Good win to South Africa.

Our bowlers were a bit average, cost us the game in the end.

Tait and Brackens misfields alone cost 5 runs which would have been interesting if they needed that off the last 3 balls. I think our batting in the middle overs was a little ordinary and the 10 overs by Hussey and Clarke were pretty poor.

The whole team was to blame, you could pick out little things throughout the game.......

Marsh batting to slow up the order? 79 off 90 odd balls......
Clarke and Hussey to slow?
Tait and Bracken's miss fields?
Average bowling?

ETC....

We choked under pressure more than they did. Morkel was outstanding. Warne kept saying during 20/20 just how well he can hit. That six down the ground was up there with the one Wasim Akram hit over the sightscreen at Adelaide Oval about 20 years ago...

If Akram had been using a bat as good as what Morkel was his six would have cleared the Morton Bay Figs :shock: :shock:

Agreed. That was the biggest hit I've witnessed.
