Australia thrashed South Africa in the World Cup semi-final in St Lucia and will now meet Sri Lanka in a re-match of the 1996 final on Saturday. Matthew Hayden and Michael Clarke led an unflustered run chase as Australia won by seven wickets in the 32nd over.
Clarke finished unbeaten on 60, and Andrew Symonds hit the winning runs with a drive through mid-wicket for four to cap another near-perfect performance from Australia.
For Australia, Shaun Tait took 4-39, while Glenn McGrath (3-18) grabbed three early scalps to go to 25 for the tournament, a record haul in a single World Cup. Herschelle Gibbs (39) and Justin Kemp (49) put on 60 for the sixth wicket.

South Africa will be hoping it's a case of second time lucky when they go up against the all-conquering Australians in the second semi-final today
Australia has beaten all its major rivals on the way to the World Cup semi-final. Now South Africa gets a second chance. Beaten by 83 runs in the group phase, South Africa will become the latest nation to try to stop a rampant Australia team from winning the title for an unprecedented third time in a row. At stake is a final place against New Zealand or Sri Lanka, who locked horns in Jamaica yesterday. Every team has been resoundingly beaten and Australia's batsmen are at their brutal best. The bowlers combine the raw pace of Shaun Tait and the metronomic accuracy of Glenn McGrath and a handful of one day specialist bowlers who frustrate and contain batsmen. McGrath and opening batsman Matthew Hayden are the leading bowler and batsman respectively so far in the World Cup. McGrath will retire at the end of the tournament, ending the career of one of the world's greatest bowlers. Hayden, discarded as a one-day player six months ago, is in awesome form in the Caribbean. In eight innings he has scored 580 runs, averaging a massive 82.85 with three centuries. He also tops the Super 8s batting statistics, with 390 runs from five innings. One of the centuries, in 66 balls, was made against South Africa in the group stages as Australia amassed 376 for an easy victory. But South Africa will be no pushovers if the team combines its undoubted talent. Smith's left knee was wrapped in an ice pack on Monday after an injury he picked up during a nine-wicket victory over England last week that took the team into the semi-final. But he came through a lengthy net session and said he was confident he would be fit for Wednesday's match. Smith and A.B. de Villiers have established a good working relationship as openers and even resembled the destructive Australians as they bludgeoned their way to victory against England. In Jacques Kallis, South Africa has a potential match winner. Kallis has struggled to adapt to the one day game but provides a platform around which the team's more aggressive players can operate. Smith prevaricated when asked about his bowling attack, hinting that spinner Robin Peterson might play. That seems unlikely as he has played virtually no part in the tournament. Pace bowler Makhaya Ntini was surprisingly replaced by Charl Langeveldt against England after returning some moderate performances and it is not known if Ntini will make it back into the South Africa team. Australia team (from): Ricky Ponting (captain), Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Shane Watson, Brad Hogg, Nathan Bracken, Shaun Tait, Glenn McGrath. South Africa team (from): Graeme Smith (captain), AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Ashwell Prince, Justin Kemp, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Andrew Hall, Andre Nel, Robin Peterson, Makhaya Ntini, Charl Langeveldt, Loots Bosman.

Cricket World Cup Quotes.. I fully expect us to win every game we play, it doesn't matter what the make-up of the team is.  Ricky Ponting, Australian skipper. Is this a resignation issue? I'll have to talk with my superiors on that. former New Zealand captain and Match referee Jeff Crowe on the blunder by him and the umpires which caused the farcical scenes at the end of the World Cup final. I guess it was nice to finish off with a catch behind with Gilly. McGrath on Gilchrist catching Arnold to give him his last ODI wicket. He is the tournament's leading wicket-taker with a record haul of 25 wickets and the most successful World Cup bowler of all-time. It was really pleasing to do it on an important day. I've been getting a lot of starts but hadn't converted. Adam Gilchrist who smashed a final record 149 off 104 balls to set up the victory. It was simply a brilliant innings from Gilchrist, unfortunately I was the opposition captain watching it. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene about Adam Gilchrist's 149 off just 104 balls. My learned commentary is, my commentary is congratulations to Ricky and the boys, but to Glenn McGrath, that lanky bloke from Narromine, thanks for a wonderful contribution to Australian cricket.
Prime Minister "cricket tragic" John Howard. We listen to criticism, and there has been a lot of it from people saying it's been too long - so we'll look to make it shorter. ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed.
