The Australians started off in style going 'bang bang bang' in the first 3 overs of the match where they scored 30 runs putting huge pressure on South Africa's bowlers.
However, they soon recovered with a double strike removing Bill Ponsford and Victor Trumper in the space of just 6 balls.
The well set Don Bradman was joined at the crease by Clem Hill. Together they played some extravagant shots and stitched up a partnership of 176 in just 217 balls to put Australia back on top.
Bradman brought up yet another ton, his 5th of the season but was soon caught at slip by Barry Richards off the bowling of Jacques Kallis.
The in-form Ricky Ponting came out to the middle but lasted just 2 balls as an inside edge off an attempted drive by him struck the stumps gifting Allan Donald a wicket.
'Big' Warwick Armstrong joined Hill in the middle and he declared hs intentions clearly promptly hitting Donald for six the very first delivery he received.
Hill brought up his ton with a stylish square drive which rocketed to the fence fetching him 4 runs.
He and Armstrong put up 172 runs for the 5th wicket. With Australia set for a huge first innings total at 403 with 6 wickets remaining, South Africa bounced back.
Neil Adcock removed Armstrong for 85 and not too long later he accounted for the dangerous Adam Gilchrist for just 13 when he caught a mistimed straight drive off his own bowling.
Shaun Pollock who had a tough time getting hit for boundaries in the early part of the match was brought back into the attack and repaid the faith shown by his captain by bowling over Hill with a beauty which hit the top of off. Hill departed for 162 to a standing ovation by the crowd.
After his departure Procter and Adcock removed the last three batsmen cheaply as the Australian innings folded with 441 on the board as they lost their last 6 wickets for just 38 runs. They scored at over 4 an over as they took advantage of South Africa's very South African tactic of using 4 fast bowlers and omitting their specialist spinner.

Gary Kirsten and Graeme Smith walked out as bat South Africa's first innings started with Australia having a huge lead of 441. Facing up to the likes of Fred Spofforth and wrecker Charlie Turner, they got off to an unconvincing start as Kirsten scored two lucky boundaries edging past slip and gully while a tough chance off Smith was put down by Bill O'Reilly.
However, Spofforth nailed Kirsten in the 5th over who was rooted at the crease against a swinging new ball and had to pay the price. Dudley Nourse arrived and for the next 14 balls there were lots of oohs and aahs as the batsmen could only prod to the brilliant deliveries they received. Nourse who was never comfortable played a forward defense off Charlie Turner only to see a faint nick go straight in the safe hands of wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist.
Graeme Pollock, South Africa's best batsman walked out into the middle to join Smith with South Africa in big trouble at 17/2. Then disaster struck for them as Pollock from whom a lot was expected was struck on the pads first ball in line of the stumps and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger.
Jacques Kallis came in at no 5 with his side reeling and the main objective being that of avoiding the follow-on. Smith and Kallis were calm and composed and went about playing their shots.
They brought up their half centuries and the partnership soon crossed the 100-run mark extending it to 139.
A wrong'un from Bill O'Reilly deceived Kallis and he was out lbw for 72 off 90 balls. Smith carried on for a while longer with AB de Villiers who came in at no 6 and straightaway started playing his trademark shots.
Then O'Reilly provided another huge wicket for Australia as Smith was out caught at short leg for a well played 83.
Barry Richards and de Villiers added another 39 for the 7th wicket before the latter played a lofted cover drive presenting the cover fielder Bill Ponsford with some catching practice. South Africa managed to avoid the follow on but their next four pairs could add only 46 runs as the innings folded with Allan Donald getting clean bowled by Spofforth while Bill O'Reilly who was bowling at the other end grabbed a four-wicket haul.
Australia secured a big lead by a margin of 161 runs and would now aim to bat well in their second innings.

Already having a big lead, the Australians started their fireworks as soon as their second innings started.
Ponsford and Bradman spanked the bowlers to all parts of the ground and were particularly harsh on Kallis and Procter who bowled wayward lines are were punished.
No bowler could stem the flow of runs or stop the brutal assault. Both batsmen brought up their half-centuries and soon the lead passed 300 but finally there was some relief for South Africa when Bradman played a lazy shot only to be given out lbw and denied a century.
Victor Trumper who came in at no 3 initially struggled allowing South Africa to reduce the flow of runs to some extent but the aggressive Ponsford brought up a brilliant century and went about scoring runs at ease. Trumper soon got into the mix of things and started hitting a few fours but was soon dismissed by Jacques Kallis. Clem Hill, the centurion from the first innings started off from where he left and took the Australian lead past 400 along with Bill Ponsford. Their pair was broken by Neil Adcock who had Ponsford caught at square leg for 141 bringing Ricky Ponting out to the middle. Hill went about playing his trademark drives and flicks and brought up his 50 while Ponting was in to touch at all prodding, playing and missing many balls. They managed to add 85 for the 4th wicket taking the Australian lead to a mighty 500 before Ponting's struggle was ended by Neil Adcock. He scored just 19 off 61 balls.
Warwick Armstrong came out to bat coming off a strong batting performance in the first innings. He and Hill put up 42 in just 5.4 overs putting pressure on Kallis and Pollock who were given harsh treatment but Armstrong didn't last very long due to an inswinging yorker by Adcock which struck his pads on the full ending his short stay.
Adam Gilchrist came in at no.7 and luck went his way as he was dropped first ball by Shaun Pollock at slip.
He grasped this opportunity with both hands and became hard to bowl to due to his aerial shots all around the field forcing Gary Kirsten to go on the defensive. Hill, who was nearing his second century of the match shifted gears and started playing more defensively while his partner went all guns blazing. Hill brought up his second century of the match, Gilchrist yet another fifty, his 8th of the season and Australia's lead crossed a mammoth 600.
At this point the Australian captain Bradman could have easily declared but rather surprisingly he allowed his batsmen to bat on as the day ended. The next day i.e Day 4, Hill and Gilchrist came out with the license to score runs quickly. Hill mistimed a pull which went straight in the hands of Shaun Pollock at deep square-leg.
Gilchrist batted on and 67 more runs were added along with the tailenders as he brought up his century in style hitting Procter for four to the third-man region but lasted only 3 balls more as he was caught at slip. Australia were all out for 569 with a humongous lead of 730 leaving South Africa to chase 731. This match is headed only two possible ways now - a draw or a win for Australia.

-X-Given an improbable task of chasing 731, the South African batsmen had to occupy the crease for long periods and settle for a draw which is something they're usually good at.
Smith and Kirsten started off in positive fashing hitting Spofforth and Turner for boundaries and consistently rotating the strike. Spofforth, who was struck for 3 boundaries in his first two overs bowled a brilliant outswinger to deceive Kirsten who nicked the ball straight into the hands of Bill O'Reilly at gully thus ending his innings for just 16.
Smith and Dudley Nourse build up a healthy partnership with Nourse being the aggressor and Smith treating every ball on its merit. They added 61 runs in 88 balls for the 2nd wicket keeping the scoreboard ticking.
Just when the batsmen were looking set to get a big score, Nourse was bowled by an unplayable flipper from Bill O'Reilly who showcased his genius.
Graeme Pollock who was out for a golden duck in the first innings survived this time and began in convincing fashion hitting his first and third deliveries to the boundary.
The Smith-Pollock partnership lasted only 26 balls as Smith nearing his half-century got carried away and poked at a wide delivery from Dennis Lillee which caught the edge of his bat and travelled safely into the bucket-like hands of Adam Gilchrist.
Jacques Kallis who made 72 in the first innings joined Pollock at the wicket.
He started off in similar fashion to the first innings playing some wonderful front-foot shots while his partner Pollock relied on the back-foot more to score runs. Bradman surprising took Lillee out of the attack despite him bowling well and getting Smith's wicket. Over the next few hours, the batsmen scored runs at a very good rate keeping the scoreboard ticking with the likes of Turner, Spofforth, O'Reilly and Armstrong being punished and still no sign of Lillee being brought back into the attack.
Even the usual Aussie sledging and banter didn't do any harm to the batsmen's concentration. Kallis brought up his half-century while Pollock brought up a fine century by smashing Spofforth down to ground for four but the very next ball, Spofforth bowled a vicious bouncer aimed right at Pollock's helmet causing him to glove the ball straight to Clem Hill at short-leg. Pollock made his way back disappointed but nonetheless recieved a standing ovation from the crowd. A partnership that lasted 37.3 overs in which 138 runs were added, came to an end. AB de Villiers joined Kallis who was batting very well on 52.
De Villiers played defensively unlike his natural game in order to help his team draw the match but he didn't last too long as Lillee, finally brought back into the attack ended his 28-ball stay in which he scored only 12. Now South Africa were clearly struggling at 290 for 5 with the deficit still being 440 as Barry Richards came out to bat.
He and Kallis put up 46 runs for the 6th wicket scoring at a run-a-ball. The pair frustrated the bowlers until Richards played an unnecessary slog sweep off a tossed up delivery by Bill O'Reilly only that ball caught the top edge of the bat and gave Bill Ponsford at square leg a sitter. The new batsmen Mike Procter was given a hard time by Lillee and Turner who kept intimidating him.
Kallis who had been holding fort for nearly 4 hours now was batting on 91 nearing his century when an inswinging yorker from Lillee cannoned into his off-stump as South Africa's last hope of drawing came to an end. Procter and Shaun Pollock didn't give up just yet and aimed to bat long enough.
Procter played powerful shots all round the wicket and scored 39 before he fell to a trap set by Lillee who bowled a short-pitched ball with a deep square leg and Procter hit it straight to him. Now only the tail-end rabbits in Neil Adcock and Allan Donald were left with Shaun Pollock being the only known batsman.
Pollock and Adcock's 17-run partnership lasted 53 balls before Adcock's innings ended with a ripping leg-break from O'Reilly clipping the bail off middle-stump. Victory for Australia could come any moment with the last man Allan Donald coming to bat with over 2 hours remaining in the day. Donald lasted just 8 balls for his 3 as he was bowled through the gate by Spofforth. South Africa were bowled out for 420 falling short by a big margin of 310 runs though they will get another chance to qualify for the final in the Qualifying Match 2.
Australia on the other hand were on a high winning 10 in a row and easily sailing into the final where they shall face the winner of Qualifying Match 2.

Must say that was a great effort by the South African (Proteas?) team. Scoring 420 in the 4th innings against a legendary bowling attack is a phenomenal performance. That said, I feel our bowling was not upto the mark with Turner and Armstrong returning wicketless while Bill O' Reilly and Fred going for over hundred runs in their spell. Lillee was by far the best of the lot picking 4 good batsmen and giving away next to nothing in the process. I wish the Kirsten and co., all the best for their chances to make it to the final.

-X-MATCH SUMMARY
Code:
England 209 & 317
West Indies 155 & 235
England won by 136 runs
Man of the match: Herbert Sutcliffe
The West Indian bowlers were at their intimidating and destructive best but their wayward batting lineup failed miserably which proved to be their undoing.
They were defeated by 136 runs in the hands of England who eliminated them and progressed into the second Qualifying match which makes it their first time that the West Indies have failed to progress into the LAB final.
Despite their defeat, the West Indians showed good sporting spirit by congratulating their opponents.
Herbert Sutcliffe showed why he was considered as one of England's best ever batsmen by scoring 114 in the second innings on a pitch where only three others were able to cross 50.
