00:00And once again the ball over the top of the stumps that time once again Cairns
00:12well that might have been quite close as well 6 for 167 the gap is 15 that's 15
00:19between balls remaining and runs to win
00:24Jacques Ellis has been given the ball and last ball lost over might have been
00:31quite close another attempted to run out on Cairns it's Herschel Gibbs this time
00:36on the other side of the field Johnny Rhodes had already had a crack from
00:38backward point I think Cairns had given up and he had by a long long way threw
00:43it into the turf and it just bounced far too much
00:46Herschel Gibbs he knew what was on Cairns makes it still doesn't make it
00:53back Jacques Ellis comes on the ball now that was a great over by camp with
00:58very little preparation just two runs
01:03that's his off century that's very well played he's been very disciplined in
01:07this innings four fours and a six so far that's his third half century in three
01:15matches here in Brisbane all of them interestingly enough against South
01:18Africa his fifth half century against South Africa all up and he's 16th in one
01:24day at the Nationals and if they end up winning this match it'll turn out to be
01:29an extremely vital innings
01:39oh he's hit that really well he's backed away from it hit it over the top of
01:43won't quite get to the boundary but two more it's not often he hits it over the
01:49top and it doesn't get to the boundary he couldn't have middle that the gap is
01:53opening this is gonna put extra pressure on them and when you put this pressure
01:57on these batsmen and definitely in this tournament so far something's happened
02:02invariably it's the batsman gets out
02:06that's in the air this is gonna be six it's gonna go all the way it's all the
02:10way over the boundary down there six to Cairns that's his second six that will
02:17relieve the pressure ten runs of that over
02:23six for 177
02:27Justin Kemp coming on for his second over in this spell
02:32well that's well played too that's into the gap and that's four as well
02:39and Perore between the two of them here are putting together a very useful
02:45partnership with good speed
02:48Chris Cairns almost to miss it just flips it stops it from hitting him in
02:53the heart flips at 80 meters for six and then Adam Perore will talk about support
02:58this is what Cairns needs
03:00get a bit of support from the other end
03:04that in fact is Cairns
03:08getting it over the boundary down there
03:11and then Perore played a beautiful shot
03:16he's blasted this for four
03:19well it wasn't that far away from mid-off
03:22but it's ended up flying or screaming away to the boundary for four
03:27boy when he really does open up they stay hit
03:31well it was delivered at 122 k's an hour I reckon it came back about 140
03:36flat bat
03:38whack
03:40mid-off one step to his right that's all he had time for
03:55oh there's a big high hit
03:57mid-off running back with it he's in with half a chance will he get there
04:00oh he does and good effort they run two
04:03my oh my that went high and it was Pollock he was making big strides
04:07running with the ball courageous shot
04:10pulls him safely
04:12one of the great catches you'll ever see in an outfield
04:16Sean Pollock believed right up until the last second that he had a sniff at this
04:20and he did he chased a long way and he got his fingers to it
04:25what a catch that would have been
04:27what a moment in the match
04:30magnificent effort by Pollock great camera work
04:33and made so much ground
04:41oh that's over this is four he's a magnificent cricketer Chris Cairns
04:45we saw it in the test match it didn't get him home then
04:47they've got a wonderful opportunity as the 200 comes up
04:50the 45th over
04:53well that's the danger you have yes the danger you have
04:56if you bowl your bouncer too early
04:59especially to a batsman who's not that keen on them
05:02you then have to start bowling a little fuller
05:05so mid-off will go back now I think that's a sensible move
05:09at least makes Cairns think about a different hitting zone
05:13fine leg has come up
05:15stand and deliver it was
05:17he crashed that at over mid-off
05:23in the air third man might get it
05:25he misses it and it goes for four
05:27he made the effort to take the catch
05:29he had to go for it got the bad bounce
05:31and it went for four
05:36you've got to take a punt he took a punt on being the hero
05:40and winning the match or almost doing it for South Africa
05:43he backed the back this had enough way on it to get down to him
05:47and then about that point there he thought oh no
05:49I've got to get something behind it
05:51I'm not going to catch it he didn't either
05:5551 runs or 53 this partnership
05:57this is the last ball this over
06:02it's gone again this time it's fine
06:04Dibena locks it
06:0710 off the over that's a big one for New Zealand
06:106 for 212
06:13they're enjoying this wonderful clash here
06:15the RB won't let it national
06:1830 off 24 four wickets in hand
06:20New Zealand should win
06:22four wickets in hand from here
06:24but can they can they break this run of outs
06:27well that will be in the back of the minds of those waiting to bat
06:30I'm not sure if it is now for those out there
06:32they're hot they're fired up
06:34Cairns and Pirori
06:36and they think they can win it
06:38it's those blokes waiting the youngsters
06:40Vittori, Franklin and Bond
06:43are the ones who know they haven't done it for quite some time
06:46here's Callis to Cairns
06:48two great all-rounders in combat
06:52so a ball and he's whacked that straight down the patini
06:54on the fence at long off
06:56just a single on the carpet good shot
06:58and an over throw
07:00the wheels maybe just falling off here
07:02hitting the stumps, unlucky
07:04bonus run
07:06that's when you wonder if it's going to be a night when you're in the park
07:12the thing about this throw is it didn't really have to be that hard
07:15because the batsmen were only really jogging through for the one
07:19he just had to get it in and be safe
07:21that Callis would have the ball in his hand
07:23brings Cairns back on strike
07:29in the air and four runs
07:31a magnificent shot over mid-wicket
07:33off his pads, superb batting
07:39he is a magnificent cricketer
07:41that's one of the reasons this is a record crowd
07:43because there's some great players
07:45playing this game, two of them in action now
07:48this is a beautiful piece of batting
07:50finesse, absolute finesse there
07:52man up inside the circle
07:54can do nothing
07:56nor those outside
07:58there's a hint of a smile on the captain's face
08:00and then he realises
08:02it's not yet too happy too soon
08:08struck that through cover
08:10I don't think the wide man's going to get it, it'll be very close
08:12if he does he's running hard
08:14they've got to go back to three surely
08:17beautiful cover drive
08:19the man at deep point chased hard
08:21good cricket and the crowd loving it
08:23well that's Jacques Callis on the dodgy ankle
08:25chasing that
08:27he's had the ankle strapped up
08:29but boy did he sprint 80 metres
08:31and no time at all to cut that extra run off
08:35it was a brilliant chase
08:4118 off 16, Foray on strike
08:43he's 16, one boundary
08:47he's got that to mid wicket
08:49one, maybe two, Dicey
08:51happy with the single
08:53oh look out, it could be one out surely
08:55oh he doesn't pick it up
08:57oh a comedy of errors
08:59the fumble encouraged the second run
09:01Pollock didn't get it, he had a chance to get Foray
09:03and that could be the winning feature
09:05of this one day international
09:11sit down Bill, you're making me nervous
09:13you're making everybody nervous
09:15this is pressure, this is pressure
09:17pressure on the field, a pressure on the batsman
09:19a stumble, where's Pollock
09:21the throw is bad, he can't pick it up
09:23look, he's thrown it to the wrong end man
09:25the call was the keeper's end
09:29wow
09:31and they know it
09:35nine off eight
09:37that's a six
09:39that is a six, that's a magnificent hit
09:41what a cricketer
09:43and the pressure's on
09:45he's delivered for New Zealand tonight
09:47superbly played
09:49and the crowd are on their feet
09:51there's no Australians playing out there
09:53but they love every moment
09:55of quality cricket
09:57they love the game over here
09:59and they're loving this effort
10:01Chris Cairns with that, moves to 97
10:03a flat, straight hit
10:05fantastic
10:0930.8 that delivery, it was no smash of the delivery
10:11hit straight through the line
10:13and now
10:17Cairns having a look around the field
10:19three off seven
10:21can he do it with the boundary
10:23can South Africa get a wicket and put pressure on somebody else
10:27he's gone again
10:29a run, whoops he could be gone
10:31oh they miss again
10:33they cannot find the timber
10:35oh he slides in, he just makes it
10:37a six for 240
10:39fantastic, that's the end of the over
10:41Cairns keeps strike, he goes to 98
10:43New Zealand need two runs
10:45from six balls
10:47you'd have to back him here, Cullis did very well
10:49Pollock, seeing a chance
10:51oh man that was the last sniff
10:53I think for South Africa
10:55and they're throwing
10:57they will lament the fact they've not been able to hit the woodwork
10:59often enough tonight
11:03that was out
11:05for me, that would have been upstairs
11:07but they knew it
11:09Vettori was on his way out
11:11he's planted himself back down
11:15there it goes
11:17he wins it with a four
11:19he gets 100 and he's a happy man
11:21one of the best one day knocks we have ever seen
11:23in 25 years of television
11:25the great all-rounder from New Zealand
11:27gets the points with a magnificent century
11:33it's quarter past 12
