2nd ODI South Africa v Australia @ Centurion on 05 May 2009: Aussies in dire straits

After their big win in the first one-dayer, the Aussies have been blown away here by Parnell (4 wkts) and Steyn (3 wkts)

Australia 131/9 after 40 overs

They were 6/40 at one stage!!

Ferguson (50) and Johnson (30) being the top scorers

Australia 131 all out, Steyn claiming the last wicket of Hauritz

should be a stroll in the park for South Africa...

Australia have succumbed to pace here. Both Steyn and Parnel were lethal in the early spell and returned to clean up the tail in fairly quick time. The tables seem to have turned after that mauling in Durban, though the job is yet to be completed. There was a time in the Australian innings where they did pull off a short-lived recovery with Johnson and Ferguson tackling the spinners well to take their team past three figures but once the doosra separated them, it didn't take too long for the fast bowlers to wrap things up.

SOUTH AFRICA 39/1 after 8 overs

gawwddddd they r crawling. :bummer: its boring watching them play liek that.

76 runs in 15 overs.

^^ atleast they are crawling and not choking this time

After Australia imploded for a paltry 131, the run chase was a mere formality
