South Africa vs. Australia-2nd ODI

[spell_check]

Well, can Callum reach 50? Bracken is not a bad bat.

Hauritz has come in at 9, Bracken must be next

Yes, and if they can keep this up without trying to belt it, a defendable total will happen.

[spell_check]

Although as I say that, a one bounce four from Ferguson ensues.

[spell_check]

Cricinfo has him on 48; the TV has him on 49

[spell_check]

But I think the TV is correct, well done Ferg.

[brod]

Australia 7/124
(36 overs)

Ferguson 50*
Hauritz 10*

[spell_check]

Bad luck there, there's some variable bounce happening now and that's what brought him undone.

[brod]

I should stop giving the score. Aussies have lost a wicket within a minue both times

[brod]

The 7th wicket partnership of 63 between Ferguson and Johnson is the highest for the 7th wicket by Australia in South Africa

[brod]

Bracken out for 5

Aust 9/129 (38 overs)

Parnell has 4 wickets

[brod]

Laughlin gets to face Steyn for his first balls of international cricket

[brod]

Laughlin gets to face Steyn for his first balls of international cricket

and off the mark with an edge past gully

[spell_check]

So, 130 runs to play with...not enough, but with enough pressure...

[brod]

Our lowest ever total batting first in South Africa

Only the second time Steyn has taken 4wi in ODI

[GWW]

130 isn't good but at least its partially respectable. If they were all out for 70 that would not have been good at all.

[brod]

When the Aussies scored their lowedt score in South Africa (93 in 2006) 9 days later they made 434 and lost again though

[NFC]

Well done to Ferg for reaching the half century.

[brod]

Johnson gets Gibbs for 2

South Africa 1/7 (3 overs)

Smith 5*

[Gozu]

Australia all out for 131

Ferguson 50 (83)
Johnson 30 (62)

Parnell 4/25 (8)
Steyn 4/27 (9.2)


South Africa 3/132

Smith 40 (48)
de Villiers 36* (42)
Kallis 31 (42)

Johnson 2/47

South Africa win by 7 wickets and level the series at 1-1
