McKenzie run out on 99 as Warne takes six
March 11 2002 at 03:32PM

Neil McKenzie was run out one run short of his third Test century and leg-spinner Shane
Warne took six wickets in his 100th Test as South Africa set Australia 331 to win the second
Test on Monday.

South Africa were dismissed for 473 in their second innings on the stroke of tea on the fourth
day, Warne completing an astonishing 70 overs and finishing with six for 161 when he had last
man Dewald Pretorius caught at first slip for a duck.

It was the most overs the leg spinner has bowled in an innings in his 100 test matches,
surpassing the 55 against South Africa in Durban in 1993-94.

McKenzie suffered the agony of being out for 99 when he pushed Brett Lee into the covers and
set off for a single. Damien Martyn dived to his left and threw down the stumps at the bowler's
end to catch McKenzie just short of his ground.

McKenzie's 99 came in a little over five hours from 226 balls and included 14 fours, most either
pulled or driven with crisp timing.

For the second day in succession, Australian captain Steve Waugh turned to Warne for the
first over of the day and after working through 42 overs on day three, the leg spinner again
turned into a sterling performance.

Warne struck with the only wicket of the morning, Ashwell Prince pushing forward on 20, the
ball flying off his glove towards silly point where Ricky Ponting took an excellent one-handed
catch.

With the pitch continuing to offer prodigious turn, Warne was a constant threat.

Mark Boucher scored a belligerent 37 before he was trapped on the back foot lbw by Jason
Gillespie and Andrew Hall was run out for a duck after athletic work by Lee.

Makhaya Ntini was Warne's fifth victim, caught in the deep for 11 after slogging. Paul Adams
finished 23 not out which included sixes off both Warne and Mark Waugh.
