16 Nov 2014

16 Nov 2014

WICKET!
The part-timer gets a wicket. Rossouw has a flash at well pitched up delivery only to edge it to Smith at slip. Rossouw will be livid with himself. Maxwell strikes at just the right time for Australia. They desperately needed a wicket.

De Villiers is the new man in.
