Greatest ODI ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Australia made one day history. They scored the highest ever total in ODIs - 434 for 4 and lost!!!!!! South Africa batted second and won the match by 1 wicket and 1 ball to spare!!!!!!!!!!!

Scores: Australia 434 for four (Ricky Pointing 164, Simon Katich 79, Mike Hussey 81); South Africa 438-9 (Graeme Smith 90, Herschelle Gibbs 175)
Scorecard: http://imsports.rediff.com/score/in_match9063.html

A total of 872 runs scored in the day, highest numbers of fours and sixes hit in a day. After watching Australia bat, I had lost all hope of a South African come back. But from the first over itself South Africa maintained a run rate of 8, and ended up winning the match. South Africa lost 9 wickets in the process and ensured a nail biting finish. The best match I have ever seen and I can't wait to get it on DVD.


The winning captian - Graeme Smith


The man of the match - Herschelle Gibbs

After Hanse Cronje I thought South Africa would never come back so strong. But the team is back and definitely my favorite to win the World Cup. Sorry Dravid, but I am switching sides!

Dont have to wait for the DVD. Go to google videos and download the 1 hr highlights video - it's a 657 mb download, worth every MB and every minute of the 7 hrs it took me to download it.

India still can't download videos from google man!

"Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country. We hope to make this feature available more widely in the future, and we really appreciate your patience."

Patience is what we don't have
