Prince, Kallis tons put S. Africa on top
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 21 - 03 - 2009

Ashwell Prince and Jacques Kallis scored centuries to help South Africa move into a strong position on the second day of the third Test against Australia on Friday.
The hosts ended the day on 404 for three, stretching their first innings lead to 195 runs over the frustrated Australians.
Australia, which has an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series, was bowled out for 209 on the first day.
The South Africans took advantage of a flat pitch under clear blue skies, with Prince scoring 150 and Kallis unbeaten on 102.
“South Africa have lifted their game and haven't let us play as well as we would have liked, although the boys tried very well,” Australia coach Tim Nielsen told reporters. “Not many people are bouncing around the changing room and it's the first time this young bowling attack has had to struggle through a long, hard day of Test cricket. It's been a very tough day today, but it will be character building.”
Kallis, the acting South African captain in the absence of the injured Graeme Smith, completed his hundred shortly before the close and made no effort to hide his delight having last reached three figures 13 Tests ago in April 2008 against India in Ahmedabad.
Umpire Asad Rauf originally ruled the single that took Kallis from 99 to 100 had been a leg-bye, but later changed his decision to a run after the third umpire confirmed the batsman had hit the ball with a thick inside edge.
The decision led to a brief tiff between the umpires and Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Prince, opening the batting for the first time in his career after being a middle order batsman in his previous 47 Tests, scored fluently as he needed just 152 balls for his century.
Imraan Khan (20), Hashim Amla (46) were the only other scalps Australia claimed on day two. Debutant Khan offered a sharp return catch to Peter Siddle, while Mitchell Johnson removed Amla after he edged a limp-footed drive to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin.
New Zealand in final
New Zealand women entered the final of the World Cup Cricket by posting their second-highest in ODIs (373) and the sixth-highest overall. They also hold the record for the highest score – 455 for 5 - against Pakistan in January 1997. New Zealand then bowled out Pakistan for 150 for a 223 runs win.
Scores: New Zealand 373-7 (Bates 168, Tiffen 100). Pakistan 150 (Abidi 52) .
Other results:
Australia 163-2 (Rolton 41*) beat England 161 (SC Taylor 49, Andrews 3-35) by 8 wickets.
India 86-2 (Naik 39*, Raj 34*) beat West Indies 84 (Taylor 29, Roy 4
