Tailenders Wayne Parnell and Rusty Theron snatched an improbable three-wicket win for South Africa in the second T20 against Australia at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday. Parnell (29 no) and Theron (31 no) put on an unbeaten 64 for the eighth wicket off just 27 balls to level a
series.
Australia's youth brigade took their side to the brink of victory but in the end a lack of experience proved costly to the tourists.
Brief Scores: South Africa 148 for 7 (Botha 34, Theron 30*) beat Australia 147 for 8 (White 39, M Marsh 36, Tsotsobe 2-11). Newspaper: Hindustan Times, 17th Oct
Teenage quick Patrick Cummins could become Australia's youngest Test player in nearly 60 years after being called up yesterday for their two-Test series in South Africa.
The 18-year-old has played just three first-class matches for New South Wales, taking nine wickets, but has impressed for Australia against South Africa in the T20 series.
He replaces James Pattinson in the only change to the squad that defeated Sri Lanka 1-0 and if he makes his debut will become the youngest Aussie to play a Test since Ian Craig in 1952-53. Newspaper: Mid Day, 18th Oct
