Australia tour of SA 2014

Both teams will hope that the rain does not play spoilsport during the 2nd T20I at Durban

From an inconsistent shot-maker, Warner has grown into an almost indispensable lynchpin of the Australian Test team.

Cricket Australia's National Selection panel announced that the quick bowler will return home to get some well-deserved rest.

David Warner tells Cricbuzz how much his twin hundreds in Newlands meant to him and shares Michael Clarke's dreams on taking Australia to the top of the rankings once again.

Australia won the third and final Test against South Africa by 245 runs at Newlands on Wednesday in a nailbiting finish with just 27 balls to spare after a day of epic home resistance.

Michael Clarke was awake into the wee hours of the morning of the fifth day of the final Test, knowing well that South Africa would make it terribly hard for Australia to win in Newlands.

Ryan Harris was acclaimed Thursday as one of Australia's finest bowlers after spearheading his country to a dramatic late series victory over South Africa in Cape Town.

Graeme Smith said on Wednesday he was keen to continue to play a role in South African cricket following his retirement from the international game as a player.

If you are overly disturbed by the sight of someone raining blow after blow on a victim seemingly unable to respond, then you might have turned away your head as Morne Morkel bore down on Michael Clarke, striking him with short ball after short ball.

South Africa will be buoyed after their brilliant showing in the second Test while Australia will be keen to get back to winning ways.
