short mid-wicket and a short extra cover Macmillan there's no one down there
doing recognize that so he's just picked it away 45 degrees on the leg side for
two eight to win so it was well played by David Boone just waiting for the ball
to turn on to the middle of the bat and just rolling the wrists placing in the
way behind square
yeah
Gary Kirsten not frightened to flight the ball. Tossed it up quite a bit in this
match
short delivery and he's got that one away square that'll go for four into the
fence it goes. David Boone really does deal very severely with those short
deliveries hit it straight down into the ground and that's gone all the way along
the ground to the boundary for four so one for 87 now. Four runs needed to win
beautifully played pull shot by David Boone quickly getting into position
placing the ball beautifully
it's one for 87. First there was Landcruiser now this son of Landcruiser
one for 87 Slater 38 Boone 32 for to win this is going to be Cronier all that
kept low. Slater just managing to keep that one out. It's been the order of the
second innings really not one keeping low
that's the way to play them
few Australian supporters down in front of us calling for a boundary to finish
it off
they've got their Australian one-day shirt that they hold up and taunt to
particularly Alan Donald with
they've got their Australian one-day shirt that they hold up and taunt to
particularly Alan Donald with
it's well fielded by Hudson just one three to win all traveling in the air
for quite a few meters Hudson in the end did well to stop it
it's the end of Cronier's over one for 88. Let Caltech show you the difference
between a petrol
one for 88 Gary Kirsten on that straight down the ground it's in the air and this
is going to be into the fence and what's more it's the winning runs so the
Australians have won the second test match finishing it off in style and those
South Africans that are here very happy about that and there's Alan Borda
he'd be very satisfied with that when they went one more down they've now
leveled it with one to go. Michael Slater finishing it in fine style
exactly what the fans down where the ball was hit what they were calling for
he wanted a boundary and they got a boundary so the Australians have now
leveled it. Michael Slater remaining 43 not out with five boundaries the last one finishing the game
so a nine-wicket victory to the Australians and we go to Durbin for the
decider. Alan Borda pretty happy with that he's had a few problems getting
these low scores to win out on the centre today he said well we won't count any
chickens before they've hatched well they've hatched now and they are leveled
one all and that Durbin test match is going to be very very interesting indeed
it starts on Friday and we've heard that the South Africans are taking their same
squad up there that's the groundsman there shaking the hand of umpire
Shepard he's the English umpire who's been officiating this test match those
Australians very happy to quite a few groups have come down to Cape Town to
watch this test match and to come all this way and watch Australia win
especially after the loss in Janisburg would have pleased them very much
so Australia win by nine wickets and we'll be back in just a moment with
Richie Beno. For win for the Australians here to square the series a terrific
performance by Alan Borda's side it was a great fluctuating test match can tell
you one of the best I've seen in years the wondrous one was good I think this
one if anything was even better let's take you right back now to the way things
happen on day one first of all there was the toss for South Africa and they
decided to bat they made 361 a splendid century from Andrew Hudson 102 and he
faced just 175 balls there and other good performances from Peter Kirsten who
made 70 and Bron Macmillan who's been having some troubles with Shane Warner
and other Australian bowlers made 74 David Richardson 34 361 for South Africa
and you may have thought if you were a South African that that was a fairly
safe total the Australians 435 they had a setback or two but it was a consistent
performance all the way through David Boone made 96 he gets into the 90s well
with some regularity and a very fine knock that one 45 to Alan Borda and I
thought one of the best innings I've ever seen from Stephen War 86 from 164
balls and Ian Healy that partnership where Healy made 61 they put on between
them 108 from 203 balls faced then there was a collapse they really did go down
very quickly there five for 17 in 42 balls the Australians and that put the
South Africans back in the game well the fluctuation and all the funny little
bits weren't done with there because the South African second innings finished
on 164 the Australians had their lead of 74 runs and terrific bowling
performance from the Australians there 49 for Hudson in that batting lineup 27
for Rhodes today it was Macmillan and Rhodes who started off Macmillan out
straight away and then Rhodes and Richardson looked as though they might
have saved things for South Africa they put on 61 and then suddenly another
disaster another batting disaster with South Africa losing three for none in
20 balls Macmillan is the first man to go today he was the one who went in first
with Johnty Rhodes this morning first man to go at 103 what a big appeal then
he's got him LBW once again Stephen Warner struck that was almost identical
actually to the Hudson dismissal LBW there to Stephen War this will be
interesting now he doesn't look very happy very much in line and going
straight on an umpire shepherd had absolutely no hesitation that's out
always had a play that and caught behind yes he's on his way once again the umpire
not having to do any work there that was a really bad shot he's played so well
that one wide outside off start Richardson went after it and a quaint little nick so
McGraw has struck that is a crucial wicket they were playing so well
Richardson and Rhodes if either of them got out and they got out to a stroke
like that firm footed shot
brilliant catch straight away Richardson's gone and now Johnty Rhodes
look at Porter's face didn't enjoy that one he got himself perfectly placed and
boy is there a bit of chip going on there they stuck with war it was
straight he flicked it away on the onside and border took the catch here
it is now quite firmly flicked away have a look at borders positioning perfect
and he hangs on to that one boy and doesn't he enjoy it
up the stumps are down Stephen War has taken five for 28 and he took them when they really
mattered the old Australian flags are out here at the Newlands ground
Donald comprehensively bowled absolutely neck and crop and Stephen War has done a
good job here for Australia that's it off the pads and the stumps are
supplied in all directions terrific performance there from the Australians
three for none they took and just five balls for them to knock over the South
Africans there for 164 and the bowling figures for Australia they tell the
story with the two stars Steve War and Shane Warne Stephen War twenty two point
three overs nine maidens and five for 28 and Shane Warren three for 30 and 30
overs and 13 maidens McGraw one for 26 and there was the Kepler vessels run out
on top of that so the Australians needed 91 to win and that's the way their card
was one for 92 they won the game by nine wickets and the two batsmen in at the
end there Michael Slater and David Boone Slater was 43 not out David Boone 32 the
one man to go Mark Taylor bowled by Donald for 14 very good win for the
Australians and the one man out was Mark Taylor he was bowled by Alan Donald once
again an inside edge back onto the stumps
Alan Donald who hasn't bowled well but tempting Taylor into the cut we see the
ball not getting up all that much and has been the case with a number of
batsmen throughout the game the slowness of the wicket just confirmation
that that's the way the Australians finished one for 92 Slater 43 played
pretty well out there and David Boone the experienced player was there with
him at the end that'll be a big thrill for Slater and for Boone as well 32 not
out to the Tasmanian and one for 92 a win by nine wickets the bowling figures
for the South Africans Matthews none for 14 de Villiers none for 20 Donald the one
wicket taker he had one for 20 from five overs McMillan none for 23 Cronier none
for four and Gary Kirsten no wicket for 10 and I can tell you that Steve War is
the player of the match here and I'm not surprised after his performances and the
match coming up on Friday that's in Durban won all these two teams at the
moment and they're remarkably even in temperament skills and certainly in the
way they've been winning in Australia it was one all the Australians had to win
in Adelaide and here they've squared the series in the middle test match the one
here at New Orleans and down to Durban we go on Friday for the decider and that
should be an absolute beauty well now the highlights of today's play we're
going to pick up play in the eighth over it's 7 for 164 McGraw is the bowler
David Richardson is taking strike and he's on 31 Rhodes is 27 Richardson is
31 this is turning out to be a very useful partnership for South Africa well
big moves now beginning to loosen up perhaps he's got the word
he's gonna be doing a few exercises down there get himself nice and loose
because he'll have to make the break through the Dallin borders desperately
seeking at the moment
that would test the crowd standing behind him or sitting behind him at the
MCG they could do that one all right but the the tumble turn previous one would be
a bit difficult in their seats
I think he's about to stretch those hammies of his now was just working away
at his knee there you can see him just flexing his knee it's the groin stretch
left and then right
it's been 23 hours since some of you's had a bowl so take a bit of loosening up
that's in the center of course he'd been practicing a bit his exercises I assume
loosen the shoulders and the base of the back a little bit certainly touch his
toes
the great characters of Australian cricket now this one let's have a look
yep this is that another back exercise
oh
the shoulders are now loose
oh he's had a play that and caught behind yes he's on his way once again the
umpire not having to do any work there that was a really bad shot he's played
so well that one wide outside off stud Richardson went after it and a
faint little nick so McGraw has struck that is a crucial wicket they're playing
so well Richardson and Rhodes if either of them got out and they got out to a
stroke like that firm footed shot I would suspect not one inch of movement
of the feet there just a thrash away on the offside and David Richardson was off
in disappointment it's 8 for 164
Craig Matthews is the new batsman he's joined jaunty roads out there now 8 for
164 he's about to get two more before they bat
I wouldn't a big appeal there but that's a little optimistic it's amazing though
how you get a wicket and then all of a sudden things start happening 8 for 164
now then will border give me a fuse the ball as he was going to do or will he
give it a Steve or I'd give it a Steve war again
that was the appeal it looked as though it was going to miss leg stump and move
Hughes I think reckoned he was going to be given the ball and it may have worked
bring move on but he's got Steve war who's loose he knows what he's doing has
kept the runs down
brilliant catch straight away
didn't he enjoy that one he got himself perfectly placed and boy is there a bit
of chip going on there they stuck with war it was straight he flicked it away on
the onside and border took the catch here it is now quite firmly flicked away
have a look at borders positioning perfect and he hangs on to that one boy
and doesn't he enjoy it
it goes again and thank you very much well now they're only going to get one
out
so Johnny Rhodes having played so well follows Richardson back to the
Pavilion he's out for 27 9 for 164
Alan Donald's the new batsman he's out there to replace Johnny Rhodes well two
in quick succession Richardson out caught behind off McGraw and Rhodes
caught by border off the bowling of Stephen war that was the first ball of
the over and we're going to see war continue now he's bowling to Donald all
when he's played and missed Stephen war now on 4 for 28 22.2 overs nine
maidens 4 for 28 the draw has one and one for 26
and the two of them operating at the moment
you
by them stumps all over the place and have a look at that Stephen war has
struck again Donald on his way so war 5 for 28 his third haul of five in an
innings and he's best bowling in test cricket so Donald comprehensively bowled
by Stephen war great match for Stephen war batted brilliantly a wonderful
innings from him he's fielded very well and now he's knocked over Donald with a
good one might just afflict the pad but that is terrific stuff 164 these
South Africans all out now Stephen war has done a terrific job Alan border has
produced some wonderful captaincy to use him so much and he's finished up with
the figures Tony Gregg has just given you 5 for 28 from 22.3 overs and nine
maidens Donald has gone it's those stumps lying sprayed all over the place
and he's accompanied off the ground with a duck
Donald duck
hmm taking the car loan and the home and the loan for the new room and
parceling them all into one loan at the National with the lower interest rate
we now have over three hundred dollars a month extra to spend when Nicole comes
Nick ask the National for details about parceling all your personal borrowings
at one low interest rate we tailor banking to your needs in South Africa
starting the bowling with Craig Matthews from the Weinberg in Kepler
vessels has two slips and about had him
like Matthews had most of his success from the Weinberg end but his first
wicket when coming from Kelvin Grove end then the other four at the Weinberg
in
you got those four in 16 deliveries here and that was the first yesterday of a
cluster of three lots of wickets it's when you look we're halfway through day
five so far we've had 30 wickets in the match he got four in 16 Australia last
night five in 20 and then the final three South African wickets today going
down in five not 12 wickets in 41 balls in four and a half days and it's only 30
gone
Oh
not Tyler
Oh
They're sorry about the loss of pictures trying to get the problem rectified here at Newlands
One spectator here rather
a heavy african saccent telling Kepler vessels he wants a miracle that's exactly what it will be
Oh
Two runs from the first over
Oh
And not surprisingly at the kelvin grove end it's going to be Fanny de Villiers fast funny
As he's known affectionately here in south africa
Yeah
I think he and johnny rhodes are the two favorites with the crowd
No ball called by umpire liebenberg
Finally he doesn't bowl too many but uh, this is what can happen when a new ball bowler gets wound up
So
Michael slater on 999 test runs
So
Andrew hudson was dismissed just short of his 1000 test runs when he was out for 49 in the second innings
So
If slater does get there it'll be in his 23rd test innings andrew hudson when he was dismissed on 49
That was the end of his 24th
And
That's good going in for two young men making their way in the game
There's two very good records both of them aggressive players
Michael slater the more aggressive of the two particularly
I think when it comes to spin bowling both of them like to get a move on
Andrew hudson really started in fine fashion the other day here at newlands in the first innings
Oh
Beautiful delivery there from farnie de villiers didn't do a lot, but it was a perfect line
Oh
So
That's good over from the final to go this is number three
It's a motorcycle when it comes to fun just looking for the tattoos born to ride we've got the right stuff
With larry ember, we have fun. Don't we?
Yes, we do and the price is right 5 30 tomorrow on channel nine
What's the capital of belgium a final fantastic show down
Hey, hey at saturday versus the bob morrison show that's for the winning team
Who'll take the crown sales battle the tv shows tomorrow seven o'clock on nine?
Tuesday 8 30 the spectacle of the academy awards exclusive to nine
91 for victory none for three
Mark taylor on two
Michael slater
still on walk
Ian just thinking about yesterday and we gave a bit of a burst about the
Minimum number of overs in the day when there's a recalculation that australia might be chasing somewhere around the 117 mark again and
Alan border when it was made to him when that suggestion was made to him said, yeah, maybe we'll get him this time
Well, he's played in three of the four or five closest finishes by in run margins. Anyway in history
He lost to england. I think by three in melbourne
five
To south africa one run to the west indies
And they feature among the closest ever finishes
So there's the thousand for michael slater
So
It's done for right
Leger
Three to mark taylor with that boundary michael slater has gone to a thousand and three runs in test cricket and only his 23rd innings
Yes
Australia now only need 83 for victory
This test match in its own way is
Quite similar to the one at wonders where one side looks out of it as far as winning the game was concerned
That was south africa up there 120 for six two five one first innings
And go on to win quite convincingly and once
South africa had got 361 and got through the best part of a day and a half
It must have thought they were pretty close to locking the door
I think that might have been part of their problem jack. I think they did feel that once they'd made 361
And
And they'd taken a fair bit of time to do it that they were safe and I think
once you start
Trying to play safe so early in a game. It is designed for
Disaster
Yeah, I think the game plan went okay until t on the third day and uh, david boone allen gaudre had
Got a bit bogged down, but it was after t on the third day everything started to change
Yeah
That's a lovely shot
Yeah, nice punchy shot this
Placement was perfect
Yeah
Talking about when the game started to tilt towards australia steve warles the man who did it
first 50 of his
final 86 coming in that
final session on the third day and that's what made it into uh
A good day for australia
Just open the door for them
Yeah
And if they do win in you've got to say it's a it's a good effort
by the team who had a pretty rough time on and off the field in jehannesburg and uh
under the scrutiny of uh icc officials their own board officials
Uh to lose the toss to give 361
Away and then come back and as it looks to win. That's a pretty fair effort to square a series
Yes, a good gutsy performance from the australians you always got the feeling that they would play better at sea level than they did
In the altitude of jehannesburg
So
Right off a 16 000 car these days and you could get a very nasty surprise
Your 16 000 car is only worth 13 000
But with double am i's agreed value insurance we agree on your car's value up front
So you'll never ever get a nasty surprise
You'll get 16 000 for your 16 000 car
Ask about amy's agreed value on 13 22 44. There are no surprises
Nine to taylor four to slater
Australia none for 14 needing 91 for victory when they started out
I have one
So
Newlands has been a very good ground for australia. This is the eighth match played there
and uh
australia of one six
The only loss being in 1970 when australia lost all four test matches
So
Apparently newlands has been a real hoodoo ground for south africa not just against australia, but against most teams
Overall
South africa have played australia this or this is the 32nd time in test cricket in south africa
Australia have won 15 lost eight and they've been eight drawn
That was close matthews, I think believing that it might afflict the pad
Now what's it hit
Doesn't get up it flicks the pad
It's played a shot the knee roll was outside
Yes finally a fine leg
So
That'll be two more a bit easily gained this time
To to uh slater and australia now none for 18
We were very smart we were taking the car loan
And the home loan
And the loan for the new room and parceling them all into one loan at the national
With the lower interest rate. We now have over three hundred dollars a month extra to spend
When nicole comes nick
Ask the national for details about parceling all your personal borrowings at one low interest rate
We tailor banking to your needs
73 australia require for victory
It's going to be alan donald from the kelvin grove end in the commentary position groan pollock and tony greg
So
Thanks very much ian
This is uh, very exciting stuff taylor on nine slater eight no wicked for 18. They need 91 to win this test match
And if they do that the series will be level at one all
This is donald to taylor
And he's played that one away nicely down to fine leg i'll come back for the second
So taylor on to 11
Listen if it is one
All then um the circus as it were moves to durban
And uh, the word graham is that uh, the groundsman up in durban
Is they're growing the grass up there. It could be quite a quick wicket
Yes, I would think so. Um
The syafcan side or keppel or the quick bowlers have anything to do with it. I'm sure that's what they'd like
I've really had to toil hard here at newlands
Yes
That's a good bouncer and taylor had no idea where it was
He was watching the ball then all of a sudden had got a little big on him and took his eye right off the ball
Yes, uh donald trying to prove a point he hasn't bowled well at all
for the south africans
And really good one right in at the body and
Taylor just taking his eye off the ball at the last minute a little bit lucky to get it down and to beat that man
At short leg
Donald again, this is his third ball of this uh spell of his
Oh and that one went all the way along the ground
Well, he's almost praying
Is that
End with the bowlers from the kelvin grove end hasn't really kept all that low throughout the match. It's been the other way
from the weinberg end
and
That one did certainly squat a little bit
Actually seemed to
Go away at the last minute not quite sure which
What it hit to deflect I think it hit the bat graham just uh way down on the bottom of the bat there
Otherwise, uh, he must have been really close to lbw
Just deflected away
That's well played beautiful shot by slater
He really has smashed that one away to the square leg boundary. You won't see many better shots in this one
Yes, and what a fine shot slater has been very impressive
It seemed to be getting out in the 20s and 30s. Yeah, we see one that
Drifted down leg and you really got onto that one quickly and sped away to the boundary and
Craig matthews having no chance at fine leg
So
That's way outside off stump no point playing a shot of that one it's the end of the oven now we get to 25
days
G'day if you want a fantastic bargain on tires get into bow repairs right now
We're letting tires go for prices

Call 132381 for your nearest bow repairs store
so
Now we get to 25 six overs have now been completed taylor's 12. So as slater
Slater's hit two boundaries just taylor's one they need 91 to win. This is matthews
I think tony talking about kingsmead
The authorities some years ago in fact did a test
The players kept saying that at certain times through the game suddenly the ball would start moving around
and they dug a hole behind the side screen at the one end and
watch it with interest and when the tide came in that hole certainly filled up with water and
sometimes it's
A lot of interest to the captains just to watch the tides and when it does happen because you certainly do get a lot
More assistance when the tide is in
Yes
It's the water table at kingsmead apparently
Is very high. There's there was some suggestion graham that the ground was actually below sea level
Yes, the ground itself is below sea level and uh, it is affected. There's no doubt about it
You just see the green streaks would suddenly appear
When the ball hits the wicket
Yes
Oh
Yes, the test match in durban at the kingsmead ground starts on friday
The players will be flying up there
Tomorrow around about lunchtime. It's the third test match
Off fielded that's friday the 25th of march
Just check your local guides
And here's the deciding test match this is well fielded by matthews it was hit back to him very firmly and it
Takes a bit of doing getting down and across
Especially if you're a fast bowler
Yes, every run vitally important
The australians going along very nicely very confidently
In fact into the seventh over and 25 on the board already
Just two slips in position and a short mid-wicket and he's now decided to go around the wicket
Yes
It's one of craig matthews advantages is that uh, he bowls from so close to the stumps went over the wicket
So I think by bowling around the wicket he's going to miss out on the odd low deliveries because it's all happened
With the bowler going over the wicket and directing it around about the off stump
And he's now bowling onto unused territory
And the ball coming through at a normal height
It's nicely played nudged away just a little short that delivery
And taylor will collect himself two more so he moves on to 14 with a total no wicket
427
Let caltech show you the difference between a petrol station
At a service station, hi jackie morning nary, you're right nally today
Where else could I get a pair of stockings at seven o'clock in the morning? Well, this is right
You couldn't do the retro check now, could you? Yeah, that'll be fine. I'll get ted to do it while you're doing your shopping
All right, then i'll see you in about an hour. Okay. It's all right
So if you leave it with us, we'll fix it off call back. I'll get one of my lights to put it on for you
Ta-da
All right, you have a great weekend
No wicket for 27 they need 91 to win
That's the view of newlands we might um show you a
Few pictures of king's mead in a second. That's the view of newlands from high up in the light tower above the ground
Forward short leg and a slip there for donald. He's operating at the moment from the kelvin grove end
One straight to mid-off
This um, durban is a little more sticky the weather rather like the weather up in brisbane
There is the king's mead ground very very close to the sea
and the harbor in the background there and so
You can see it's uh
Very close to the sea. Therefore. I suppose understandable that the tides could affect it that strip
Slap bang in the middle there another pretty ground
Um
That's well played and uh, he's falling in behind that one
Peter kirsten having to chase it down to the wide man on boundary and they'll get themselves three
So
There we see it just drifting onto leg stump again and beating peter kirsten nicely timed shot from michael slater
Oh
That is a vital breakthrough
Alan donald who hasn't bowled well, but
Tinting taylor into the cut
We see the ball not getting up all that much
And has been the case with a number of batsmen throughout the game
the slowness of the wicket
I've got them to get a lot of inside edges
And just dislodging the leg bail
Yes, I think uh the look on his face tells the story one for 30
See
Right off a sixteen thousand dollar car these days and you could get a very nasty surprise
Your sixteen thousand dollar car is only worth thirteen thousand
But with double am i's agreed value insurance we agree on your car's value up front
So you'll never ever get a nasty surprise
You'll get sixteen thousand dollars for your sixteen thousand dollar car
Ask about amy's agreed value on one three double two double four
There are no surprises
So
The batsman is david boone he's out there replacing taylor who's bowled by donald for 14
Is uh 30 runs on the board south africa certainly needed a wicket now the question is will we see
A few wickets fall it's happened so often in this test match one wicket goes and all of a sudden
We see two or three go and the batting side is then under huge pressure
I
Guess I think it's important for the australians to continue in the positive mood
You're going to get over the overs the odd delivery that's going to keep low
I think it's important that uh, they keep the board moving and uh, that certainly was very evident with
taylor and slayton
Taylor being a little unlucky and obviously disappointed in dragging that wide delivery onto his stumps
I
Just pushed down on the offside. Well when donald uh,
Bowled taylor graham pollock jumped out of his seat here in the commentary box talk us through it graham
Well a little bit of hope
It's only some 27 runs of the target at sydney and uh, I think you've got to be a little bit optimistic
and there alan donald obviously having
a few altercations with some of the crowd just
Giving him the message that he can still bowl
Still can take wickets
He's flying in now
Oh and uh that one pushed away on the offside I thought it might just be a little bit wide to be pushing out that one
And now they're all into the action shining the ball. It's amazing what a wicked does
Yes, and uh, as you say we have a little bit of spirit out there
They're certainly going to charge in
The next 40 minutes to t
Obviously a wicked or two will revitalize things
But I don't think there should be too many problems the wicked is really still playing well
No spinners to contend with
Just a little worried about the odd one that might keep low well, that's the end of the over good one
He's got a wicked. It's one for 30
Yeah
Introducing new space here toyota's most affordable people mover
It seats eight in comfort with safety features
You'd only expect on a much more expensive vehicle and with power steering and rear coil spring suspension
Space here drives like a sedan
But with the space of a wagon, so if you want extra space here with better safety, uh, there's only one choice
Yeah
Matthews four overs no maidens and no wicked for 13 continuing now
And a pretty confident looking slater
on 15 playing a very confident looking forward defensive
pretty exciting player graham
Yes from what i've seen here in south africa. It's quite surprising that he not a regular choice and missed some of the games in australia
Yeah
He's come out here full of confidence
And seems to know what he's doing gets nicely into position
Aggressive player hits the ball. Well runs well between the wickets
I'm sure we can look forward to some big scores from him
It's rock solid there in defense as well
He likes to hit them too when they up there he goes for them he's not about to hang back
And he'd be the real danger for vessels vessels actually wouldn't mind I shouldn't think if
investment came out there and just blocked because uh on wickets like this eventually something was happened, but slater is the sort of player who's got this
attacking streak in him and uh, you can really
Get uh the side into a woman position really quickly
Oh and that one kept just a little low
He managed to get down on that one
Just does a little glance around he's got to be very careful of that one that keeps low
Yes, just in the right spot
short of a length erected at the stumps
The other thing slater realizing that maybe it's got to get on the front foot
Far safer
Getting on the front foot
Yes
Yes, he went forward then then came back
One for 30 we need 91 to win this test
And of interest the
salving selectors
maintaining the same 13 players for
the game at kingsmead
I'm sure they'll have to give it a long hard
Bit of thought as to whether they'll do the same and going without a specialist spinner
A bold slow one
I
Have it slow and well checked by slater realizing it wasn't coming on just check the shot at the last minute
Oh
Bang on target and again well played it's a maiden one for 30
It's the new series that's got australia talking
Love rules
I need my television back if you don't have any objections thursday breaking up superglue all their clothes to the floor the right way
The cleaning you can make the break the better single parenthood judge people on their parenting skills and not on their marital status
Plus sharing the housework equally bathrooms are your bathrooms?
And the thrill of the chase love rules thursday 8 30 on nine
And not too many people here today and too many optimistic south africans at the start of play
A little bit of interest created by lunchtime
And I know I had a very frustrating day
Decided to change my air booking early today till the earlier flight at six o'clock
lunchtime I went back and
Reverted to my original time of 20 to 8
And now they let me down after lunch
And uh, so i'm going to sit around wait a few extra hours for that flight to janisburg
Really nice and excited in the crowd here those that are here oh gee up donald
Down to third man
So boon is off the mark he has one slate of 15 the man out taylor bowled by donald for 14
The hudson is down to third man
They're all concentrating on the activities out in the center nice earrings
Just getting back to hudson the man that caused the breakthrough in the middle of the day in the south african innings
Yes
I think a rather unnecessary single trying to get his 50 saw kepler vessels run out
And then probably a little bit disappointed with himself getting out a few overs later
As that run out really was a major turning point in this match
The vessels was very upset when he went back into the pavilion that'll probably also upset hudson
And then all of a sudden they were both out so had real problems
Donald trying to get his second wicked
So
She was he's up there
Some some pretty good hats around although they're not
Quite as conscious out here graham as they are in australia in respect of kin skin cancer. Is that uh, is there any good reason for that?
I don't think so. I think they everybody's aware been made aware
Maybe it's not quite as hot
Here in the cape
Very often a nice little breeze
Keeps it pretty cool
But uh certainly got to be very careful
I don't know a few hats on but that's about it
That's well run
That's also the end of the ever one for 32
Thank you
Did you know that with some insurance policies if you're a rating one driver and you have an accident that's your fault
Even if it's the first one in years
Your claim will make your premium go up
Because you'll lose your rating one
I'm sorry. We've lost it, but not with double a mi
You can make that claim then switch to amy and we'll make sure your rating one survives
You're with me
Yes, they look like a kubras which uh, you will know uh, graham or very well known australian hats
Let's see if we can pick up a few uh, certainly australian fans see if we can pick up a few uh,
South african hats for us
Hey
That's the only thing I know about that it's probably a hogan hat
I've seen him out there in a number of his movies and associated with the australian
Of course a little bit similar to our awb men and their horses and
And
Always missed it
Once he couldn't you running around there, I don't think he would have affected a run out
Yes, now that's a bobby lock hat i'd say that one in the front and uh the one up at the back
That's not my kind of hat
Very popular the uh, just ordinary little
Peak caps and lots of youngsters wearing their caps peak caps back to front these days
Seems to be a bit of a trend
And that doesn't afford any protection other than on the neck
And if my experience is anything to go by those little skin cancers when you're a young boy
I tend to develop around about the forehead and just below the eyes and
There's a decent hat at the back got some good protection. Well, you might suggest that those gentlemen have the sun behind them
In fact they do they're in the railway side of the ground
So they are protecting an area that is what the sun beating down
A cross section of the local society there
Which is something we didn't used to see years ago graham did you when you played here, of course
The crowds were segregated and that is really good to see
Yes, there have been dramatic developments
in cricket in south africa
I think the good thing is when we did play
rebel sides
We were playing with one section of the crowd
In favor of south africa and the other section always shouting for the opposition and
That certainly is not the case here today. Everybody's supporting south africa
A few australian tour groups around they haven't been very rowdy haven't heard any pulsing matildas or anything like that
Looks like a pretty there's a macho ozzie up there
In front of the australian flag and have a look at that all wearing hats
Yes, I think we must give credit to the australian groups good winners not noisy winners
That's the end of the over one for 33
Oh
Introducing new space here toyota's most affordable people mover
It seats eight in comfort with safety features
You'd only expect on a much more expensive vehicle and with power steering and rear coil spring suspension
Space here drives like a sedan
But with the space of a wagon, so if you want extra space here with better safety, uh, there's only one choice
Oh what a feeling new space here
So one for 33 11 overs have been bowled donald's about to continue he's going to be bowling to slater who's on 17
And he gets that one away
Mr. White of gully, it's cut off by hudson down that third man. They're coming back for the second. That's good running
So slater back for two
He moves on to 19 in the commentary box now. It's going to be ian chappell and richie benno
Thanks very much tony we apologize for the quality of the pictures
Fiddling around with the problem trying to get it sorted out but not having as much luck as we would like
Australia having a bit more luck though in this test match coasting to victory
Oh
It's been some very positive running out there so far anyway
I did um here on the grapevine today that the austrians intended to be very positive in this uh chase for runs
God larue is the man on the right of peter pollock chairman of selectors there
Yes, the australians were determined not to allow themselves to be forced onto the defensive
I saw what happened to them in sydney when that happened
They do need to play with common sense
Not many runs, but a little bit of a run-on as has been shown three or four times in this match
and all sorts of
domino disasters
Disasters can happen
Oh
Michael Slater's a good man to have in this situation
He always looks to get on with a job. He's hit two boundaries in his 19
As long as he's there Australia are never gonna get bogged down
Oh
That's a nasty guy
Slater hit that pretty well. Harry Kirsten's a tough customer. All right hasn't rubbed it yet
Difficult to tell quite where it got him knee perhaps
Oh
It's one for 35
And what we're looking for is being able to consolidate all our loans
We've paid off a good part of our home loan, but we've got these other loans the car loan
That's about 15% and the loan for the pool. That's
11% at the moment now the national can parcel all your loans at the one low rate. So, how does that look?
It's true. It's a huge saving
Whatever personal borrowings you have call and ask the national to tailor banking to your needs
Australia needing 91 for victory one for 35 Slater on 19 Boone on one
There's gonna be change in bowling at the Weinberg end Brian McMillan now comes on
I
Met his having bowled six overs six overs one maiden number 14
This is not quite do-or-die yet, but Brian McMillan is one who will be bending his back and
Getting his broad shoulders working. He hits the pitch pretty hard
He'll be looking at his slip man one at gully one at square point for David Boone
And he's brought into play straightaway
A
Boom very good cutter of the ball
Sometimes cuts in the air. Although he got caught around the point area a couple of times in Australia
There in the summer since then he started to hit the ball into the ground a lot better
Oh
It's beautiful cut shot Donald is a third man
I
91 is the figure for the Australians and Donald is take a bit of chiacking down at the boundary there
His own supporters I suspect
It's straight to ground
Tony de Villiers man with the rocket arm
It's
Not quite the right spot to land those for Slater you need to have them up round about shoulder height
David Boone now, I think wary of what runouts have done so far in the series
It seems to me he had to be grabbing the back of his thigh there
I wonder if he's got a bit of a hamstring problem
He's got a bit of a hamstring problem
Hi there, I wonder if he's got a bit of a hamstring problem. It's three times now in the last couple of overs
He's clutched at his thigh
Andrew Hudson goes over the top of that one first boundary for David Boone. It's one for 43
Let Caltech show you the difference between a petrol station and a service
Name the day and we'll just make it happen
Okay, I can see you're a busy man. I'll do that radio check right now over there the service center for you
The best shots today are on national 9 news at 6
Oh and Donald is going to continue he's bowled four overs has won for 14
Excellent shot
Oh
That's good stroke once again, he's rolled his wrists over the top of the ball and once again
the bowler needs to get it far as Slater's concern just up round about shoulder height and
Just outside off stump
Oh
About there
Just about there on other occasions Michael Slater has gone for the pool shot with that and has miscued that's just about ideal
Oh
That second ball in Alan Donald's over
Living up to the sign that we saw in Australia
earlier in the summer
We've said here comes Donald duck
Oh
Oh three boundaries in Slater's 26 he's faced 46 balls
Excellent shot
Oh
Didn't quite time that as he would have wished but it was good enough gave him two runs keeps him on strike to Donald
Oh
It's one for 49
Did you know that with some insurance policies if you're a rating one driver and you have an accident that's your fault
It's the first one in years
Your claim will make your premium go up because you'll lose your rating one
I'm sorry. We've lost it, but not with double AMI
You can make that claim then switch to Amy and we'll make sure your rating one survives
28 to Slater six to boon
Just 42 needed now for victory
Oh
Now an extra man going down behind square leg
Michael Slater has strike Brian McMillan is the bowler
So they've got two men down waiting for the miscued pull shot or a top edge from the hook
Australian 50 coming off 86 balls
Oh
Not quite a wide but not all that far off even Mellon had the good grace to smile
Oh
Good timing good enough to beat Johnny
That
Was a beautiful stroke from Michael Slater he waited for that one. He didn't just give it a tremendous belt
But he just waited for it
Guided it beautifully almost out of the reach of Johnny Rhodes
Oh
I'm bouncing in front of David Richardson and getting away from him
Might be the first sign that
Heads are going down a little low the last fellow. I'd expect that to happen with us
David Richardson, who's got a ton of courage
Awkward bounce, but I suppose you could say he should have been
Down covering it with his body
Oh
It's one for 52
There's never been a better time to say hello to Australia's number one health insurer because right now for a short time
We're waving our initial waiting period for hospital cover
And if you join now, you could win six months membership absolutely free
No initial waiting period and the chance to win six months free membership, but hurry offer ends April 8
I feel better now
And a change in the bowling now at the Kelvin Grove end funny debilious comes on in place of Alan Donald
Donald's five overs costing 20
And he got the wicked of Taylor
I
Found he's had a bit of a bronchial ailment in this match just bowling two overs in his first spell
Oh
That's twice he's beaten Slater in exactly the same fashion
He didn't hang back with that he only had about half of the bat angle towards the ball
was hitting it
Well, I suppose wide of mid on
Funny de Villiers Ian Chappell was just talking about him with a bronchial complaint. I did see a note the other day that
He had something that was involving very very heavy sweating and headaches which would suddenly arrive
It's got away from him Anzhi Kroenya
Yes
Funny de Villiers after the tour of India undertaken by South Africa
since that time he's
Having these bouts of very very heavy sweating suddenly come upon him and
Headaches as well sounds suspiciously like some sort of mosquito carrying ailment
Not
Something that is going to make you play your cricket any better
Whatever it is. Hopefully you'd be rid of it very quickly
It does appear from what's been published that
It's been with him for some time now
Oh
What a few balls have been mistimed in this match
Because the ball is perhaps staying down a little and also not quite coming onto the bat
Plenty of batsmen have inside edge and down around near the stumps
Mark Taylor in fact was out in that fashion with the score at 30
It's one for 55
Oh
Yeah, hey get down to bow repairs for those birthday
And you'll be able to pick up a fantastic bargain on tires like these Olympic marathons
Reduced from $90 to $81 each and these Dunlop super grippers they're down to a hundred and fifty five dollars
And all our performance tires have been slashed
That's a very poor choice of words Dave
Big birthday sale tires at unbeatable prices call one three two three eight one for your nearest bow repairs store
Australia it's later on 32 boon seven
Kerry Kirsten is the man at deep backward square
Oh
Ten plus three will be
Time for tea here
Probably two more overs might get three in
More likely to be to the way the run and where the over rate has been
In
Pretty ambitious the first time I think I've seen that sort of appeal from David Richardson
He was outside of stump when it hit him with the reason from by Shepard giving the instant negative
Oh
What a few in the crowd come along hoping for a miracle
Some have been screaming out for a miracle
There's also a few Australian supporters
A few guys down here
Just in front of us who've been shouting for Australia one with an Australian shirt
They've been getting on to Alan Donald's back a bit
Michael Slater's into
His thrashing mode at the moment. That's the third really big
Heave is given
That making any contact
The second and third
Michael Slater's in to his thrashing mode at the moment. That's the third really big heath is given
Oh
It's 156
We were very smart we were hmm taking the car loan
and the home loan and
the loan for the new room
Parceling them all into one loan at the National with the lower interest rate. We now have over three hundred dollars a month extra to spend
When Nicole comes Nick
Ask the National for details about parcelling all your personal borrowings at one low interest rate
We tailor banking to your needs
35 now Australia need
Billy is about to bowl his fourth over as figures of none for nine
Australian
Run rate three point two six in this inning. So they're not making the mistakes that they made in Sydney
The major mistake which was to dawdle after that 117 and they didn't quite get there
I
Beginnings from David Boone and
the first time of asking
Got into the 90s once again, he said good match
batting point of view
Fielded well didn't do anything with the ball, but his team back in Australia got themselves into the Sheffield Shield final with that
slashing win against South Australia down in Adelaide
Ricky Ponting make a hundred and fifty
And Dean Hills the Tasmanian opening batsman going past a thousand runs for the season in Sheffield Shield cricket and
a century in each innings of that match
An extraordinary weekend of Sheffield Shield cricket
Western Australia beating Victoria and South Australia
Putting in a complaint to the ACB or so. It's been said in the media reports
Complained about the pitch and the circumstances of the pitch preparation
They've all called by Empire Liebenberg
And
Then in the Sheffield Shield game between New South Wales and Queensland
Queensland set over 400 to make and they got
fairly close to that
Pretty good effort, but it would have
seemed like a very big mountain to climb and
The other game that one of the Adelaide over between South Australia and
Tasmania my report this morning said that the Tasmanian primer premier will
Announce a state holiday if they win the final
Everyone Tasmania we're looking forward to that
Maybe
Quite the same amount of celebration north of the border if
That does happen Tasmania come out on top
The
33 now the
required number for Australia
To make it one all in the series and go to Durban
for the decider
Not much between these two teams at all one all in the three test series in Australia
Australia having to come back there from one down to level it
this time they'll have the opportunity to
Win the series outright
It's one for 58
