Whoohaaa!!! Awesome !!!

The winning runs, once again, come off the captain's bat. A rather comfortable win in the end, largely due to Boucher's patience and that frenzied cameo from who else but ... Albie "I'll be there for you" Morkel.

Great finish..wow! Thought Aussies had a fab start and was a bit worried. But hey, we did good out there. Well done guys, we own Australia now...hehe, should banish Malema to our new territory.

WE WIN AGAIN!

Obviously not a South African, otherwise it'ld be Albie "Your two-year guarantee" Morkel.

 

[Devill]

45.5 Hauritz to Morkel, no run, smartly fired in wider and Albie has a swing and a miss

45.4 Hauritz to Morkel, FOUR, swings again and pings the midwicket ropes, what fun he is

45.3 Hauritz to Morkel, FOUR, swings across the line again, miscuing this one up into the starry night, Marsh runs across from midwicket and dives in vain, just missing what would have been a blinder

45.2 Hauritz to Morkel, SIX, there she goes! Albie doesn't waste a second in sizing up Hauritz, who tosses it up from around the stumps, down he goes, clearing the front leg and depositing that into the second tier above midwicket, what a stunning hit

How will Morkel tackle spin? The fielders drop deep all round.

ROFL

Thats how he will play it

Nice game and now we only need to win one of the remaining two to win the series!

Stunning victory!!! Well done boys!!! Game over ftw!!!

 

[R13...]

the other top order contributed valuable runs this time round and it was good to see. albie you beaut once again!!! whatever we'd do without him...

 

[Fiekus]

How sweet it would have been to be 3-0 up if we won the previous game, but hey, 4-1 in Australia will be awesome

 

[sand_man]

... Albie "I'll be there for you" Morkel.

Albie"it's all over" Morkel... Albie"the hitman" Morkel... Albie"no Boundray is too long" Morkel... Albie"no pressure" Morkel... Albie" it'll be alright'' Morkel...

Sure albie did well but got to give gibbs some cred as well

Kallis as well for not getting his 50 odd off 90 deliveries.

Good to see Gibbs get some decent runs today.

I think the reason Albie got the MoM award was because before he came in it was going to be another match down to the wire with just over 6 to the over required. After his 4 over mauling of the Ozzies we won with 21 balls to spare.

The highlights are on at 9.30 on SS2 for anyone interested.

I missed the latter part of our innings and most of Australia's innings so I'll catch it now.

 

[AirWolf]

Pity we didn't clinch the second match or we would already have had the series in the bag. Oh well, we can do it on Monday.

 

[feo]

Match 2 was basically ours. I prefer to think of it as a win in spirit.

SA has been the better team in all 3 matches.
