South Africa 438/9 (49.5 ov)

I am still in shock. This is the greatest ODI ever.
Cricket at its best beats ANY sport for sustained drama, excitement and pure genius.

I happened on your blog only recently. I read some of the earlier ones, and they were very interesting. Keep up the writing!

ReplyDelete"This knock of 434 is greatest in the ODIs and might not be conquered ever. The way Australia is murdering their opponents, makes them invincible," he said on the sidelines of the second Test between India and England.

Were they playing in backyard?
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about it the more unbelievable it is - 434!!!!
ReplyDeleteTrue said. This indeed was the best ODI ever to have a glamorous display of runs batted in. But to all those people who are claiming South Africa to be the next Super-Power, relax and dont get too excited. They are not that consistent and they have the tendency to 'choke' in meaningful matches (when their reputation is on the line). Australia is far more consistent and over the few months they have been showing why they are still the best and why they are a serious threat to win it all next year once again! I mean, they boast one of the best batting line ups and each and every batsman who comes into the crease is a threat to score big runs. But having said all this about Australia, I must really say that South Africa did an amazing job of amassing 438 runs and winning the game with one ball to spare. It was a truly incredible feat....
ReplyDelete...if only South Africa could be more consistent in every game....
