1 x 5 ball overs Also some calls on the no ball and wides bowled from the same end Two of the no balls were shown with the bowlers heel well behind the line, something that should not but does happen in International cricket Your comments on this and the cricket today would be appreciated ... mail them to comms@cricinfo.com Presentations starting Carl Hooper comes up Samuels has been on form all season, but the rest of us did not stay with him We should be looking at 250 on a pitch like this, but we ended 50 short We can still win the series and have to stay positive Pollock comes up We did a good job in the field, and then batted well Dippenaar did well and took his chance, injuries will happen and it is nice to have guys to fill in the shoes The series is nearly over and we would like to finish it off on the winning side Man of the Match ... Samueals did well with the bat, Pollock bowled well, as did Ntini and Donald, but Donald wins it with after conceeding 14 runs in his first over came back to take 4 wickets Donald ... It was a tough start fro me against Brian, he is class and came out firing at me I am just glad I came out of it on top We knew we had to vary the pace today on this pitch and it worked for us, thank you Thats it from CricInfo today, be back with you on Wednesday for the 5th ODI Good night all Contributed by The Management (help@cricinfo.com)
