Tasmanian Jason Krejza followed a batting cameo with a star showing with the ball as the Tigers downed South Australia by three runs in Sunday's Ryobi Cup match in Adelaide.

ODD - Adelaide Oval

14 October 2012 - Day 1, Session 2

South Australia 1st Innings

D. Christian	81	98	6	1	82.65
J. Haberfield	0	0	0	0	0
B. Laughlin	9.5	0	46	2	4.68

Chasing 222 to win, the Redbacks were bowled out for 218 with one ball remaining.

Krejza claimed four wickets after earlier smacking three sixes in a vital 33 in the Tigers' 9-221 from 50 overs.

Krejza's return with the bat was the second-highest contribution in Tasmania's innings behind Ricky Ponting's top score of 47.

But Krejza's feats with the ball, taking 4-35 from 10 overs, proved match defining despite a sterling knock from SA all-rounder Dan Christian.

Christian made an unbeaten 81 but couldn't conjure victory when needing 11 runs from Ben Laughlin's final over.

SA were in relative comfort at 1-71 in the 16th over only to lose five wickets in the next 20 overs.

But from 6-143 in the 37th over, Christian paced the chase despite frequently losing partners, only to ultimately fall short.

Earlier, Ponting was in fine touch before falling to a freakish catch when just short of a half-century.

The ex-Australia captain drove a Jake Haberfield delivery straight, hard and head high, and the paceman instinctively stuck out his right hand on his follow through.

The ball whacked into Haberfield's hand, popping out of his initial grasp before lobbing up and falling softly into his hands.

Ponting stood bewildered for about 30 seconds - either in disbelief at the catch, or at bunch of bees surrounding Haberfield as he delivered the wicket ball.

Ponting, who struck three boundaries and two sixes in his 63-ball knock, was the sole batsman in Tasmania's top six to pass 20.

The Tigers instead relied on handy late order contributions from Krejza and James Faulkner (32).

Redbacks skipper Johan Botha claimed 3-43 and paceman Daniel Worrall took two wickets on debut for SA.
