Australia vs South Africa, LIVE Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 4 in Melbourne

Day 4 preview: Australia will hope to wrap up the three-Test series against South Africa with a game to spare on Day 4 of the second Test in Melbourne.

Australia, who currently are on top of the World Test Championship table, declared on a mammoth first innings score of 575/8 on Wednesday following a double-hundred from opener David Warner as well as wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey’s 111-run knock.

This was after they bundled the Proteas out for 189 following a five-for from all-rounder Cameron Green, who would then go on to slam an unbeaten 51 during the Australian innings despite nursing a finger injury.

South Africa would then got off to a horror start in their second essay as skipper Dean Elgar was caught-behind off Pat Cummins’ bowling for a three-ball duck. Sarel Erwee and Theunis de Bruyn would then bat out the remaining overs of the evening session, a little more than five, as South Africa ended the day on 15 for the loss of one wicket.

An Australian victory would further bolster their chances of making the final after having narrowly missed out on a top-two finish in the previous cycle, which New Zealand won after beating India in the final in Southampton. While hoping to win the remaining game at Sydney, South Africa would also have to sweep the two-match series against West Indies at home while also depending on the results in the India vs Australia series that takes place in February to qualify.

In line with this thought, we are running a series of profiles on India's illustrious badminton stars. The articles, penned by Shirish Nadkarni, promise to take you on a nostalgia trip while touching upon the lesser-known facets from the lives of the past masters. Few badminton players can boast of the kind of consistency and all-round excellence that characterised Sarojini, the eldest of the three Apte sisters who dominated Indian badminton in the mid-1960s. Sarojini played in six Indian Nationals, from 1962 to ’67, and figured in the finals of all the three events in all the six years, except for a solitary ladies doubles final in 1964. In other words, seventeen out of eighteen National finals, but producing a slightly better than one-third result – s...
