get a chance out in the midle

So you could say he's getting back into form

rack, all along the ground to long on
11 more to get, Klusener needs 3
33.2 Mutendera to Cronje, no run, pushed to point
Will Klusener end up like Tudor did in the first test against NZ ?
33.3 Mutendera to Cronje, one run, pushed to deep extra cover
Klusener has slowed down, he's now going at lkess than a run a ball
33.4 Mutendera to Klusener, wide: no run, Mutendera doesnt want Klusener
to get the ton, tries a slower one, goes way down leg
33.4 Mutendera to Klusener, no run, crashed to cover
The pressure builds, Cronje could end up finishing the game in the
next over

Match State: South Africa win by 9 wickets
So that pus Zimbabwe and South Africa at level on points but RSA
will have the NRR advantage
Klusener goes back to a standing ovation
Dont go away yet, there's still the man of the match ceremony to do
The Whittalls certainly the best bowlers on show, 10-46-0 for Andy
and 10-46-1 for Gu
Guy
So for the 2nd game in a row we've had a one sided encounter,
although the first match was really made into a thrilling one by
the now familiar Zim collapse
The presentation ceremony gets underway
The losing captain Campbell comes up
Flower and Johnson got going very well, we should have got 250-260
from the 35th over onwards
The middle order hasnt been good, we'vetn scored the runs when we
need it
We need them to do something better for the crucial game against
India
You really cant do anything when Klusener is going on like that,
the laws of cricket dont allow you to have fielders on trees
Cronje collects the 2000 US$ winner's chque
We played a lot better today, the pitch was a lot better
At 170/2 they were going well but we got quick wickets
We bowled much better today, Graham Ford spoke to the guys and we
all turned it around
Klusener is in a great run at the moment and so I pushed him up
We've been playing well right through the year expect for the semi
final
Its important for us to play positively, so we could get some quick
runs to pull back the Net runrate
Now er get to the MoM award, 5 TWI commentators making the obvious
decision
Its Lance Klusener
I've worked hard with Graham Ford in the off season, the pitch is
much better than the one we played on against India
After the first 15 overs we wanted to make the most of the
conditions, and make sure that I batted through the innings
So thats it from us at CricInfo, tomorrow is India against Kenya
