A video of just the Gibbs, de Villiers knock is up here: Gibbs & de Villiers vs Aus
Look out for a fascinating duel between Ponting and Dale Steyn that lasted an over – Ponting smacks the only four 4’s in his knock before Steyn gets him. Ponting at the time looked to be taking charge of the Aus innings that had fallen away after a super knock by Brad Haddin.

South Africa vs Australia 3rd ODI Highlights
Watch cricket highlights of the 3rd ODI – South Africa vs Australia played at Cape Town on April 9, 2009.
Scoreline: 289/6 – AB de Villiers 80, Jacques Kallis 70, JP Duminy 32, Mark Boucher 28 (15). Aus 264/7 – James Hopes 63, Callum Ferguson 63.
Ponting: It was (too many to chase in the end). de villiers and kallis played well and kept wickets in the hand for the end. That’s what we didn’t have. We got to lift our games …
Man of the Match: Kallis: "We felt the wicket was quite slow. We were looking for 250 260 initially but when we give platform to guys like Albie, they can push it futher. The new guys coming in are contributing and it’s nice. There is a world cup coming up and there is still lot of cricket left in this body."
Smith: "We have learned to back our spinners and they have stepped up. Today we played the game clinically well. AB and Jacques showed they were prepared to do hard work and played very skilfully,. The wicket was slow throughout; we just wanted to get to the end with wickets in hand. It was a professional evening and very happy for the guys. 2 -1 up now, we would like to be clinical and finish on Monday. I have said to the guys that lets finish the season on a high."

South Africa vs Australia 2nd ODI Highlights
Watch cricket highlights – South Africa vs Australia – 2nd ODI highlights.
Scoreline: Aus 131 all out. Callum Ferguson 50, Mitchell Johnson 30. SA 132/3 in 26.2 overs – Graeme Smith 40, de Villiers and Duminy see it through
Shocking blitzing of the Aussie top order by Wayne Parnell in his 2nd ODI and Dale Steyn (4 wickets apiece) to reduce Australia to 19/5. Take away the 80 runs contributed by Johnson and Parnell and you’d have had just about enough for Herschelle Gibbs and Graeme Smith to stay out there for 4 overs.
Callum Ferguson in the 5th ODI vs New Zealand this year had come up with a half century that had looked streaky/intelligent depending on your perspective. A good knock by him today in the middle of all the chaos.
SA took the comfortable approach rather than the pummel ‘em approach while chasing and skipped right back into this 5 game series.

South Africa vs Australia, 2nd T20, Live Cricket Streaming
South Africa proved to be a better side other day in 1st T20 and game switched both sides many times during the course of match. Let’s hope we will have one more exciting T20 between these two teams.
Toss Australia have won the toss and they will bowl first.
Team changes: Three changes for Australia. Brett Geeves, Mitchell Johnson and Michael Hussey make way for Ben Laughlin, Nathan Bracken and Callum Ferguson. We’ll let you know about the South Africans shortly.
SA are experimenting like crazy. Yusuf Abdulla, Roelof van der Merwe and Johann Louw get a game.
South Africa: Johan Botha (capt), Robin Peterson, Herschelle Gibbs, AB de Villiers, Justin Ontong, JP Duminy, Mark Boucher, Johann Louw, Roelof van der Merwe, Albie Morkel, Yusuf Abdulla
Australia: Ricky Ponting (capt), Michael Clarke, Nathan Bracken, Callum Ferguson, Brad Haddin (wk), David Hussey, Ben Laughlin, Cameron White, David Warner, Shane Harwood, James Hopes.
So Steyn, Amla, Parnell and van Jaarsveld get a rest. Man to man, Australia look stronger and should start as favourites.

South Africa vs Australia 3rd Test Highlights Day 1
Watch cricket highlights – South Africa vs Australia 3rd Test Highlights Day 1 highlights – from Newlands, Cape Town.
Scoreline: Australia 209 all out – Simon Katich 55, Brad Haddin 42, Mitchell Johnson 35. Dale Steyn 4 and Paul Harris 3 wickets.
Firstly, debuts for 36 year old Bryce McGain (Aus) and 24 year old Imraan Khan (SA).
A super day for all the South African bowlers including Albie, in for his brother. There was the usual review confusion with either side not taking them when they probably should have. Haddin hit 8 boundaries including some stunning shots during his 42 and briefly popped up the possibility of the counter-attacking innings of the series. Not to be. Mitchell Johnson however pulled out his dismissive avatar while launching towards the end.
Imraan Khan and makeshift opener Ashwell Prince looked pretty much at ease and played some uncluttered-mind shots during the SA batting stint going into end of day’s play.

Watch cricket highlights – South Africa vs Aus 2nd day highlights, 2nd Durban test highlights.
Scoreline: Australia 352 all out. Dale Steyn 3 wickets. SA 138/7. JP Duminy 73 no, Graeme Smith retired hurt.
Mitchell Johnson and Dale Steyn take down the day. In fact, all the fast bowlers were cannibalistic today – Morkel too had a far better day than yesterday.
A day of fast bowling-induced collapses for both sides. Only, the SA collapse was more dramatic cos of blood on the pitch and a broken finger. Two retd hurts (Smith and Kallis)- not seen apparently since 1976 when Holding vs India sent a few players to the hospital.

3rd ODI: Australia v South Africa at Sydney, Jan 23 2009, Highlights
Watch Cricket Highlights: Australia vs South Africa, 3rd One Day match played at the SCG – Sydney on January 23, 2009.
Scoreline: Australia 269. David Warner 69 (60). Botha 10-32-3. Albie Morkel eases the SA chase – 40 (22). Semi-Vintage Herschelle Gibbs 64 (52). Kallis 60. (got to 10000 runs in ODIs today). Nathan Bracken 9-29-1. 46.3 overs eventually was all it took SA.
With Dave Warner at it again, Australia raced to around 150 in 25 overs and then messed it up. Though Botha (in particular) and Duminy bowled well, it was more like Aus let them do so. In fact, many of the dismissals were pretty lame.
Even while fielding, Australia let slip several key moments that could well have won them the game – Gibbs and Amla dropped in the 1st Tait over, and Shaun Tait himself later dropping Albie Morkel with around 50 runs to get. Albie who was denied a chance to produce his magic in the 2nd ODI through poor rotation of strike, basically pulled this one off for SA after Gibbs had eaten into Tait and Mitchell Johnson.
Nathan Hauritz – there are some cricketers who come on the scene and you look at their face and just know they’re not going to do anything other than annoy you. David Hussey has looked a superior bowler whenever he has bowled and Hussey didn’t even bowl today. Just wish we could see Nathan bowling at Sehwag.
Prematch: It will be cool to see Mitchell Johnson back in action. Shaun Tait will also play tomorrow. The ones grumbling in a corner are Ryan Harris and Hilfenhaus.

SA vs Australia 1st KFC T20-20 Cricket Highlights MCG
Cricket Highlights: Australia vs South Africa, the 1st T20 game played at Melbourne (MCG) on January 11, 2009. The man of the day was David Warner 89 (43): 6×6, 7×4. Belting-the-ball at its harshest. And this from a club cricketer who hasn’t even played a single first class game. His 50 came off 19 balls – Afridi, it’s time to get your act together.
Scores: Aus: 182. South Africa 130 – JP Duminy 78 (48), David Hussey 3 wickets.
Well, prematch it was pretty exciting – the prospect of seeing Herschelle Gibbs and Nathan Bracken back in action. Bracken was good as usual, but the Gibbs was situation was left hanging in what-if air, because of a poor umpiring decision in just the 3rd ball he faced.
Earlier, David Warner took the South African bowlers apart in what eventually turned out to be a match-winning knock, considering most of the Aussie order fell away after his dismissal.
Shaun Tait was searing in his first over knocking de Villiers onto his stumps. The Tait show hoever was premature with Duminy eating into him while producing arguably the Moment of the Game - a six off Tait over wicket-keeper Ronchi.
With no one else doing anything particularly noteworthy it’s 1 up for the Aussies in this two match T20 series.
Prematch: Come on Gibbs, what can you produce tomorrow.
