Ricky Ponting has shouldered the majority of the blame claiming that an international one day hundred is long overdue for the Australian Captain.

His top order batsmen slumped to 2 / 11 following the Captain’s dismissal and never looked like troubling the dynamic South African duo of Wayne Parnell and Dale Steyne he took eight wickets between them for a combined total of just 52.

Newcomer and all rounder Callum Ferguson showed why he was selected in the team combining with super star Mitchell Johnson to reach a half century in just his second match.

Johnson, who has been a beacon of light in recent darker times for Australia put on another impressive batting display before being dismissed for thirty.

It was Australia’s inexperienced bowlers that had a question mark over them at the beginning of the South African tour but the batsmen (with the exception of test debutant Phillip Hughes) are the real under achievers thus far.

With such a miserly total to chase down, the South African top order wasted no time, opting to demoralise the Australian side rather than chip away for a comfortable victory.

The proteas lost just three wickets in a run chase that showed plenty of dash and had them comfortably at the total in a meagre twenty four overs.

Ponting has promised that his batsmen will be back to their best as they tackle the third test in Cape Town tomorrow.
