South Africa vs Australia - 1st ODI Match 1st Innings

Australia put on a fantastic batting display at Kingsmead in the first innings, with Michael Hussey top scoring with a great knock of 83.
The Aussies ended up with a respectable 286 with 7 wickets falling.

The South African Bowling attack was mediocre with Dale Steyn & Morne Morkel picking up 2 wickets each. The South African fielding can be commended with 2 great run outs straight after each other, as well as a couple of great catches in the field.

The atmosphere at Kingsmead is electric and the weather seems to be holding out with only a few clouds lingering.

South Africa need at least 1 or 2 solid partnerships to ensure that they can reach the 287 target, which should be do-able.
