Key events
It’s not raining, they just had a lot of rain earlier, so even though the covers are off, they have a lot of soaking-up work to do. Potch is at reasonably high altitude, so apparently it’s cold today as well as wet. Not much fun for cricketers.
Toss delayed
Okay, we spoke too soon. There is a wet outfield at the ground in Potchefstroom, so the toss has been delayed.
You know what they say: better to have delayed and tossed than never to have tossed at all.
Preamble
Geoff Lemon
Hello! Game 3 and final today, with South Africa already taking the series in the first two. It has been a battle of the middle overs, with the home spinners thoroughly doing the job over the visiting batting. Australia, defending champions, need a solution to getting tied down, with just a year to go until the next World Cup, also in South Africa. So, still a lot to play for today.
