8 November 2009 (50-over match)


South Africa innings (50 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
HM Amla	c Vermeulen b Cremer	80	131	96	6	0	83.33
35.1 oh no, Amla chucks away a century as he miss-times a long-hop from Cremer. Pulled straight down the throaght of the man down at the deep mid-wicket fence. 185/3
GC Smith*	c Mpofu b Price	35	59	39	6	1	89.74
13.3 Smith goes for the big slog-sweep but hits it too flat right down the throaght of the fielder down at deep square leg. The introduction of spin then was effective in getting the first wicket. The South African skipper has to go and that would be very dissapointing for him. 67/1
AB de Villiers	c Vermeulen b Price	51	48	51	5	1	100.00
28.3 great catch down at long-off by Vermeulen. De Villiers attempts to go over the top but doesn't get enough bat on the ball. Good innings from De Villiers comes to an end. 157/2
MV Boucher†	c Vermeulen b Price	18	37	34	1	0	52.94
38.2 another catch hit straight down Vermeulen's throaght. This time Boucher goes down the track and over the top but straight to long-off. Vermeulen makes no mistake and Price picks up another one. 202/4
AN Petersen	c Cremer b Chibhabha	39	59	36	4	0	108.33
48.6 Petersen attempts to go over the top, Cremer at the long-on fence takes a good catch running backwards. Petersen's good innings comes to an end. 288/5
