anybody see the one day match today? bet the aussies are peeved posting a world record 434-4 in 50 overs and still losing one of the great if not the greatest one day match of all time

I haven't got Sky so didn't see it, but that is one hell of a result.

Quite a few records broken :-
Highest team score (438) - briefly Australias with 434
Highest score batting second (438)
Highest match aggregate (872)
most expensive bowling (10-0-113-0)

I remember these 2 countries battled it out in the world cup semi final a while ago. That also was an amazing match, Lance Kluesner almost pinching it, but a run out denied SA.

Ricky Ponting should be sacked!

Truly one of the world's best ever competitive games, not just in cricket. To top it all, Australia get beat ...... who wrote that script?

South African are we?

No quite the opposite!

My point is, as captain even with a crappy bowling attack you should be able to defend 434!

Bring back Greg and Trevor Chappell!

This was repeated on Sky over the weekend as a highlights program and they over-ran by quite some time, meaning that my recording on Sky+ missed the last few overs I can't believe anyone can get the end time wrong for a highlights repeat program.
