============================= Conditions =================================
It was another hot and sunny day. The pitch was playing with uneven bounce
(especially the Park Drive End). The occasional ball did not bounce and
would bounce 2 or 3 times before reaching the wicketkeeper. The wicket was
also playing slightly on the slow therefore making it difficult for the
stroke players to get the ball away. The pitch behaved inconsistently for
both innings and therefore did not give any side an unfair advantage.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
India           Batting  Amre runner for Jadeja.
                Fielding Sharma (12th man) for Srinath.
South Africa    Fielding De Villiers (12th man) for Hudson.
                Batting  None.

============================ Comments ====================================
Once again the Indian batting failed to fire on all cylinders and they
were once again bowled out in 50 overs. There was some controversy over
the run out of Azharuddin after a direct hit by McMillan led to the umpire
asking for trial by television. With the camera square of the wicket not
showing when the bails were dislogded because of a player blocking the
camera, the third umpire called for another angle. Then using the camre
positioned down the wicket, he gave Azharuddin run out. Kapil Dev in an
interview then went on to say that if the camera square of the wicket was
unable to deliver a verdict then the doubt should be given to the batsman.
ASIDE: The view from down wicket shows the bails being dislogded before
       Azharuddin makes it home. However, the picture was not totally in
       focus and one had to look really hard to see whether or not
       Azharuddin made it home or not. If one drew lines on the screen
       showing where the crease was and where Azharuddin's bat was then it
       was clear that he was out.
Once again the South African's gave up pace and went for line and length
and bowled to their field placements. The only exception to this was Brett
Schultz (making his ODI debut) 14 runs in the 8th and 10th overs of his
spell. Other than that, the bowlers performed admirably. The fielding was
also above average and the Indian batsman found it difficult to send the
RSA bowlers to the boundaries, with most runs coming in 1's and 2's.

South Africa took longer than 3 1/2 hours to bowl 50 overs but were not
penalised because there were disruptions which led to them not being able
to so in 3 1/2 hours. These disruptions were as follows:
1. Medical treatment for Jadeja after being hit by the ball.
2. Runner coming in for Jadeja.
3. Medical treatment for Cronje after cutting his finger when trying to
   stop a ball hit while in his follow through.
4. Getting a backup stump for a stump which was broken when Amre was run
   out.

The Indian was a reasonably easy target for the South Africans to reach.
However if the Indians did get a sniff of being able to win then the South
Africans would have found things going differently for them. There was some
success early on in the innings when Hudson was bowled from a ball keeping
low. Then followed Kirsten and Controversy. Kirsten was run out at the non
strikers end backing up when Dev was bowling. The controversy surrounds the
way of dismisall and whether the warnings given to Kirsten by Dev in two
previous matches should be carried over.
ASIDE: Dev was within his rights under the law of cricket to run out
       Kirsten. Since cricket is a gentleman's game, he should have given
       Kirsten a warning first since I believe that what happened in
       another match has no bearing on this match and hence why he should
       have been warned first.
Dev's run out of Kirsten could be seen as desperation by the Indians since
with such a low total to defend they had to get the South African's out,
and once the South African's started losing wickets we would have lost the
game. With Rhodes also coming and going as fast as he fields a ball, it was
up to Callaghan and Cronje (hero's of the 1st ODI) to stabilise the innings
and to get the victory target. This ended up being a stroll in the park.

UPDATE:
With regards to Kirsten run out a complaint was laid by the Indians to the
match adjudicator Clive Llyod concerning the behaviour of Kirsten and the
"deliberate" hit on the shin by Wessels on Dev as he was turning for a run.
Clive Lloyd's decision was to fine Kirsten R1000 or 50% of his match fee.
With regards the Wessels incident Llyod took Wessels "word" that the
striking of Dev by him on the shin was not deliberate.

======================= HISTORICAL EVENTS ================================
1. St Goerge's Park became the 100th venue in the world at which a ODI was
   played.
2. Schultz got his first ODI wicket.
3. Callaghan got his first ODI wicket.
4. McMillan returned his best figures of 9.4-0-32-4 for an ODI.
5. Record 5th wicket partnership of 78* in 111 balls for RSA in an ODI.
