brings the dangerous Lee on strike

48.3 Pollock to Lee, two runs, driven straight

Match State: Innings Break
Well that is the break in the innings - the final stand made 88
runs - by far the best - and took full toll of the delightfull
track
Kallis bowled the final over - sorry about the false comms.
For the bonus point Australia need to have South Africa all out for
227
We'll be back after the break - see you soon

than an injury depleted side in New Zealand

16.2 Bichel to Kallis, no run, beaten outside off with a ball just short
of a length

The irony is if we were playing last years rules - South Africa
would play Australia in the finals on the run rate - but it is
hardly a fair comparison
South Africa were only playing for the bonus point and Steve Waugh
will have known that
Perth results seem to always have other implications
Thats it from us here at the WACA - we hope you enjoyed the game -
see you next time at the VB series finals
