South Africa vs Australia - 3rd ODI
A flat track in Durban, where we decided to have a bowl after winning the toss.
SA Innings
Watson and McDermott took the new ball, Watson doing well to remove # early. It was however a great pitch for batting and SA proceeded at an easy 5 per over for much of the innings. Some good hitting towards the end saw them reach 5/282.
Australian Innings.
In a word: Tepid. No-one at the top made runs and when no's 4-6 got in they got out again in the 30's. We made 212 and SA a convincing series win.
AB Medal
3 Watson - bowled pretty well.
2 Faulkner - OK all round performance
1 Hughes - at least he is scoring consistently…
Verdict
These starts are so frustrating - like the current team though, none of the other bats are putting their hands up.
