00:00Can get some kind of glory for them the South Africans with a change. Let's take a look at the line up here
00:05I should tell you that the New Zealanders going in with just about everybody. They've got available in South Africa
00:10Thanks to their injury to Shafiq Abrams
00:13He comes in for Andrew Hall the batting all-rounder otherwise strength Sean Pollock won the toss and perhaps
00:18Surprisingly given what looked like a pretty good batting track decided to try and make the most of the early conditions South Africa bowling first
00:25Astor and Nevin batting for New Zealand
00:28Sean Pollock should know the ground pretty well, and he is about to get us underway
00:38Yeah, I know the New Zealanders he is a top-class player
00:47Sean Pollock's played the old cat-and-mouse game with Rudy Kirsten and it hasn't worked
00:52Good second run so New Zealand aggressive at the start that's what they want from Chris Nevin edge and past Cullis
01:07First boundary yes it is
01:10So Astor was caught at second slip at derb just playing away from his body. There's a little bit of extra bounce
01:22Good shot nice piece of timing and it'll run all the way
01:32That is a strength because he's got a very good eye he stays on
01:37Sideways there you can see his his feet almost parallel to the crease
01:42Even John T Rhodes couldn't reach that this will give you a better view watch his back foot
01:46And his front foot and not pointing straight down the wicket, so he stayed side on
01:52He couldn't resist it because he's seen so few deliveries to try and play that shot in this innings in fact the last three innings
02:10He's played a few shots on the up as Astor this time. He doesn't get it quite right straight to Nicky Boye
02:17Relatively simple catch he doesn't miss those and New Zealanders lose their first wicket Astor gone for eight
02:2323 for one
02:36Shafiq Abrahams, it's his one-day international debut and Nevin is gone
02:42Abrahams looks back at the scoreboard to see that he's played a pretty awkward shot off his hip and another simple catch
02:54Abrahams number 35 on the back
02:57His first match and he's on the score sheet Nevin goes for 12. He's 32 years of age
03:03In his 69th inning 75th game
03:12In the end just dropping short Nicky Boye is very very quick on his feet
03:20And I suppose John G Rhodes is the only one who might have got six inches. I think you would have grabbed all of it
03:34Oh, it's a straight hit couldn't be straight up, and that is definitely saved for anything over 24 for two
03:42A couple of all-rounders going home Chris Cairns, of course
03:47So things are looking a bit thin
03:52It's a very good shot just in front of square John G Rhodes the chaser he'll track it down
03:56There's no doubt about it or will he no he won't goodness me. He's timed it very well. It's gone for four
04:06Isn't this outfield quick it's great lightning with this as it races away for four
04:12It's
04:16Good running very good running. That's maybe what they've got to do
04:20Yeah, I think when you're in a spot of bother like they are at the moment in
04:25It's a good delivery and twos is just a little bit lucky
04:34Short and wide and gone John G Rhodes in the spot right on the target
04:40Steven Fleming has picked him out and Donald has struck at his first over and how often think the opposition captain
04:48And a big smiling Alan Donald there Nikki. Yeah, he's pretty pumped up living. I'll be upset with this
04:54It's wide it's short and he's hit it straight it boy a he grabbed his. Oh, that's it drives a big importance
05:00He's caught it easily
05:02But that had for written all over it when he first delivered it
05:06Rhodes over the moon
05:11So Fleming goes for eight New Zealand and deeper trouble at from this tour
05:14He's going home and some treatment on that bad knee of his 30 years of age. There's no youngster anymore, but he's a wonderful player
05:27As you got it through yes, he has that's a good shot now
05:30The outfield is quick Nikki, but yeah is the man who's got the wheels on he's not going to catch it though
05:35And that's a much-needed boundary
05:38And off to the miss field, it's just raced away you can see just just time that little bit of the bottom man coming in
05:43he's left and
05:45Always an interesting battle between the two ex-war extra players Alan Donald
05:50twos
05:52Fine when they play at twos
06:00Lovely shot that's found the gap. That's a beauty just a little bit of width and
06:05Twos he's in top form
06:09And Donald just a little bit of width outside the off stump and the despairing dive is from boy, yeah
06:22Kellis to Cairns
06:25wide for
06:27One ball there to Chris Cairns. He's a wonderful striker and if you give
06:34Over pitched and that'll go across the ropes again
06:41Doc Ellis
06:42gesticulating
06:43He's not happy about something. It's a
06:45wave to
06:47Rather irritated arm out at Sean Pollock's direction and Pollock has responded by coming out of the gully now
06:52And has pushed cover back onto the sweeper fence on the offside
06:57But what a good shot such a straight bet
07:05Oh
07:07Well, he's gone wayward has Jack Cullis
07:10It's off the pad, but it's four to the total and this is a big over for New Zealand
07:23And that is a cracking shot that wasn't quite a half volley and goodness me hasn't he taken told us over
07:30superb for New Zealand
07:32Four fours from Cairns or three from Cairns one leg by New Zealand 66 for three
07:40He's hit this so hard Pollock has made a despairing drive at a short cover position
07:45But I think he just nipped his fingers out the way of that one that would have taken his hand off
07:49He's hit this like a bullet
07:55Yeah, his shot selection is superb and that was a glorious shot and
08:00All the way this outfield at Newlands really has quickened up since last season
08:05Donald kicks the wickets or at the wickets with frustration as he goes back to his mark here
08:09But really not much wrong with the delivery
08:13Perhaps a little bit of width, but really this is a superb cricket shot from Chris Cairns
08:17A
08:25Lovely shot it's a great shot well in front of square on the leg side one bounce for Cairns means business today
08:33saying why
08:35Might have a bad knee, but why can't you stand back? Why not that is a fantastic shot?
08:40It's well played fast outfield Gary Kirsten sitting off after it will he get there yes, he does two more runs
08:50One of the reasons why Roger Tews has done so well on this tour and is developing
08:56It's a great shot. It's a wonderful shot. That's absolutely outstanding from Roger Tews. You talked about uncanny shots
09:02You won't see more uncanny than that
09:04Down the pitch and gets the arms going and hits it dead straight for Rudy
09:10Up go the arms
09:12No sweeter feeling in cricket than hitting a reasonably quick ball over his head for six
09:17It's in the air. It's gone high, but I think it's going to be safe. Yes. It is
09:21No one near that one and ten runs off two balls. Well Lance had plenty to serve for the first ball
09:27At the moment Roger Tews has let the bat do the talking particularly with that shot that is a beauty
09:33The other one certainly a huge element of luck involved in that one
09:42I think it's great. They try to outlaw some of it, but when it's good natured
09:46I think particularly on television that it adds a bit to it
09:49It's gone again, he's hit it beautifully and he's hit it for six
09:53So 16 runs off just three balls. This is brilliant stuff for Roger Tews
09:59It's great for the crowd
10:00It's great for the game and it's good for the spirits in the museum people would say you got you've hit him for six and
10:04Four just sit all sit all I know
10:07Not if you're Roger
10:09It's great for the game. It's good for the spirits in the museum
10:12Some people would say you got you've hit him for six and four just sit all sit all I know
10:16Not if you're Roger
10:18Oh Lance
10:20Yep
10:22You gave the Kiwis a taste of that. Yep, fair enough
10:26What a pity he's going home for the tests
10:31Very good shot
10:33Round two to Lance Kluzner
10:35To Roger Tews rather
10:37And also brings up Tews' 50
10:40Well that is a cricket shot and a half that
10:42Because he's had to pat back two or three slow balls
10:45They love a classy shot Johnny Rhodes on the charge
10:47Not one price of stopping there
10:49Along the carpet all the way
10:55It's a glorious stroke through extra cover
10:57You're not going to get that one
10:59That's gone for another four so the second boundary off the over
11:01From Lance Kluzner
11:03So good work again from New Zealand
11:05130 for three
11:09He's tried it
11:11And he's hit it very well indeed
11:13It's a stop microphone well the microphone
11:15The effects microphone it is
11:17So that's done some extra damage
11:21Well because they've stopped clapping all of a sudden
11:23Out in the deep
11:25This is a meaty blower
11:27Finger was always just around the corner
11:29Wants to stem some authority on the bowler
11:31And the equipment
11:39It's a lovely hit
11:42Very good hit straight again
11:44And it's gone a long long way back for six
11:50Well they're loving this all around the ground
11:52Not just in the New Zealand viewing area
11:54It's a marvellous shot
11:56Because he's not quite there and he just carries it through
11:58With his power
12:00And the fact that he stays pretty still
12:02While he plays the shot
12:04He doesn't panic he knows he's got to hit it on the up
12:06But he carries on through still head
12:08And that's his strength down the ground
12:12It's gone again
12:14And he's hit it beautifully
12:16Has it gone further
12:18Goodness me it has what a wonderful blow again
12:20Smith are you enjoying this
12:22Well this is because it's brilliant hitting
12:24And it's setting a game up
12:26Which is even more important
12:28A game that looked like it was going to be a bit one sided
12:30About an hour ago ain't anymore
12:32And that is tremendous hitting
12:34That is right in the slot
12:36And dead straight
12:38Dead straight
12:40Marvellous to watch
12:42And if you paid 50 rand to get in
12:44Already you've got your doze worth
12:50We'll round it off with 15
12:52End of a terrific over again from New Zealand
12:54150 for 3
13:06And so often how doesn't that happen
13:08He's going for a few of the middle of the bat
13:10And then he has the beating of the batsman
13:12But it's thick enough to get past the
13:14Diving
13:16Voucher
13:22Good shot that's going to be touch and go
13:24It's more the go
13:26Beats Abrahams beautifully timed shot
13:28Another four
13:32Pulled away
13:34That's found the gap
13:38Four more six no he's gone all the way
13:40That's the longest part of the ground
13:42In front of the whistle
13:44Initially
13:46You got the impression that was going straight up in the air
13:52That's gone high
13:56Fielder under it
13:58No goodness me
14:00He didn't time that very well
14:02He hit it very very high up to Jacques Cullis
14:04Running around from long on
14:07Well perhaps at other grounds in world cricket
14:09This would have comfortably fell
14:11Within a yard or two of the fence
14:13But it's quite short
14:15The boundary out straight at Newlands
14:23Out
14:25Did it carry
14:27Pollock thinks it did
14:29Buta Dipena
14:31Roger Tooze initially was just going to walk off
14:33But Buta Dipena indicating
14:35He wasn't quite sure
14:37Pollock thought he
14:41Out
14:43Straight to the captain
14:45And the crowd are on their feet
14:47Telemarcus has done the job for Pollock
14:49And what a reception he'll get
14:51From this wonderful Newlands crowd
14:55That's what makes playing at Newlands so special
14:57You can feel the goosebumps as the crowd rise
14:59To give and recognise a great innings
15:0184 only 73 deliveries
15:04Seven fours and four sixes
15:06But full march to Roger Telemarcus
15:08He came on and he just stemmed the flow
15:10And cares not over to get underneath that one
15:12Straight to middle
15:14Pollock takes a very
15:16Grateful catch I'm sure
15:1866 innings
15:20Just over 1400 runs
15:26Well a little bit of luck there
15:28Alan Donald didn't enjoy it
15:30Roger Tooze will enjoy the end result
15:32I've seen Roger Tooze have a bit of luck
15:34The rest has been perfect
15:36A little inside edge as it flies past Boucher
15:42That's a good shot
15:44It's gone very fine of Boucher
15:46And too fine for anyone else to be in the frame
15:50Beautifully placed
15:54Just precision timing
15:56Waited for it magnificently
15:59Very close
16:01Yes
16:03Too close
16:05It kept a little low
16:07Macmillan looking to hit through square leg
16:09Instead of straight
16:11Pays the price
16:13You saw Cairns hit the ball straight
16:15You've watched Roger Tooze all day
16:17He played marvellously up the ground
16:19Macmillan's come in
16:21And tried to steer this one away
16:23Through square leg
16:25That sort of area
16:27So
16:29Macmillan goes LBW to Pollock
16:31He doesn't panic
16:33He's not a huge hitter
16:35Of the ball
16:41Length is the key
16:43Helps if you get it straight
16:45Pollock didn't on that occasion
16:51He's got that through
16:53He's going to be looking for two
16:56And pick up two runs
16:58So there it is
17:00They're going to go back for the third
17:02And that is a memorable hundred for Roger Tooze
17:06What a wonderful knock
17:08A big smile from him
17:10He's enjoyed his cricket here in South Africa
17:12And good support from his teammates
17:14Maybe straight to the field
17:16Yes he has
17:18He can't do anything wrong
17:20Here's the catcher
17:22It's the end of what has been
17:24And probably the only time
17:26That an up and out slog or big hit
17:28Without taking note of where the fielders are
17:30Is justified
17:32And that's in the closing overs of a one day game
17:34The crowd rouses two Roger Tooze
17:36That's David Trist with the moustache
17:38103
17:4010 fours and two sixes
17:42New Zealand 238 for six
17:44So we're into the 46 over
17:46Perori who's playing his 150th game
17:48Only the second New Zealander to do so
17:54Quick single
17:56And a return from Darryl Cullinan
17:58Umpire Rudy Cootson
18:00Is going to have a look
18:02Here it is the red light
18:04Eventually well that took some time
18:06Remarkably it took some time
18:08Can't believe it really
18:10But quite simple Dave
18:12People are giving run out
18:14Quite annoying if you're Adam Perori
18:16239 for seven
18:18Got some runs in Kenya
18:20Need to get some runs today
18:23Once again it's a
18:25Reflection of batting with only a couple of overs to go
18:27Where you can't afford to be selfish
18:32It's well struck but it's straight to the fielder
18:34And not for the first time today
18:36Sean Pollock has taken the catch
18:38Chris Harris departs
18:40Disappointed because this is his shot
18:42He's so strong through extra cover
18:44He hits it quite nicely but just picks out the fielder
18:48And that partnership of Pollock and Telemachus
18:50Has struck once before today
18:52Harris is gone for six
18:5418 deliveries which is not his best one day knock
18:56But New Zealand 249 play
19:00Playing his second one day international
19:02Second of the series as well
19:06It's a good shot
19:08It's a very good shot indeed
19:10It's not going to go for four though
19:12They're going to finish with two
19:14But it's important to get runs off the first ball of the over
19:17No run again
19:23Could be a run out
19:25Should be a run out
19:27Is a run out
19:31He saw that Pollock was trying to beat him
19:33And he
19:35Himself tried to put in a little spurt there
19:37But just not quite quick enough
19:41So it's good thinking from Pollock
19:43Styrus goes for eight
19:45Hasn't had the best of times on this tour so far
19:47Gary Kirsten has had the wood over him
19:55He's picked that pretty well
19:57They're going to have to come back for two
19:59Gary Kirsten is the fielder
20:01And they're safely home
20:03So that's a good effort from Brock Walker
20:05Right at the death
20:07New Zealand end up with 256 for nine
20:09Off 50 overs
20:11They were three for 39
20:14It's a tie between Twos and Cairns
20:16Twos essentially is first
20:18Two for 44 for Pollock
20:20Three for 30 for Telemachus
20:28Inroads there
20:30Averaging 33.2
20:32Three hundredths
20:34Blake's batting at Cape Town
20:38Cairns leg side first up
20:40Cullinan's just turned it around the corner
20:42Cairns leg side
20:46Half volley on leg stump
20:48And they have got to go
20:50Doesn't matter whether you're opening the batting
20:52Or batting down the order
20:54It's really a free hit with the field placement
20:56The way it is
20:58Fine leg back and just a man behind square
21:00So Chris Cairns will be conscious
21:02That he is a wicket taker
21:04And he does have to strike here
21:07Thick outside edge
21:09But there is protection
21:11Kirsten off the mark
21:15Got him
21:17What a lovely delivery
21:19Darrell Cullinan trying to go
21:21Over mid on
21:23Shane O'Connor
21:25It's been the worst performed batsman
21:27And back goes middle stump
21:29It was an ambitious shot
21:31He really didn't need to play it
21:33Because he had the boundary
21:35He misses out
21:37South Africa 16-1
21:39Just 25 years of age
21:41It's quite remarkable really
21:43Playing in his 114th game for South Africa
21:45Already scored 500s
21:47It could be gone
21:49He is gone
21:51So O'Connor is on fire here
21:53Two wickets and two balls
21:55And two world class players
21:57I was about to say
21:59And what a start this is for him
22:02Jacques Carles shakes his head
22:04When he has another look
22:06He won't shake his head at the decision
22:08Maybe the footwork
22:10It's pitched in line
22:12It's going on to hit middle and leg
22:14Low down
22:16He's not that far forward
22:18And for once Jacques Carles fails
22:20And New Zealand are in this ball game
22:26So Bier scored 641 runs
22:28In one day internationals
22:30Over half in fact
22:34He's off the mark straight away
22:36Nice and positive
22:38There's a bit of a chase on here
22:40The outfield is fast
22:42McMillan the chaser doesn't get there
22:44Good start for Bier
22:46It's well played
22:48Fast outfield
22:50It's going to be touch and go
22:52It's good work again from O'Connor
22:54And just two runs
22:56That's really good fielding
22:59Got him
23:01He's got another one
23:03Shane O'Connor
23:05This has been absolutely outstanding stuff
23:07From the Kiwis
23:09And O'Connor is leading from the front
23:11Nicky Bier big danger man departs
23:13Well the golden series has come to an end
23:15For the left hander
23:17He should get a good ovation
23:19For his contribution
23:21But this was a beauty
23:23He had to play that line
23:25Look at that deflection
23:27Look at that deflection
23:29Straight through to Adam Perori
23:31Absolutely no doubt
23:33Bier looked around and walked
23:35And he is almost back in the hut
23:37That's pretty impressive
23:39Runs per six balls faced
23:41At just under five
23:47Good shot
23:49That'll be four
23:52He moves
23:54But keeps it pretty straight
23:56On this occasion
23:58And his balance is perfect
24:02Certainly is a battle on out there
24:06Glorious shot
24:08That is superb
24:10And listen to the noise
24:12The crowd love him
24:14They love the shot
24:16Monty Rhodes cover driving
24:18Has been something to behold
24:20Gets his foot right out to the pitch
24:22Wade going into the shot
24:24And he times it sweetly
24:28Good shot by Gary Kirstle
24:30He's flicked that away off his pads
24:32It's behind square
24:34For Maul
24:38And that's the risk of trying to
24:40Ball too straight to Kirstle
24:42Very square
24:46Out
24:49Did it carry? Yes it did
24:51And Kirstle completely deceived
24:53That's what Davidson was talking about
24:55The deception in the air
24:57Far too early
24:59And South Africa have lost their fourth
25:01I think what also Harris was able to do
25:03Was just hold it up a little bit
25:05The ball just gripped slightly on this Newlands wicket
25:07Which is drying out quickly
25:09As the day goes on
25:11And because of that Kirstle plays too early
25:13And gets the leading edge
25:1965 for 4 South Africa
25:21He's got a chance to
25:23Show us he can make runs
25:25Under pressure
25:31Another lovely drive, square drive might go for 4
25:33In fact it does, that's a very good shot
25:35Very good timing from Rhodes
25:37Yeah what a good shot this was
25:39He's timed it superbly
25:41He's been given room
25:43He's hit it superbly
25:49Great shot by Rhodes
26:03And made the comment
26:05As John G Rhodes looks to scan for 2
26:07Coming back for 2, that's good running
26:09Danger in voucher but safely home
26:11Good work from Harris
26:19No that was just a standard leg spinner
26:23Too short and too wide and that brings up the 100
26:33He's got that through but no further punishment
26:35Well
26:37There is in the end
26:40Spearman just couldn't get off the ground
26:44Well the fielding's been so good so far
26:46From the New Zealanders and they've been let down
26:48Just a little bit there by Spearman
26:52Yeah what happens here is Rhodes puts pressure on you doesn't he
26:54He's down the wicket, he's calling his partners to say look for 2
27:00He's got that away for 6
27:02It's a very important blow
27:06Now this is a fine stroke
27:08And what has happened here Rhodes is starting to pick the pace of Harris
27:14He holds up the pace here, he's gone, he's leaned back
27:16And whopped him straight over square leg, what a fine stroke
27:20But it's the pace that he's getting used to now
27:22He's leaned back and hit it, he hasn't gone on the front foot
27:24Good shot
27:32It's not going to die wandering Chris Harris, that's for sure
27:38Good work guys
27:4250 up for a local hero
27:48He is that
27:50He's a modest individual with it all
27:54And he acknowledges the applause of the crowd
28:08He's looking for 2, vouchers coming
28:12Oh yes, great cricket, it really is
28:14It wasn't bad fielding either
28:18It was just superb running
28:20And Rhodes is taking this game by the scruff of the neck
28:22Not with power, with speed
28:26He knows he's hit it soft enough to perhaps get 2
28:28But Astle as you say did well
28:30And a direct hit here would have been very interesting
28:34That's a glorious shot
28:37And he's just proved how well he plays under pressure
28:41Runs have been hard for Mark Boucher
28:43Boundaries have been hard for South Africa
28:45But Boucher
28:47Has timed it to perfection
28:57Pulled away
28:59And it's a super shot
29:03How about that is a touch of class Mike
29:05Boucher you got it
29:09Pulled away
29:11And Rhodes has hit a boundary for South Africa
29:13Much needed, just one prior to that last delivery
29:17So 5 from the other
29:19South Africa after 35, 170 for 4
29:25That's out
29:27I don't think there's any doubt that that is out
29:29Umpire Ian Howell says he wants the third umpire to have a look
29:32I don't even know if they should have a look Michael
29:34This is superbly bowled
29:36Absolutely superbly bowled
29:38It's got Rhodes playing forward
29:40It's turned
29:42And that I'm afraid is out
29:44And beautifully bowled by Walker
29:46Superbly bowled
29:48Yes bat was over the line
29:50But it hadn't touched the ground
29:52A beautiful piece of bowling by Brook Walker
29:54And a superb innings by John G Rhodes
29:5680 deliveries for his 69
29:58Wonderful applause from this large crowd
30:00And he's disappointed John G Rhodes
30:02South Africa one station
30:04From this Newlands crowd
30:12It's going to be Chris Harris
30:14To Boucher
30:18The first delivery
30:20Harris bowls
30:22Of this over has completely deceived Boucher
30:24He played forward
30:27Completely deceived Boucher
30:29He played far too early
30:31He's done him in the flight
30:33And Boucher's trying to hit this through mid wicket
30:35You'll see him tilt the bat
30:37He's completed the shot
30:39And it knocks down middle stump
30:41Very very well bowled by Chris Harris
30:43What a vital wicket
30:45He really bowled that superbly
30:47Boucher 46 South Africa 173 for 6
30:49Sean Pollock South Africa captain
30:51Let's take him guard
30:57Pollock has gone for the big one
30:59He's hit it a long way in the air
31:01Looks like it's going to be out
31:03It is
31:05So that's a big wicket for the Kiwis
31:07Very very important wicket
31:09The captain goes
31:11Donald to go
31:13Pollock trying to get to the pitch
31:15But it's not quite there
31:17And the ball just spinning slightly on him
31:19And all he can do really
31:21Is sky straight up into the air
31:23Caught sub
31:25But tough he was
31:27Tough he was the catcher
31:29Pollock goes for 8
31:31189 for 7
31:33Debut for Shafiq Abrahams
31:35Very unorthodox type of batsman
31:37Likes cutting
31:45Unorthodox
31:47Might go for 4
31:50Important boundary
31:54If he does get run
31:56Those are the kind of shots
31:58You're likely to see
32:00Unorthodox little guides
32:02And pushes and prods
32:16It's gone
32:18Has he gone over? Yes he has
32:20Right over the top for 6
32:22So this is make or break I feel
32:24For South Africa
32:26And it's a good start of the first ball
32:28At the 44th over
32:32Well this is what this big crowd
32:34Has really come to see
32:36And if he does it from here
32:38It'll be a tremendous effort
32:41Hasn't hit that one properly
32:47Whoops Shafiq Abrahams is down
32:49And they decide to stay
32:51With just
32:55Shafiq goes over the top
32:57And he might have got it
32:59No he hasn't
33:01Yes he has
33:03Astle couldn't quite stop it
33:05So that's a very good blow
33:07From Shafiq Abrahams
33:09He'll be looking towards
33:11Long on I'm sure
33:13He's hit it beautifully
33:15And it's gone for 6
33:17That is a terrific blow
33:19Second ball of the over
33:21So this has to be and could be a biggie
33:24Half volley
33:38Gone
33:40Can't ball there
33:42Not to him
33:44Right on their feet
33:46Their man's doing it again
33:50And Ian Smith was talking about the length
33:52You can't ball this length
33:54You've got to rather ball a low full toss
33:58Than a shorter length
34:00And Lance Cluster advances as well
34:02So that wasn't a good delivery
34:08I don't know why he bothered to look so long
34:10He knew where it was going
34:12Now then O'Connor
34:14Get it right this time
34:16Again half volley
34:18That's a bigger one
34:21That is not good bowling
34:23I know the margin for error
34:25Is slim but you've got to deliver
34:27What a crowd
34:29And are they having some fun this afternoon
34:31They've seen some fantastic cricket today
34:33And this man
34:35What do you say about this
34:37First two deliveries
34:39He is faced from
34:41O'Connor
34:43Abrahams got the single and the next two deliveries
34:45Went bang and bang
34:47Out the park
34:51In the air
34:53This is a chance
34:55Spearman runs forward
34:57Can't get it
34:59It's gone through his legs
35:01It won't get to the rope or will it
35:03Walker does brilliantly
35:05They'll come back for three
35:07Spearman took the gamble
35:09He thought he could take the catch
35:11In the end
35:13Tossed two more
35:15And I think he had to choose the right option
35:17Here in going for the catch
35:19They were pretty much
35:23Holding the ascendancy
35:25That's for sure
35:29Follows him
35:31He hasn't hit it over the rope
35:33Spearman goes round again
35:35He'll get two
35:37He keeps the strike
35:39Well not a very good length
35:41Again from O'Connor
35:43He bowled it a bit short
35:45He's got to get right in that block hole
35:48But Klusner just chips it over
35:50As
35:52Well a belated applause from the crowd
35:54As everyone suddenly realises
35:56The great man has got 50
36:02Half volley
36:04Smashes it straight
36:06He gets four
36:08Unbelievable shot
36:10The length was wrong
36:12The bowler in the background knows it
36:14They need three from one
36:16They've seen some cricket
36:18They're on their feet
36:20As the man Klusner hits it straight
36:22One bounce
36:24Over the ropes
36:26And what a climax to this game
36:28It's been
36:30South Africa need three more runs to win
36:32Just one ball remaining
36:34Two runs will be a tie
36:38O'Connor
36:40Low full toss
36:42He's done it again
36:45South Africa have pulled off yet another
36:47Unlikely victory
36:49He is a genuine hero
36:51The Kiwis are absolutely
36:53Distraught but up on that balcony
36:55They stand for that man
36:57And they jump for that man
36:59He is an amazing asset
37:01Unbelievable
37:03Lance Klusner
37:05The crowd rise to you
37:07You've done it again
37:09Absolutely amazing
37:11I didn't think it was possible he could do it again
37:13But he surely has
37:1559 not out, 42 deliveries
37:17Two fours
37:19The last one being the clincher
37:21To go with his four sixes
37:23Unbelievable
37:25And let's not forget Shafiq Abraham
37:27The partnership was the key
37:2969 from 54 balls
37:31Klusner will get the headlines
37:33Abraham should get some recognition
37:35His first game
37:37He will remember it very fondly
37:40And there it is
37:42South Africa set
37:44257
37:48Rhodes and Boucher got the innings
37:50Under way after a shaky start
37:52Good partnership
37:54Between those two
37:56Klusner 59 from 42
37:58And a partnership of 69 with Abraham
38:00Funny little innings from the captain
38:02Which really set South Africa back
38:04Pollock couldn't get going
38:06From a bowling point of view
38:08He tried all of his options
38:10Good day for young Brook Walker
38:12Picked up his first two wickets
38:14In international cricket
38:16Two for 43 from his nine
38:18Cairns 10 overs, none for 45
38:20And then limped off, he's on his way home
38:22O'Connor nine overs, one maiden
38:24Three for 55, he did the damage at the top
38:26But he'll be hurting at the end
38:28Harris two for 45 from 10
38:30His kind of pitch, maybe Astle
38:32Could have been used a bit more
38:34Three overs no maidens, none for 14
38:36That's the smallest thing
38:38And that will be reflected on
38:40I'm sure long into the night
