Greatest ever Cricket match

Since my last post was related to Cricket, this one's also describing the greatest Cricket match (One Day International) ever played. It features the national teams of South Africa and Australia. I'm not a fan of these two teams but when in 2006 it was played, Australia were the top team in the world having won two consecutive World Cups and sitting at top of ODI rankings with a big margin. As always the South Africa vs Australia bilateral series has been nail biting, this final ODI was evenly poised. It was a series decider. Just for a brief summary, batting first, Australia made a massive 434 in their allotted 50 overs. That was the first time a team had crossed 400 run mark in ODI history. South Africa were required to chase 435, and the way their chase begin was disastrous. But then, it had everything to keep the Cricket lovers glued to their TV screens. Watch the highlights here.

Ricky Ponting cannot believe it. Who'd have thought that Australia will lose after scoring 434 runs.

I remember I had my O levels exams in a couple of weeks' time and my tutor was giving me extra classes. I made excuses every 15 minutes to come to my home to watch and witness this amazing victory by South Africa.
