http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Institute of Sport v South Africa Emerging Players - Emerging Players Tournament - Match Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 Emerging Players ended day 1 in the driving seat at 76 for 1, after pacers dismissed the Australian Institute of Sport for 224. The match was played at the Endeavour Park, Townsville on August 6, 2011.
It was the bowling pairing of Kyle Abbot and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Obus-Pienaar-c2135 which did the trick for the Proteas, as the seamer combined to take five a piece to restrict their opponents for a low total in the first innings.
In reply, South Africa closed the day with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Temba-Bavuma-c92965, occupying the crease on 44 and 11 respectively.
The Aussie skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ryan-Carters-c2386, won the toss and had no hesitation in batting first, hoping to get the early advantage.
However, their beginning did not go as planned, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tim-Armstrong-c93950 for 2.
Wickets continued to crumble one after the other, and this time Pienaar was in the thick of the action as he removed the dangerous http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tom-Beaton-c94177. He also dismissed the explosive Glen Maxwell for 4, taking a good caught and bowled chance.
The innings was rescued by skipper Carters as his half century paved the way to the Aussies reaching 200. He made 66 with the help of 10 glorious boundaries all around the park.
At the other end, pacers continued to trouble the batters before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Brain-c78799, along with the captain, offered stability. He made a brisk 54 off 88 balls and that too had 10 fours under his name.
However, Pienaar broke the resistance of Carters with Hendricks taking an excellent catch. With that, the last two batsmen also fell, leaving Brain stranded.
The bowlers gave the Proteas the advantage and the openers too asserted their proceeding on the match. The start was brisk with Smuts being the only wicket to fall. He made 15 with the help of 3 fours as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matt-Dixon-c75093 cleaned up the defenses of the player.
The pairing of Hendricks and Bavuma safely guided the side through the tough last hour, frustrating their opponents.
