Australian Cricket
They were down 0-2 against SouthAfrica in a five match series.
In one of the matches they were shot down for 93.
The series currently stands at 2-2 and in the final game Aussies have posted a mammoth world record total of 434, that is right 434.
That is not all. SA are currently batting and are 300/4 in 32 overs. If there were any SouthAfricans who were still cross with Gibbs for the match fixing episode, I have a feeling that they will forgive him today. What an effort! Pity that he got out on 175 (in 111 balls).
I cannot wait to see how this turns out to be. Looks like another moment to use the cliche "..but the real winner was cricket!"
One of the greatest chases in Cricket
AND IT'S A MIRACLE! SA are home with 1 wicket to spare on the penultimate ball. No matter how "good" the pitch was, this is one of the finest chases in One Day International. I hope I can watch it somehow somewhere. Gibbes, Smith et al take a bow!! Ponting, although I do not like you much, you can too. :)

It was an amazing match. You should definitely watch this match...probably buy the dvd or whatever you can get hold of. It will definitely go down as the greatest one-day match ever, and it was really great to watch it live. Oh, how I missed these moments when I was in the US! The match was like a series of highlights of 5-6 ODIs put together in a single film :-) It was truly phenomenal batting.
However, I truly think that Australia lost because of Ponting's poor captaincy, more than just bad bowling or great batting. Or there is a possibility that it was fixed. Even if it was, I don't care. It was a treat to watch this match. Definitely better than any movie...
