South Africa vs Australia, 7th one day international.
Played at Newlands, Cape Town, 6th April 1994.

Australia won by 36 runs.

Mark Taylor and Mark Waugh shared a partnership of  123  runs  to
set  up an Australian victory. When Waugh joined Taylor Australia
were in trouble at 10/2 but together they helped make sure   that
Australia  remained  in  the  running  to  share the series. They
scored at over 4 runs an over throughout  their partnership   and
set up the platform for a big total. Taylor was run out for 63 in
an unlucky fashion. Mark Waugh lofted the ball to Kuiper at  mid-
off   who   dropped   a  fairly easy catch.  Kuiper picked up the
ball and, seeing Taylor  out  of  his  ground,  threw  down   the
stumps   to  run him out. Mark Waugh was out soon afterwards when
he had big a swing at a Matthews  delivery,  missed  it  and  was
bowled   for   71.  Steve  Waugh,  Allan Border and Ian Healy all
chipped in towards the end of the innings to bring the Australian
total up to a very good  242.  Needing  to  score at almost 5 per
over, South Africa were faced by some extemely  tight  Australian
bowling  and  never really looked like scoring the required runs.
The brightest bat- ting came in the Hudson/Cronje partnership  of
79  runs  for the 2nd wicket.  Hudson  scored  his second succes-
sive fifty while Cronje was dropped twice in scoring  37.  Rhodes
and   Kuiper  weighed  in with  useful scores but they were never
able to score fast enough to threaten  the  Australian  score  of
242. Shane Warne was the best of  the  bowlers  and  his 3/31 off
10 overs really disrupted the middle part of the SA  innings  and
made sure  they  wouldn't  come close to winning.
