This was more like a draw!, South Afica unable to bowl out Canada
and they sedately proceeded to 136, they lost but the fact remains
were not bowled out
Lots of catches went down and Maraj completed a chancy but resolute
fifty
This has been a defensive match and must have provided lots of
experience to Canada and some worries to South Africa in bowling
and battig as they were not able to run off to a huge total
We would like to say goodbye to you know and look forward to
providing more live coverage tomorrow
