Australia vs South Africa, 3rd ODI at Sydney, , Jan 23 2009 - Match Result

lovely shot off bent knee, Tait pitches full and wide and Botha gets to the pitch, driving a classy shot between the covers, and thats it for Australia as South Africa go up 2-1

too wide this time, wobbling away, Botha chases and misses

fuller still, inviting the drive, but Botha watches it go to Haddin

full outside off stump, he kneels down and drives to extra cover

one hit too many, trying to finish it off with a six, but he doesn't get the desired power on the slog and the ball is taken down at wide long-on by Hopes, running around and sliding onto his knees to complete a good catch

smartly fired in wider and Albie has a swing and a miss

swings again and pings the midwicket ropes, what fun he is

swings across the line again, miscuing this one up into the starry night, Marsh runs across from midwicket and dives in vain, just missing what would have been a blinder

there she goes! Albie doesn't waste a second in sizing up Hauritz, who tosses it up from around the stumps, down he goes, clearing the front leg and depositing that into the second tier above midwicket, what a stunning hit

sweeps from outside off stump into the gap behind square leg

full down leg stump, Albie also moves away and flicks with it away for four, a shot of immense confidence and whats more, he's picked out the gap to ease the pressure

very full again and this time Boucher squeezes it wide of point

fuller ball outside off and Boucher hits it back to Bracken

pitches and slants into leg stump, Albie coolly tucks it for a single

whoa there, Albie! Once more he moves outside leg stump and goes for a cut, this time just scooping it over a leaping Marsh at point

slips up a wide full toss and Bracken cuts it past point for one

makes room, Tait pitches full, and Boucher drives it to extra cover

attempted yorker on off stump, again Morkel backs away and steers the ball toward third man and scampers off, Tait has over-stepped so another free hit

another yorker, this one two feet outside off stump to beat the bat

pitches on the stumps and he plays it back to Tait
