The shockwaves are still being felt Down Under after a truly seismic South Africa victory in the opening Test of their three-match series against Australia. After battling their way to a 177-run win at the Waca in Perth, in spite of losing the services of their veteran strike bowler Dale Steyn to a shoulder injury, they have given themselves an extraordinary shot at winning a remarkable third consecutive series win in Australia.Bet365 certainly reckons they are on course to pull it off. South Africa are currently 4/7 to complete their series win, with Australia an distant 11/2 to turn the contest on its head. Even so, precedent says that they should never be written off - the Aussies have lost only three home Test series in 23 years, two to South Africa and one to England in 2010-11.How seriously will Steyns absence affect South Africas chances, though? Not significantly, if the bookies are to be believed. Kagiso Rabada and Vernon Philander remain a formidable strike pairing, and are both 5/2 to be their countrys leading wicket-taker in the second Test at Hobart. For Australia, Mitchell Starc is 15/8 to be Australias leading wicket-taker, at a venue where he claimed a matchwinning 5 for 63 in his last outing, against Sri Lanka in 2012.Both sides, incidentally, are priced at 3/1 to claim the most run-outs in the Test - although theres no question which of the two teams has its eye in, given Temba Bavumas match-seizing marvel from short cover in the first Test.

NEW YORK -- The WNBA playoffs are ready to start with their own version of March Madness. Well sort of.The league changed the playoff format this season, adopting single-elimination games in the first two rounds before going to a best-of-five series in the semifinals.Im excited for it, said Los Angeles Sparks coach Brian Agler. No one knows yet how it will work out, but it should be exciting.The Sparks and Minnesota Lynx have byes until the semifinals after posting the top two records in the leagues 20th season. Minnesota will try to become the WNBAs first repeat champion since Los Angeles did it in 2001-02. Thats the last time the Sparks won a title, a skid they hope to end this season.Here are a few things to look for when the postseason begins Wednesday with the Atlanta Dream hosting the Seattle Storm and the Indiana Fever taking on the Phoenix Mercury:INJURY STATUS: Elena Delle Donne is sidelined after having surgery on her right thumb last week. The Sky have found ways to win without their star, clinching the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye. It might be difficult for Chicago to make a deep run without the 2015 WNBA MVP. ... New York has been beset by injuries toward the end of the season. Tanisha Wright (knee) played a few games before the regular season ended. Kiah Stokes hasnt played since Aug. 26 because of a hip injury. Shoni Schimmel also has been out with a concussion. The Liberty need to be healthy to have a chance to make it to the Finals.SUSPENDED: TThe WNBA handed out a one-game suspension to Atlantas Tiffany Hayes for accruing her seventh technical foul in the Dreams regular season finale on Sunday.dddddddddddd Under league rules, a player is automatically suspended one game when that number of technical is reached. The count is reset for the playoffs with a player receiving a suspension for a fourth technical in the playoffs.CURTAIN CALL: The stellar careers of Swin Cash , Tamika Catchings and Penny Taylor will end at some point over the next month. All three hope it will come after winning another WNBA Championship. Catchings and Taylor will square off on Wednesday when the Indiana Fever host the Phoenix Mercury in the opening round.Catchings won her lone title in 2012 while Cash won in 2003, 2006 and 2010. Taylor helped the Mercury to championships in 2007, 2009 and 2014.POSTSEASON SUCCESS: Breanna Stewart only lost one game in the postseason in college and that came in the Big East tournament her freshman year. She was a perfect 24 for 24 in the NCAA Tournament to lead UConn to four consecutive national championships. She hopes to continue that in the pros.I like the format, Stewart said after the Storms last trip to New York. Every game for us lately has felt like a playoff game because we needed to win to get in.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg ' ' '
