South Africa\u2019s other frontline spinner, Keshav Maharaj, took figures of 5-33 in one of the great ODI spells on Australian shores.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Zampa has been reprimanded for the \u201cuse of an audible obscenity\u201d during an incident that took place in the 40th over of South Africa\u2019s innings.<\/p>\n

Zampa was heard using \u201cinappropriate language\u201d during his bowling spell.<\/p>\n

Frustrated after an overthrow, he was heard yelling \u201cf— me Greeny\u201d in the direction of teammate Cameron Green.<\/p>\n

Zampa, who finished with 1-58 from 10 overs, was handed a demerit point but avoided suspension or a fine. It was his first offence in two years, and with the leg-spinner admitting guilt, no hearing was required.<\/p>\n

There was no need for an official hearing given Zampa admitted to his offence.<\/p>\n

Zampa may feel hard done, given England star Harry Brook escaped a suspension for yelling out<\/a> \u201cf\u2014ing hell Washi, get on with it,\u201d at Indian batter Washington Sundar during his side\u2019s recent Test series against England.<\/p>\n

Australia will be eager to bounce back in the second of three ODI matches after slumping to their heaviest defeat on home soil – in terms of runs – since 1991.<\/p>\n

Australia will attempt to square the three-match series in Mackay, having now lost eight of their past 14 home ODIs against South Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prenelan Subrayen bowls against Australia on Tuesday night in Cairns.Credit: Fox South Africa\u2019s other frontline spinner, Keshav Maharaj,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-83692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
