To quote an online sports site:
South Africa achieved the unbelievable when they smashed 438 in 49.5 overs to win the fifth one-day international by one wicket and the series 3-2 against Australia at the Wanderers on Sunday.
On a memorable day clogged with records, South Africa fully deserved their victory simply because they had to follow Australia where no other team has come close to going before.
Inspired by an innings of perfection from Herschelle Gibbs, batsman after batsman showed up at the crease and kept ploughing on. This time there was no choking.
Everyone I spoke to didn't give SA a chnce after the aussies smashed a world record 434. Who would've thought that almost 900 runs could be scored in an ODI?
The 2 best ODI teams in the world delivered the best ODI game ever played.
What a game!
Dammit I wish I had been there today. My buddy said he would organize tickets, but he dropped me like Bracken dropped Gibbs - Btw, I was laughing hysterically when I remembered Steve Waughs' chirp in the WC when Herchelle 'dropped' him - "you just dropped the world cup, son." Thanks Nathan, you probably dropped the game and the series. Those extra 45 runs came in very handy...
What a game!
Actually, thinking about it now, who will remeber any world cup game after this belter...?
