Match State: Match start scheduled for 10am local time (8am GMT)

       Welcome to St georges Park for the 6th ODI between RSA and AUS
       South Africa have won the toss and will bat first
       RSA have brought in Telemacus for Hayward
       Aus have included Lehmann and Watson for Maher and Lee
       Australia leading the series 4:0 will look to extend that and go
        for the whitewash
       South Africa will try and save face by winning at least one of the
        last two
       The pitch looks good, and made for batting, with Pollock not
        hesitating to bat after winning the toss
       It is a bit windy at the groound, but there is not a cloud in the
        sky
       Even though the sun is out, it is however fairly cool in the middle
