South Africa v Australia: Preview, video streaming and Live score, 4th ODI

Host South Africa is ahead after take the lead in the third one-day. At this moment they are in the leading the series by 2-1. Although SA lost to Aus in the first one-day international cricket match at Kingsmead, Durban, on 3 April 2009 by 141 runs. The 4th match is the series result confirmed match for the host but if Australia win then the fifth and final match will be important to all. When South Africa visited Australia, they beat the host 4-1. Although the host is still all head but if Aus could win the 4th and 5th ODI then the result will go to Australia.

It seems that it is difficult the visitors because they are not in good form. In the test series they showed good performances and able to beat the SA in their home grounds which is almost impossible.

Australia could not show their exact proficiently in the Twenty20 crickets and everybody will shout with me in same voice. During the Twenty20 world Championship they had to bow down their head to India in spite of heavy fight in the semi-final. But at this moment all of their efficient crickets are not in the team even who are in still now they all are out of form.

 

In the first one-day Australia beat South Africa profoundly of 141 runs. Really this is a big achievement to them. But last two match defeats depressed more. I think they will come back to the series by winning the 3^rd match that is going to hold at Port Elizabeth on April 13, 2009.

 

Ten Sports will broadcast the match live for the Subcontinent’s cricket fans. And, some websites will show text commentary live during the match running time even you can get preview and analysis through the websites.

South Africa’s winning rate of last five matches is very stable and lost only a single match. Most probably all the matches were along side Australia. After finishing the series with SA, Australia played one-day matches with the neighbors New Zealand when they won the series bout one match was not result from this view Australia just get loss in the previous two matches.

 

Winning records of Australia at St George's Park, Port Elizabeth is very balanced. It just lost one one-day match along with South Africa as well as they played with the Sri Lanka and New Zealand too. Among the nine matches Australia played seven matches and a single match will Sri Lanka and New Zealand.  Australia last met to South Africa on Mar 5, 2006 and won for 24 runs. The next match will be the 10^th match of Aus but 8^th match.

I thing South Africa is not satisfy about their pervious fiver matches performances because they just secured one victory. But the opposition Australia just lost one of five. Even, when South Africa visited to Australia they got a tremendous victory over the host in Test and one-day series but lost in Twenty20 series.

South Africa vs Australia 2009: who will win first T20? 

Earlier the year 2009, South Africa played two Twenty20 matches when South Africa visited Australia. That time the visitors defeated in both tournaments. Now, Australia is visiting South Africa. They already has won the Test series and now they will meet for the most exciting cricket match Twenty20 tournament on 27 March, 2009 at  New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg and according toe the local time 18:00 and 16:00 GMT.

 

 

 

So, this is a big opportunity for South Africa to take the revenge of defeat. They beat to Australia in the first Twenty20 match for 52 runs and for 6 wickets (with 7 balls remaining) in second one. It is clear that SA could not dominate Aus bowlers in both matches. But, hope that they could do well in their home grounds. 

 

No doubt that that host has to prepare themselves very strong in all sides. Australia is the best cricket playing nation and it is tough to bead them although they are in not in good form now. But the SA are mentally very strong because they won the T20 trophy in Aus. But it is very clear that they have overcome their lacking of the previous test series.

South Africa vs Australia test series: Jacques Kallis reaches 10000th group in test cricket

Jacques Kallis is the most favorite batsman and standing on the top position. I am glad to know that he has listed his name as the eighth men who reached to 10,000 in the test cricket. By playing 129^th tests he has archived his name in this honor.

South Africa is playing a test series along with the top-ranked test team Australia. Recently, they South Africa has visited to Australia when the played very positive cricket ever. They won both series trophy (ODI and Test). It is a big honor for my favorite team. On the other hand there is not doubt that the world champions is in pressure to hold their position now a days.

Now, Australia is visiting South Africa for three tests two twenty20 and five ODIs. The first test in going on and today is the 5^th day. JH Kallis is still on batting and they just need 276 runs from 8 wickets. So, it is a big challenge for the two countries.

Jacques Kallis is the first South African who has reached this remark. Really, it is a big achievement for him. He already has drawn his name in ODI history as a 10000 run holder. If he sacked a century in the first test then he will pulled up in the 9^th position where Indian master batsman SM Gavaskar is leading this place with 10122 runs.
