing it but lets it go. Steep bounce

starts with a length ball outside off, he is down the track and scyhtes it over point towards third man. Picks a tight couple before Steyn's throw comes in

Looking PE, going Centurion that shot. Klinger opens up his stance and just looks for the sledgehammer swing, gets a thickish outside which takes it over the covers

uneven bounce outside off, Klinger tries to crunch the cut but gets a bottom edge that goes nowhere

more effort, very short, it takes off and Uthappa does so too to get it in the mitt. Called a wide

no idecision here! Ferguson leans out in fluid fashion and drives elegantly towards extra cover. Kumble runs across to his left in the infield and puts in the slide but can't stop the ball

Ferguson gets lucky, Agony for Steyn. Ferguson was expecting another shortish ball, but this was further up, and he ended up driving off neither foot, neither forward nor back. Good old lemon cut misses the stumps and hurries to fine leg
