South Africa Vs Australia

David Warner is now eligible to take a leadership role in Big Bash League (BBL) Club Sydney Thunders

South Africa's power-packed batting unit suffered a light-out against Australia, but they found enough support from the packed Eden Gardens crowd during the second semifinal of the World Cup here Thursday. So, why did the Kolkatans cheer for the Proteas? It was quite simple as they preferred an India vs South Africa title clash on Sunday at Ahmedabad. Everyone knows what Aussies are capable of in a World Cup final. We dread to see an India-Australia final, so want them to lose today, said Rashmi Bhattacharya, a software professional who had come with his 14-year-old son, sporting a Quinton De Kock jersey. She represented the thousands of Indian spectators at the Eden, who cheered 'South Africaa, South Africaa", hoping that the five-time champions go out of India's way. It was safe to assume that green outnumbered yellow among the fans, whose number touched 47,825 on this day. As South Africa endured a top-order meltdown to be 24 for four, the stunned crowd fell into silence before

South Africa suffered yet another defeat in a knock out game of a global event but their performance against Australia in the second World Cup semifinal on Thursday was far from a choke, feels head coach Rob Walter From being a precarious 24/4, South Africa rode on David Miller's counter-attacking century to post a respectable 212 before Australia survived some tense moments to chase down the target in 47.2 overs. Walter provided his personal definition of a "choke," stating, "for me, a choke is losing a game that you are in a position to win. "In this instance, we were behind right from the word go, and we actually fought our way back into the competition and put up a score that gave us a chance," Walter said in the post-match media conference. We're 30-40 runs short =============== Walter said his team was 30-40 runs short. "And then, again, they (Australia) got us to a flier. We fought and we put ourselves back into the game," he said, adding 30 more runs would have made the

Temba Bavuma was aware that Australia are not a "Mickey Mouse" team, but the South African captain on Wednesday sounded confident of his side's ability to defeat the five-time champions and end the Proteas' World Cup semifinals jinx. Ahead of the last-four match here on Thursday, history is heavily stacked against the SA who have lost in the semifinals of the showpiece four times, with two of them coming against the Aussies. You know, we're not coming up against a Mickey Mouse team. Australia have a lot of experience and confidence in knockout games, so we've got to respect that, Bavuma said. Backed by some powerful batting performances, South Africa have been impressive in the league phase, but Bavuma said the semifinal would be a different ball game. I'd hate to say that we deserve to go through because of the way we played our cricket. I don't think that's the way things go. But I think from our performances, from the processes that we've followed to get to this point, we'll ..

They know what it takes to win the 50-over World Cup, having won five of them in 12 editions, but Australia skipper Pat Cummins said they are never "weighed down" by history and will stick to basics against South Africa in the semi-final here on Thursday. The Proteas, on the other hand, are known as the 'perennial chokers' in the cricket fraternity. "Yeah, I don't think it counts for too much. You know, obviously you start from scratch every time you play," Cummins said on the eve of their match. "They're a team we've played quite a lot and know quite well. But as you said, this week it's probably going to be quite different to say the South African series that we just played against them a couple of months ago. "We've got a lot of guys that have been in this situation before that have won one day World Cup, T20 World Cup, various other tournaments in big moments. So, I think that really helps," he said. Having started off with two losses, Australia are peaking at the right time,

Glenn Maxwell, whose thunderous knock against Afghanistan acquired the status of an epic, is on the mend and is available for for the World Cup semifinal against South Africa, Australia skipper Pat Cummins said on Wednesday. Showing incredible will-power, Maxwell had battled severe and multiple cramps in his body to conjure up a magical unbeaten double century to take Australia past the finish line. Maxwell needed time to recover and had missed Australia's last match against Bangladesh on November 11 in Pune. "Glenn Maxwell is all clear. He is all good. He was a little bit sore yesterday. We get scans a lot of the time just to make sure that if there is something, we know what we're dealing with and fortunately it came back all okay. So he's fine," Cummins said ahead of the semifinal. Chasing 292-run target, Australia were struggling at 91 for seven in 18.3 overs when Maxwell took charge and lit up the Wankhede Stadium with his pyrotechnics on November 7. Cummins said that Austral

Australia clinched the Twenty20 series against South Africa with a game to spare after another thumping win at Kingsmead. Following rain during the day, Australia chose to bowl and restricted the host to 164-8 on a fresh pitch. The Australians minced the chase, lashing 165-2 to win by eight wickets with 31 balls remaining. Captain Mitch Marsh finished the rout with 76 not out after a career-best 92 not out on Wednesday. Matthew Short added a career-best 66 off 30 balls. Australia won the first T20 by 111 runs. The third and last game is on Sunday. The chase was over in a blink.

Star all-rounder Mitchell Marsh is not looking to "reinvent the wheel" and would rather continue what regular skipper Pat Cummins and coach Andrew McDonald have been doing when he captains Australia in the upcoming white-ball tour of South Africa. The 31-year-old will be leading the Australian T20 and ODI side in the absence of Cummins, who is nursing a fractured wrist, in the white-ball series against the Proteas. "I probably won't try and reinvent the wheel at all. I think the most important thing I've learned about leadership is staying true to yourself," Marsh told cricket.co.au. "Patty and Andrew McDonald have created an incredible environment around our group right now so hopefully I can continue that in the T20 format and create an environment where the guys come in and just enjoy playing cricket for Australia." Australia are without a T20 captain since former skipper Aaron Finch announced his retirement and the series against the Proteas is the perfect opportunity for Marsh
