South Africa take on the mighty Aussies (not so mighty anymore) in their own backyard tonight and it should be a very competitive series, seeing as they are the top 2 ranked team in world cricket. Nevertheless, SA has a history of choking against the Aussies.
One reckons it could be different this time around with some fearless youths in the side - De Villers and the electrifying Dale Steyn. For me, these two guys are the key for SA. De Villers is good against spin and lateral movement and swing is his major worry against seamers but this Aussie attack isn't famous for swing so that's one less trouble.

Australia vs South Africa 5th ODI Live Streaming
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh says he is pleased Matthew Hayden left cricket on his own terms.
The 37-year-old announced his retirement yesterday after 103 Tests in which he scored 8,625 runs at 50.73.
Waugh says he is confident Hayden would have performed well if he had kept playing, but he knew it was time to move on.
"It's always difficult towards the end, there's a lot of speculation about your position in the side," he said.
"[He had] one of those runs where he's had a couple of tough decisions, a couple of run-outs and things haven't gone his way.
