South Africa's Anrich Nortje [who took 2 wickets] :

 "The boys bowled really well again and we did a really good job. Ottniel Baartman was exceptional at the end as well." "The two games we've been really good in the field. That is one of our strengths and we've been working on it. Its been paying off and hopefully that continues."

 Now the Proteas chase a total of 104 and need 5.2 and over. 


SECOND INNINGS:

A six smashed through leg side from David Miller wins South Africa the match with seven balls of the innings to spare. 


Player of the match David Miller [59 of 51 balls] :
"My heart is a whole lot better now! It was a good finish in the end I suppose." "The pitch played a bit better than the first game. Credit to the Netherlands guys, they bowled really well and hit an area really well. Me and Stubbo [Tristan Stubbs]  just needed to create something and keep the scoreboards ticking along." "It was a low total so we wanted to show some intent and not go into our shell but they made it difficult but we just ground it out as well as we could. " We have got over the lune with our tailenders in the past so I has faith in the boys. I felt the first ball of the penultimate over made me feel like we could finish the game." 
Netherlands captain Scott Edwards: 

 "Obviously extremely close. With 110 on the board, only an over can change a game. Credit to South Africa, they bowled extremely well. We had a nice partnership but then they batted extremely well at the end. On the pitch: "It's hard to tell. There was more in it in the start but it was just different. On the Netherlands' form: "I think we pride ourselves on playing good tournament cricket. It is probably a little bit about that, but not to be today." How long did you have faith for?: "Right until that last six, I back our guys. I felt like we were one wicket away. If we got David [Miller], we would've had a shot."

  Would you believe me if I said this world cup was ten years ago on the 13th of July, well you probably wouldn't. In this blog were going to take a look at the matches that built up to Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina, Thanks to Mario Götze of course. GERMANY If  you ask me, Germany's 2014 world cup squad was one of the most dynamic and raw-talented teams we have seen in a good while, for one reason they had a team. That might not make sense but if you look at other teams, who have one or two good players you will see that they struggle, but when you look at Germany it had an entire roster of top tier players most of whom played together at club level.  Germanys squad for the world cup included: Manuel Neuer  Kevin Großkretz  Matthias Ginter  Benedikt Höwedes  Mats Hummels  Sami Kedira  Bastain Schweinsteiger  Mesut Özil  Andre Schürrle  Lucas Podolski  Miroslav Klose  Ron-Robert Zieler  Thomas Muller  Julia...

  Today is the first instalment of cricket history and iam going to cover quite a infamous event, Sandpapergate.  For those of you that don't know Sandpapergate was a ball tampering incident that involved Cameron Bancroft, Captain Steve Smith and David Warner. During a test match against South Africa in March of 2018, Cameron Bancroft was caught rubbing the match ball with a small yellow object. He was then seen stuffing said object into his trousers, when approached by the umpire he pulled out a dark microfiber sunglass pouch from his pocket. The umpires inspected the ball and concluded that it had not been noticeably tampered with. At the press conference at the end of the days play Bancroft, accompanied by Captain Steve Smith admitted that he was caught attempting to alter the condition of the ball using a short length of adhesive tape to which dirt and grit has adhered, forming and abrasive surface.  Five days later, after an investigation by Cricket Australia, Bancro...

 Australia beat Pakistan by 62 runs yesterday, which earns them there second win in the world cup which happens to move them up into fourth behind South Africa and ahead of New Zealand. The Aussies have started the world cup campaign by losing to India by 6 wickets and South Africa 134 runs. They redeemed themselves by beating Sri Lanka by 5 wickets and Pakistan by 62 runs. This is what Australia's captain, Pat Cummins had to say:  "That was great. Pretty tough playing here but good to get a win. Proper from the openers, it set the tone and we want to take the game on like that. The key in ODIs [one day internationals] is to carry on. You get on breakthrough and it looks tough for the next guy. Batting for long like our openers did, was great. Zampa has been awesome. Showed his class, he's a wicket taker . Babar and Iftikhar were big wickets. Were coming of two wins and have a three or four- day break before the next game. Can take a couple of days off, then get to work. ...
