If you wanted to know how badly South Africa wanted to win 5-0, you need look no further than Imran Tahir. In the 38th over, with Australia requiring 119 runs at more than nine an over, and shortly after David Warner had survived a lbw appeal, Tahir took it on himself to tell Warner who was boss. He sprayed down a shower of words which lasted into the next over and took the intervention of the umpires, the captain Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla to calm down.While Warner said he had no idea, what set Tahir off, du Plessis explained it was merely a case of the legspinner following through on his request for South Africa to boss the opposition with body language.He wears his heart on his sleeve. He loves doing well. I havent seen him like that but it just shows how badly he wanted to win the game, du Plessis said. He realised David Warner was playing a great knock and he had to try and get under his skin. They had a few words.Whether Tahir will be punished by the ICC remains to be seen but as far as du Plessis is concerned, his only crime was passion. I dont see anything wrong with that. When Immi was done, they put their arms around each others shoulder said lets have a beer afterwards. Immi is obviously going to have a glass of water, du Plessis joked.The major damage Tahir inflicted on Australia was not of the verbal kind, though. In his first over, Tahir struck a double-blow when he bowled both Aaron Finch and Steven Smith and derailed Australias chase. After being rested from the Port Elizabeth game in favour of Tabraiz Shamsi, Tahir wanted to make a statement and from the praise du Plessis heaped on him, he made it loud and clear.He is an absolute gun, du Plessis said. He is the reason we are where we are in one-day cricket. He is a competitor, he wants to win games and he wanted to show everyone that he is still our No.1 which he is. He is my banker.Tahir was not the only standout from South Africas win. Rilee Rossouw batted with a fractured finger to score his third ODI hundred and first of the series, Andile Phehlukwayo topped the wicket-takers list and JP Duminy scored a second half-century in the series to ensure South Africa had contributions from several sides. Ultimately, the team effort is what du Plessis hopes will be the legacy of this series, in which South Africa made history by white-washing Australia.We didnt expect 5-0; we just wanted to beat the Aussies, du Plessis said. And then when we got to 3-0, it was important for us to make sure we dont take our foot off the gas. We wanted to make history and we did that.Its a special feeling. I am hoping tomorrow when we wake up, we will see this incredible team effort and it will last a long time. I am incredibly proud to sit here and be captain of a side that has done that. We were a team right through the series. Jordan Lyles Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies.

The Dutchman, backed by his Barney Army, has become one of the sports most loved characters and his match on Thursday against Robert Thornton will mark his decade anniversary in the Premier League.Sky Sports have looked back over 10 years of highs and lows... Stamping his authorityEntering the PDC as a four-time BDO world champion, Van Barneveld immediately showed that he meant business by adapting to the Premier League like a duck to water. Ronnie Baxter was his first victim as the 39-year-old Barney thrashed him 8-1 in Blackburn. Which brave challenger would step up to face the new kid on the block next? Raymond Van Barneveld was one of the BDOs top talents when he crossed over You guessed it, Sky Sports very own Wayne Mardle took on Van Barneveld in the Dutchmans second week as a PDC player. Wayne wont mind us reminding you that Barney ran out an 8-4 winner in Sunderland. Roland Scholten (remember him?), Peter Manley and Colin Lloyd were the next names to fall to Van Barneveld before, in the Dutchmans eighth Premier League match, he finally tasted defeat to Phil Taylor. It was the second chapter, after they drew their first match, in a remarkable Premier League rivalry. Mardles crystal ball Will Van Barneveld win this week? Rivalry with TaylorVan Barneveld undoubtedly would have won considerably more had his career not run parallel with Taylors, and the veteran pair have spent the last decade flinging high-pressure arrows to captivate the Premier League audience. Taylor, overall, has enjoyed the lions share of this rivalry. Barney defeated Phil Taylor two weeks ago in the Premier League But that in itself is what makes Barney such an adored part of Premier League history. To this day, he has the feel of an underdog even though he won his most recent meeting with Taylor a fortnight ago. Van Barneveld, however, needed 21 attempts to finally get a Premier League victory over his rival, although they have shared fireworks at the oche.His maiden victory was in the 2014 semi-final and propelled him to his only title but another memorable contest came a year later. Barney, enduring a disappointing run of one win in six, got the better of Taylor in a back-and-forth duel which saw The Power average 115.80 but still emerge as a loser. That 7-4 win ranks as one of the tournaments greatest ever games.The nine-darters The first Premier League nine-darter was scored by Barney against Peter Manley Van Barneveld required just five Premier League matches to hit the competitions first nine-dart finish. He achieved the perfect leg against Manley in Bournemouth 10 years ago, a rare feat that underlined his early promise to become one of the sports elite players. Barney hits his second Premier League nine-darter against Terry Jenkins He needed another four years before he could post another nine-darter in the Premier League.dddddddddddd Although he managed it in 2009 at the World Darts Championship, his next perfect leg in the Premier League came a year later against Terry Jenkins in Aberdeen. Surely theres no better way of marking his decade with the PDC than with another nine-dart finish?New talent from the NetherlandsThe orange-clad country that is mad about darts has produced plenty of excellent throwers but the emergence of a young Michael van Gerwen has kept Van Barneveld on his toes.Their first four meetings were at lower-level events but a 16-year-old Van Gerwen won three and lost just once. A stark message had been sent about the balance of power at the oche. They wouldnt meet in the Premier League until 2013, and Van Gerwen won both meetings, meaning the 2014 final had particular significance. Michael van Gerwen (right) has threatened Barneys status as the top Dutch player The younger Dutchman was the reigning champion so it took all of Barneys might to finally record a title-winning victory - it was their third Premier League meeting of that year and they had shared the first two results.More recently, they met at last years play-offs at The O2 and Van Gerwen was back to winning form to eliminate Van Barneveld. The rivalry will continue on March 31 on the final date of this years initial league phase. Whos playing Thursday? Full details of the fixtures The championVan Barneveld finally went the whole way and lifted the Premier League Darts crown in 2014. It was the perfect addition to his jam-packed trophy cabinet although the sole prize perhaps does not do Barneys brilliance justice. When his moment in the spotlight arrived, he grasped it in spectacular fashion with a 10-6 win over the magnificent Van Gerwen in the final.Barney had only entered the 2014 competition as a Sky Sports Wild Card after a below-par run of form. He stormed to the runners-up position in the league phase having beaten Van Gerwen along the way, although his younger compatriot pipped him to the No 1 spot. Two years ago Raymond van Barneveld won the Premier League title The play-off phase presented Van Barneveld with a task as challenging as it could possibly have been. But he toppled Taylor in the last four, his first ever Premier League win against The Power, before going a step further and edging Van Gerwen to claim the championship. He ended a glorious Premier League season with a terrific checkout percentage of 50.22.Watch Premier League Darts from Dublin on Thursday at 7pm on Sky Sports 1 HD.
