Page "Hansie Cronje" Paragraph 15

In February 1994, there was the return series as Australia toured South Africa.

Cronje started the ODI series with scores of 112, 97, 45 and 50 * and when Australia played Orange Free State in their final match before the first Test, Cronje hit 251 off 306 balls, 200 of these came on the final day in which 294 runs were added.

Despite this, Orange Free State lost the match.

In the first test at Johannesburg, he added another century as South Africa won by 197 runs.

This innings was the end of a 14 day period in which he'd scored 721 runs against the Aussies.

However, he failed to reach fifty in the next two tests and four ODIs as both series were drawn.
