00:00It's a long hop, he could be out over Adams' head, it goes all the way, that's what the

00:10skipper needed to do.

00:11Bad delivery but it was a beautiful stroke from the new batsman at the crease, a perfect

00:16pull shot.

00:17Shot, well it's not a great delivery with a fine leg up, it's a slower ball, it was

00:28short, sat up nicely, which it does on this wacker wicket, it was well put away, certainly

00:36a veteran of this form of the game, but I dare say a little bit nervous.

00:44Everyone's starting to talk, Pollock and Rhodes, Fleming's running up to his bowler Franklin,

00:48the crowd are up on their feet, whether they're South Africans, we're not sure, they certainly

00:56do enjoy the way Rhodes plays his cricket.

01:01There's pressure on, what's Fleming going to come up with, he's going to bring mid-on

01:03up, there's no easy single down there, and that's a pretty good move, I don't think Jonty

01:09often hits over mid-on, I'm pretty sure even if he hits it to that man where he's going

01:15to stand, there's a single anyway, so it's really not doing the job of cutting off a

01:19single.

01:45What a job for his team that is, to come in when he did, 3 for 23, and peel off his second

01:53one day hundred, that's why the crowd appreciates it, no matter what nationality, done a job

01:57for Eastern New Zealand that catch.

01:59Oh that's nicely struck, that one's into the crowd, oh about 10 or 12 rows back, that's

02:08what Sean Pollock can do to you when you put him down the over before.

02:13His first chance in this situation of the match, down breeze, short boundary, a fellow

02:19like Pollock has only got to get the ball somewhere near the middle of his bat to go

02:23with that big full swing.

02:25His last 10 over disaster is happening again New Zealand, James Franklin can't get it up

02:51far enough to be a Yorker, and there's the outcome.

02:55Magnificent stroke play by Pollock.

02:58They must pay one hand off the seats here at the Wacka too, that gentleman there with

03:03the black shirt was claiming that, pretty sure they hit a seat, Stephen Fleming had

03:08a chat with James Franklin before this over, probably about keeping the ball up, yeah that's

03:12off the seat, bobs up, man the black, man the black shirt's claimed that, that's a shocker,

03:19there's no way that's out, I'm not walking on that.

03:25Third umpire decision, now Stephen Fleming's had to settle, he's got time, they're ahead

03:30of their over rate, he must make sure his bowler is very clear and give him enough confidence

03:37to do it.

03:40Oh it's straight again, that's flat, I'm not sure if that one's gone over the rope, yes

03:45it has, it's landed inside the ground, the rope's a good metre or two in along that boundary,

03:52it must have cleared the rope, and that's three sixes in a row to Pollock.

03:58Just gives himself enough room, stays outside leg stump, so even if it is a Yorker on the

04:03stumps, gives himself as good a chance as possible to hit a six.

04:10He's got it again, that's the biggest run, by what, well we've seen one 10 rows back,

04:20that's about 20 rows back, and that's Pollock's 50, he brings it up with four consecutive

04:26sixes, 55 off only 29 deliveries, the first 50 against New Zealand in one day cricket,

04:37what a way to bring it up, that one's huge.

04:43James Franklin tried, the shorter ball, tried to hit the length this time, and Pollock,

04:48because he's outside leg, just picked it up and sees it clearly, and smashes it, baseball

04:55style, over left field, that's the second sixes hit like that in this match, four consecutive,

05:00plus one other, five in the innings.

05:03Learn the hard way.

05:06Well that's a great shot, magnificent piece of improvisation, that's the lap sweep off

05:12a ball, 132 k's, and he's picked it up, chipped it up.

05:20Well that's gone, once again, it's that hitting length, you've got to be strong enough and

05:27a good enough player to hit it, and Sean Pollock is putting on an exhibition.

05:34Ball over left field too, full stride, again outside leg a little bit, but the length this

05:40time didn't jam him up, put down at long on.

05:47It's a bit firmly struck, Rhodes will get back to two, oh no he won't, gone right through

05:53mid-off to the boundary, moved in to the man this time, and it started so well for New

06:00Zealand after winning the toss, it's turned out very nicely for South Africa, after 50

06:05overs they've finished in 5 for 270.

06:08John T. Rhodes there on the right, 107 not out, and 135 balls.

06:16Sean Pollock 69 from 34.

06:21Sean Pollock 69 including four sixes in a row.
