Aussies win a thriller
JOHANNESBURG. Apr 9: New cap Michael di Venuto set Australia up for an eight-run victory over a 'never-say-die' South Africa here Tuesday, putting the tourists 3-2 ahead in their seven-match limited-overs international series, reports ’ AFP.
Di Venuto with a career-best of 89 in Only his fourth one-day international, help put his team firmly in the driving seat — 258 for seven — the highest score of the current series and a record against South Africa on the Wanderers pitch.
Even with the bat-friendly wicket, it was a tall order for the gallant home side who came tantalising close with 250 for the loss of eight wickets.
South Africa came charging out after the dinner break, with Adam Bacher (6) and Herschelle Gibbs (22) putting on a brisk 27.
But the fast start ground to a halt when they lost three wickets in the space of 11 balls — Gibbs going lbw to Adam Dale on a controversial decision by umpire Barry Lambson.
When all seemed lost, however, Jacques Kallis (55) and Daryll Cullinan (53), put South Africa back into the game with a sparkling 101 run partnership that included three sixes from Kallis — two of them consecutive hits that took the score over the 100-mark.
This pivotal partnership was finally broken when Greb Blewett clean bowled Cullinan. Kallis was later caught by Steve Waugh off Jason Gillespie's bowling.
Gillespie got his second scalp six runs later when Jonty Rhodes, often known to rescue
South Africa in the middle order but Tuesday managing only 10 runs, was caught by Law off Gillespie.
Skipper Hansie Cronje and Shaun Pollock turned up the heat again, putting the run-rate at a par with Australia's with a valuable 73-run partnership for the sixth wicket.
With South Africa needing 22 runs off two overs. Pollock put on 40 in 46 balls before he £ve Law his second catch of the y.
Ultimately. Australian skipper Ian Healy's decision to bat first paid off for the tourists.
Di Venuto anchored the innings with fellow opener Blewett, frustrating the South African bowling attack and capitalising particularly on the fierce pace of Allan Donald.
Blewett brought the score up to 50 with a stylish six and the pair put on a solid 93-run partnership.
It was left to Cronje to break the partnership, Blewett nicking the ball on the bottom edge of the bat into the hands of wicketkeeper Dave Richardson off Cronje’s first ball of the game.
Two overs later. Law, the only batsman to score under 20 runs, tried to flick another ball from Cronje down the gully and it landed in the hands of Derek Crookes.
Di Venuto. however, merrily went on his way. making 51 in partnership with Adam Gillchrist, brought right up the order from his usual 11 th spot.
The young Tasmanian finally went lbw to Donald after adding 89 runs to the board.
