International cricket tour
The South Africa cricket team toured Australia from 2 to 23 November 2014. The tour consisted of three Twenty20 Internationals (T20I) and five One Day International (ODI) matches.[1][2] During the ODI series, the International Cricket Council undertook a trial to broadcast the discussions between the on-field and television umpires.[3] Australian captain Michael Clarke injured his hamstring during the first ODI game and was ruled out for the rest of the series.[4] George Bailey captained the side for the remaining fixtures.
Australia won the T20I series 2–1 and the ODI series 4–1. With their win in the final ODI match, Australia went to number one in the ODI rankings.[5]
