It was 12th March, 2006...While England were struggling to 112 for five in 51 overs against India in the Test Series in India, the Australians had made an astonishing 434 for four in their allotted 50 overs - 36 runs more than had ever been made in one innings of an international limited-overs match. That is a feat of amazing proportions …
But the most extraordinary aspect of yesterday's game was what happened after half-time. South Africa roared back and, impossibly, unthinkably, they won, scoring 438 for nine.
How much I desire that I should have seen this match... these matches of such epic proportions dont happen so easily. Hats off to all the 22 players for playing their heart out (ofcourse in batting).
At the same time, bowling did disappoint. After all, records tumbled at the bowling department as well. After all the bowler Lewis also set a record, he wont be happy about.
In the end the Proteas did prove that they are shredding of ftheir tag as the choker.
