South Africa beats Australia in a nail-biting contest between the two. The series is level 1-1 with one match to go.

Faf scored SA’s first century of the tournament v Australia (after 96* last game v Sri Lanka), but SA are now out of the World Cup and can finally go home. Rassie van der Dussen also scored 95. SA’s win took Australia off the top of the table and into a more difficult semi final v England. JP Duminy and Imran Tahir retired from ODis, and JP said after the game he will not stay on until the T20 World Cup. It may also be the last game for coach Ottis Gibson, who is likely to be sacked for not reaching the final.. Faf may retire from ODis and/or Tests.

The boys on tour are bringing out the glamour shots - first two possibly by Dale (on Faf’s IG) at Penfolds, and the third pic (Dave?) was posted by Dale.

"I'll remember his last game in Cape Town as one of the sweetest moments” - Faf

Aiden Markram scored 152 as SA were 6/313 at stumps on day 1 of the 4th Test (Faf 0). Morne’s son Arias took part in the anthem ceremony in Morne’s last Test.
