South Africa’s bowlers finally stood up, showed they had indeed learned lessons from past mistakes and earned a crucial win amidst a thunderous atmosphere at St. George’s Park on Sunday.

PORT ELIZABETH –

This was a huge test for the bowling unit which – with different personnel – had conceded 626 runs in the previous three international matches including failing to defend a target of 223 just a week ago. Even in a format that demands variety with the ball, South Africa’s bowlers had been poor with their execution when they went to their off-speed deliveries and the absence of yorkers was a serious problem.

That changed on Sunday, particularly in the last five overs with Australia sailing to victory even though batting had gotten tougher later in the innings when the ball got softer on what was a sluggish surface. Neither side’s batsmen could accelerate the scoring as they’d normally hope to do in the latter stages.
