What a game that was!

just absolutely awsome.. you have to give it to gibbs for raping the aussies

PS. To those who have no idea what we are talking about, There was a one day cricket match between Australia and South Africa today. Australia batted first and put up the HIGHEST SCORE EVER. The previous record was 398 in an innings, the australians put up 434, 36 runs higher than before.

Now it is well known that the Australians are the best in the world when it comes to cricket, so alot of people were think, "pfft, this is impossible, RAPE" and in fact I didn't even watch most of the match cause I thought we were going to lose. It's unheard of in international cricket to come back from that.

Eventually, South Africa did, some how, manage to win, putting up a score of 438, with one ball and one wicket remaining. To add to it it was also the last game of a 5 game series which was tied 2 all, and it is also being dubbed "The greatest game"

During the match a total of 24 records were broken. My f***.

England > Australia

We won the ashes mate!

Also this sounds like an awesome game :o

Errrr, thats just one test series. Australia are still number one in the world, even though they lost the ashes.

No offence to England, because your team is amazing atm, but I wonder how long they will hold on to the Ashes?

STFU WE WON THE ASHES!!!!!!!

And I'm going to go with we have the ashes untill 2007! :D

gg southafrica.....tht match made me miss soccer...but still it was worth it:D

yeh but we won the ashes

They just dun geddid mate :(

ODI's aren't real... Test match cricket is the only form of the game that matters.. seriously take our World Cups away, as long as we win tests I care not...

Also what was the pitch like must have just sat up, batsman's game cricket is now and that is boring...

Wd Sth. Africa...

ODI's and Twenty20 is for girls that get bored with the real game...

Wtf? Atleast your captain wasn't as much of a sore loser.

u just don't know my views on cricket... I really hate ODI / 20/20.... It's become completely farcical and this is the greatest extend of it... I think it's amazing that Sth. Africa got within 150 of the total (let alone win), but at the same time it's a joke that it was posted. It seems that bowling is almost no longer a factor and that luck and hard hitting are all that matters. That is exciting from a entertainment aspect but in terms of competition thats just lame...

Yeah my post does come off that way... but i would have said the same thing, and did (after the first innings), if south africa had lost...

only ppl with ashes are allowed to post here

i dun gettit

I read "Protoss" :/

Was a great match and a fitting end to a very tight series. I must admit, after the first innings I had absolutely no hope that the boys would pull out a batting display like that! Maybe a turn in SA's fortunes, certainly as far as finals go!

The test matches are gonna be awesome. Hopefully Polly is fit or else SA is in real trouble for the first test!

@ Lith: I hear what you say about test cricket, no doubt that is the biggest stage of all. I enjoy both ODI's and Test matches equally. twenty20 is more of a gimmicky form to draw big crowds and make money. Still, as far as domestic cricket here in SA is concerned, twenty20 is generating excellent revenue for our teams and that can only be a good thing as far as developement goes for all forms of the game!

Also remember that this particular ODI was played on an extremely good(batting) pitch, the outfield was lightning and the ropes were drawn in closer than usual! I also believe niether team bowled as well as they could've, all things considered.
