In a clinical display of professional cricket, South Africa have demolished Australia by 7 wickets, scoring the required 132 in 26.2 overs. It was a team effort by South Africa, with both the bowlers and batsmen contributing, Graeme Smith top scored with 40 off 48 balls. Mitchell Johnson was the only bowler who looked slighlty dangerous,but even He was sent packing. His figures were 2 for 47 off 10 overs.

Wayne Parnell is man of the match with his awesome bowling performance, he could be the next big thing South Africa is looking for.

It feels like a sunday afternoon cricket game, the kind of one you have after a braai and a couple of you are feeling energetic enough to bowl a few balls, take your time and mess around a bit. Even the crowd is pretty relaxed, either most people are having the traditional afternoon siesta or a couple are trying to start the ever popular mexican wave....

South Africa are currently 94 for 3 in the 20th over, De Villiers is on 11 and Duminy on 1. Current run rate is 4.6 per over, which is way above the required rate of 1.2 per over.

I hate to admit it, but i have to take my hat off to Australia for putting up a brave fight. They were 19 for 5 in the 8th over and have managed to get to 131 all out in the 40th over. Callum Ferguson top scored with an innings saving 50 off 83 balls and Mitchell Johnson contributed 30 off 62 balls. Otherwise the Australian line-up crumbled under the impressive South African bowling. Parnell ended with 4 wickets for 25 runs off 8 overs, including 4 maidens!( it sounds like a test match game)

Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs are now on the field as South Africa begin the chase.

Komodo Dragon!!! You are not going to believe what is happening here at Supersport Park.

In what must be one of the best opening spells I've seen in a long time Dale Steyn and Wayne Parnell have demolished the top order of Australia. Who is Wayne Parnell and where has he been hiding?

Steyn has bowled 4 overs for 16 runs and taken 2 wickets, while Parnell has bowled 4 overs for 3 runs and taken 3 wickets! I kidd you not!!
Australia are currently 19 for 5 in the 8th over, at this rate we'll all be home for lunch.

After a dissapointing game on friday, we're at Supersport Park in Centurion for the second ODI between South Africa and Australia.

It's a beautiful day outside, blue skies for miles and it looks like it's going to be a great day for cricket.

Ricky Ponting won the toss and Australia have decided to bat first. The crowd is festive and jovial, with Australian and South African supporters joking around with eachother, smiles all round.

I don't know where to start. South Africa have demolished Australia in what has been an exhilarating game! I'm blown away by the fanatical support of the crowd, they have been a steady source of encouragement to the Proteas from ball one.

Australia reached 139 for 8 in 20 overs, falling 17 runs short of the South African total. M Clarke and D Hussey top scored with 27 runs each, otherwise the normally invincible Australian batting line up failed to deliver. Johan Botha was the top bowler with figures of 2 for 16 off 4 overs.
