swinging down the wicket, top edge, Saeed is under it at mid off, what an important catch this will be, could Pakistan get back into it? DROPPED!
Pakistan vs South Africa, 2nd Super at Nottingham, Jun 05 1999 - Ball by Ball Commentary
South Africa won by 3 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)
what a win for South Africa, they did lie full low, graved in the hollow ground, but came back magnificently
the partnership of Kallis and Pollock was the match-saver, whilst the ever-dependable big hitting of Lance Klusener was the match winner
and so by beating Pakistan, South Africa prove themselves the equal of Bangladesh
presentations: Wasim... "I think Shoaib bowled a bit short in the ends... Moin deserves all the credit [for the target]"
Cronje looks a bit too miserable for a winning captain... "obviously with Lance at the crease we fancied our chances... the ways the guys crawled out of that showed tremendous character....."
Klusener is the Man of the Match: says his bat is a brand new one and that was a nice start for it
that's all for today from CI. Tomorrow's game is NZ v ZIM, only 7 months ago they had to face the ignominy of playing off against each other in the Wills International Cup for the right to be in the final 8, tomorrow it's a Super 6 match.
swinging on the on side, missing, leg bye into the covers
into the pads, Lance sends him back
back to the bowler, Boucher a little to keen to hit the winning runs
awful looking shot, but oh so effective, sweeping with the legs spread apart, manages to get it over the mid wicket and over the rope
launched low and direct over the mid wicket, another fantastic shot from Klusener, TV needed to confirm the 6
tucking it off the hip, not very well played
leaning back, but trying to play the cut way too close to his body, ball travels over the off stump
cutting behind the point fielder for just the 1
into the pads of the right hander, an appeal, but must have been pitching outside the leg stump
Wasim making a desperate last minute change, yanking Shoaib off
over the covers
poor long hop, but only pulled to the square leg
more tremendous hitting from Lance, the on drive
goes inside the batsman but missing the leg stump to the fine leg boundary, brilliant over for South Africa
stands his ground, and just hammers it over the mid wicket and into the crowd, what a powerful shot
