SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 148 RUNS!

Comprehensive victory for the Proteas.  AB de Villiers played a knock that surely will never be repeated very soon.  Something completely out of this world.

South Africa lead the series 2-0.

18 Jan 2015

All slowly coming to an end, the West Indies clearly don't want to be bowled out here.

Behadien is back into the attack.   He runs in to Holder.

18 Jan 2015

HALF CENTURY FOR RAMDIN

That is his 6th ODI fifty.  It cam off 45 balls with 4x4 and 1x6. 

18 Jan 2015

WICKET!  A short, quick delivery, Carter tries to pull over midwicket, but Steyn has rushed him there and he only spoons it to mid-on.  

Nice innings from the West Indies youngster.

JL Carter c sub (WD Parnell) b Steyn 40 (39b 3x4 1x6) SR: 102.56

Carter playing a wide range of strokes at the moment off Steyn, unfortunately for him, he is not making any contact.

18 Jan 2015

Tahir returns...

18 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Byes, as the ball misses everything and rolls to the boundary.

18 Jan 2015

De Villiers wanting to get through the fifth bowler now it seems as Duminy returns to bowl in tandem with Behadien.

18 Jan 2015

Behadien crashes to the ground after delivering a ball.  His front foot has slipped there.  That looks nasty, but he is up on his feet now.

18 Jan 2015
