Australian cricketer in focus
South Africa has posted a 365-9 score, with Miller hammering 142 off 93 and Bavuma adding 103 as SA recovers from a rocky start to beat Australia by 32 runs in the first ODI at Johannesburg. The Proteas have taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, with the action shifting to Potchefstroom.
Australia’s tour of South Africa faces a critical Test series as Marnus Labuschagne seeks form after a string of modest scores. The squad includes Cooper Connolly, Matthew Kuhnemann and Michael Neser, with Pat Cummins as captain; Bangladesh and South Africa tests loom in October.
