Sth Africans vs Canterbury, Tour Match at Christchurch, , Feb 15 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary

the action is all over at Hagley Oval as McEwan tried to hook a short ball on leg into the crowd at square leg but could only get it three-quarters of the required distance and Tsotsobe clutched it awkwardly to end an entertaining fightback

smears a full length ball on leg to wide mid-on

fired into the blockhole outside off and McCone can't get bat to ball

full outside off and on-drives nicely out to long-on, they thought of two but couldn't get back

fired into leg, charges down and tries to swing to leg, gets a leading edge through backward point

outside off and steered through third man

full outside off and eased to cover on the edge of the circle

gets forward to defend and sets off but there is hesitation and he goes back but can't beat the throw as South Africa have nearly ended the Cantabrian resistance

very full on middle in the blockhole and he tries to smash it down the ground, bat hits ground and ball goes through to AB who dives to take a one-hander, Henry waits and the third umpire concludes that Henry got bat to ball first

gets forward and blocks with soft hands into the off side with the fielders deep

full outside off and he misses the attempted slice to third man

South Africa are losing their composure here, it was fired in well down leg and he missed the heave but AB couldn't stop it with a dive either and it heads down to the boundary

bangs in the bouncer on middle and Henry goes after it and connects so cleanly with the pull that he sends it over the heads of the fielders in the deep at midwicket

another superb stroke from Matt Henry, full outside off and he gets under it and sends the ball packing over the third umpire's area at long-on

bangs in a short ball down leg as he came down the track, top edges the hook into open pastures at fine leg

full toss outside off which is slugged straight down the ground towards long-off

fired in full outside off, moves across and misses the flick, hits the pad and rolls away

comes down and mistimes the slog back to Theron

oh no, South Africa must have caught the catching virus from the Zimbabweans, he top-edged the hook high between square leg and deep midwicket who converge before both pulling out and letting it plop between them and roll away

full toss outside off, hits to cover and rushes off, puts in a big dive to beat the throw and bring up the 100 for Canterbury
