cover where the fielder gets to it but can't stop a run
End of over 60 (1 run) Australia 282/2 (RR: 4.70 RRR: 5/16 = 0.31)
JA Rudolph 11-0-49-0 (1w) - Randwick End
RT Ponting 138* (157b 15x4) BJ Hodge 26* (41b 3x4)
60.1 Botha to Ponting, one run, steps down the track to drive through
wide mid on
60.2 Botha to Hodge, one run, charges down the track to drive to the
long off fielder
60.3 Botha to Ponting, FOUR, tossed full outside off, struck away with a
blazing cover drive for the winning runs
So Australia wins the Test by taking full advantage of Graeme
Smith's generous last day declaration
And consequently take the series two nil
South Africa could feel a bit hard done by: with most of day four
lost to rain, they were forced into a situation where they had to
risk losing a match that they had controlled so much of in order
to have a chance of winning
And on a pitch that had remained in tact under overcast skies all
match, it was always going to be difficult to defend such a
moderate target
The South African bowling on the final day was pedestrian at best,
and rarely anything that troubled two of the best batsman in the
world in Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden
