导出博客文章Beating the masterIts not easy to confuse Hashim Amla, but Joe Mennie, playing
in his just his second ODI, did just that. Mennies fourth ball pitched on middle
and off. Amla, expecting it to come back in, looked to flick, but the ball
straightened to beat the edge and clatter into the stumps. After a horror debut
in which he conceded 82 without picking a wicket, Mennie would have felt a lot
better about himself.Three figures... finallyRilee Rossouw didnt hide his
unhappiness about not kicking on to get a hundred the previous two times he went
past fifty in the series. So when he pulled one deep square leg and completed
the single that took him there, Rossouw let him off steam. He punched the air
several times, leapt up and beamed through his helmet before removing it to warm
applause from the Newlands crowd.Not Dale Steyns nightAfter going for 17 runs in
his first three overs, Steyn had the opportunity to make an impact on the field,
but shelled it. Steyn was at third man when Aaron Finch, on 17, got a thick top
edge off Kyle Abbott. Steyn ran in and angled himself sideways, imaging the
breeze would blow the ball that way. He got to it but the ball bounced out as he
fell. Steyn offered Abbott an immediate apology even as he scolded himself for
misjudging it.Or Kagiso Rabadas As if it wasnt enough that Rabada had one chance
put down, when Quinton de Kock reprieved David Warner on 11, another chance was
put down off his bowling. Mitchell Marsh pulled to a short ball to deep square
leg where Kyle Abbott was stationed a little inside. Had Abbott been a touch
further back, he would have gobbled up the chance. Instead, he palmed over to
add to Rabadas frustration.But it was Imran Tahirs In what will be his last
appearance for South Africa this year - they only have Tests to come and Imran
Tahir is not part of that set up - Tahir made sure to have his say when it
mattered most. Australia were on track on 72 without loss after 13 overs when
Tahir was introduced and he immediately confused Finch, first with a flatter
delivery, then the legbreak, then the googly and then the flipper. Finch went
back to cut but was undone by pace as the middle stump was disturbed. Tahir set
off to celebrate in front of the Presidents Suite, with his team in tow. Two
balls later, he deceived the Australian captain, Steve Smith, with a straight
ball. Smith went back to drive, missed and was bowled. Tahir ran towards the
oaks and the grandstand to give fans on that side of the ground an opportunity
to share in his joy. As always, the team was in tow.Body language & banter
Faf du Plessis had asked his team to use their body language to boss the
opposition. Tahir tried. In the 38th over, after du Plessis agreed to review an
lbw shout off Warner which replays showed had pitched outside leg, Warner and
Tahir exchanged words. They continued their conversation even as the over ended.
Tahir became more animated, while Warner only smiled. Tahir continued from his
fielding position at short fine leg and had to be told to stop by his captain
and then the umpires but in his next over, Tahir carried on. The umpires
intervened and eventually Hashim Amla arrived to diffuse the situation. Tahir
still had another over to bowl, which took place without incident. At the end of
it, Warner put an arm around Tahirs shoulder in what seemed a peace offering.
Tahir responded and all ended well.

VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have
scored at least 80 points in each of their games. INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch
spent Saturday climbing in and out of brutally hot cars in Indianapolis.All that
work finally got him back to a pretty cool spot in Victory Lane -- and some ice
cold water.After claiming two poles Saturday afternoon, Busch returned to the
track and led all but one lap to win his second straight NASCAR Xfinity Series
race at the track by 0.415 seconds over hard-charging Kevin Harvick. Paul Menard
was third, 1.338 seconds off the pace.Id like to hope so, the 2015 Cup season
champion said after being asked if he can keep this up after earning his seventh
Xfinity win this season and record-extending 83rd of his career. I dont know
exactly how many [races] I have left, thats changing every day. But, hopefully,
with whatever we have left, we can have the same amount of success weve had
here.Busch has been virtually unbeatable on Indys 2.5-mile oval all weekend.He
posted the fastest practice times in both the Xfinity and Sprint Cup Series on
Friday, won the poles, captured the first of two heat races to establish the
rest of the starting order and put himself in position to secure his second
straight sweep of the two races in Indy.No NASCAR driver has ever won both poles
and both races here.The only prize Busch didnt claim Saturday was the $100,000
dash-for-cash prize, for which he was ineligible. That payout went to
fifth-place finisher Justin Allgaier, who was the best of the non-Cup regulars.
Allgaier said the thermometer in his car reached 137 degrees.How dominant has
Busch been?The Joe Gibbs Racing sttar held off two former Brickyard 400 winners
and one, Harvick, couldnt even catch the leader after taking new tires during
the final caution period, which extended the race to 63 laps.ddddddddddddThe
difference: Buschs perfectly timed restarts.New tires for those guys were good
for them, not so much for us, Busch said after completing the final 36 laps
without a stop. On the restarts, the second-to-last one was really good. The
last one was OK.It was at least good enough.Busch surrendered the lead only once
-- when he pitted after 27 laps -- and retook the lead when Brendan Gaughan made
his pit stop.The only other time Buschs lead was even in jeopardy occurred after
rookie Roy Black Jr. hit the wall in the second turn, slid down the track and
was hit by Harrison Rhodes, bringing out a caution with six laps to go.Harvick,
who drives for Stewart-Haas Racing, and Kyle Larson, who drives for Chip Ganassi
Racing, both stopped and changed tires. But they wound up battling each other so
hard that they couldnt catch Busch.Our goal was to overachieve today, and we did
that, Harvick said. We had a couple of good restarts and wound up second. Not a
bad day.Even if Buschs day was much more rewarding.I think our chances are
pretty good, Busch said, referring to the Brickyard 400. Starting up front means
a lot here in Indy. I think our Toyota today was strong. I think our Toyota
tomorrow will be even stronger. ' ' '
