Australia vice-captain David Warner said his sides 142-run loss in the second ODI at Johannesburg could be traced to a poor start in each innings. Warner said Australia found it hard to recover in the field after South Africa finished the first 10 overs at 66 for 0, setting up a platform for an imposing 361 for 6 which was more than enough for the hosts to defend.We didnt start well, Warner said after the game. We always talk about trying to start well with the bat and the ball in the first 10. We lacked that a bit today and I think our energy and intent was probably lacking. But look when a team puts 360 on the board, its always going to be a tough chase. You have to start positive and try not to lose too many wickets in the first 10. Its unfortunate today but weve got another chance to come back and show up again in Durban.Australias debutant new-ball combo of Chris Tremain and Joe Mennie took the brunt of the punishment from Rilee Rossouw and Faf du Plessis, who produced his sixth ODI ton. Tremain and Mennie took a combined 1 for 160 in 20 overs, with Mennies 0 for 82 the worst return for an Australian bowler on ODI debut.However, Warner noted that the Johannesburg pitch is never an easy place for bowlers, noting Mennie didnt have it as bad as Mick Lewis, who conceded figures of 0 for 113 in the famous 438 chase by South Africa on the same ground 10 years earlier. He also said Mitchell Starcs absence was not an excuse for a lackluster bowling performance and that the young attack will hopefully learn from the experience.Youve got to play the cards that youre dealt and at the moment weve got two young guys making their debut. We do have a young attack but theyve done everything they can to be here and be in this position to play for the country. Its going to be a learning experience for them especially today.They have to go back and reflect on what they can do better, especially in the first 10. With Starcy and them out, it is what it is. We have to deal with it and we can only control what we can at the moment and thats with the guys that we have.As for Australias reply, Warner said the team needed to find a better balance between attacking in the first 10 overs and remaining patient enough to wait for scoring opportunities that open up over the course of the innings. While South Africa ended their Powerplay blemish free, Australia were 54 for 2 after 10 and lost George Bailey one over later, setting them back to a position they could not dig out of.Warner singled himself out for poor shot selection despite making Australias second-best score in the match and said Australia needed to produce bigger scores in the manner of du Plessis on Saturday and Quinton de Kock from the first ODI if they want to make a comeback in the series.We have to get hungry and we have to be hungry, Warner said. We are that on our day. Obviously it hasnt been our day the last couple of games but we have to keep having that positive mindset and go big. Weve seen the wickets. Theyre very very good wickets and if you get in... today I played probably a poor shot. Ive had a couple of soft dismissals. A few of the guys got caught down the leg side.ETwaun Moore Jersey .

The Tigers (9-1, 6-1, No. 4 CFP) can clinch a spot in the ACC championship game and get back on track after a home loss to Pittsburgh spoiled their perfect season but ultimately didnt knock them out of the playoff picture. Theyll have to contend with a Wake Forest team that led No. 3 Louisville for three quarters before falling apart in the final 15 minutes of a 44-12 loss. Obviously theres a lot on the line for us, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.BEST MATCHUP: Pittsburgh run defense vs. Duke offense. The Panthers have been tough to run upon, allowing 105 yards rushing per game to rank seventh nationally and holding Clemson to 50 yards on the ground in last weeks upset of the Tigers. The Blue Devils have found ways to make their ground game effective, with QB Daniel Jones and RB Shaun Wilson, rushing for at least 225 yards in their last three games.INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Pitt has made close games its trademark, both this season and throughout its brief tie in the ACC. Six of the Panthers games this season have been decided by a touchdown or less, with three losses coming by a total of 11 points. Pitt has played four road games in four years against Atlanntic Division teams and won them all with the average margin of victory just three points.ddddddddddddUPSET WATCH: Keep an eye on The Citadel against North Carolina. This might set up as a trap game for the Tar Heels, coming after last weeks loss at rival Duke and before a short week that precedes another rivalry game against N.C. State. The Citadel enters with a 10-0 record, the experience of having already beaten an FBS opponent -- the Bulldogs knocked off South Carolina last year -- and a ground game that could cause problems for the worst run defense in the ACC. I can assure you The Citadel is not going to come in here and feel intimidated by any means, UNC coach Larry Fedora said.IMPACT PLAYER: Florida State RB Dalvin Cook could put up some big numbers against Syracuses leaky defense. Cook averages 124 yards rushing -- second only to Heisman Trophy front-runner Lamar Jackson of Louisville in the ACC -- and will look to post some big numbers against an Orange defense that allows 197 yards per game on the ground.---Compiled by AP Sports Writer Joedy McCreary in Raleigh, North Carolina.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
