South Africa vs Australia....870 runs scored in the match!
Australia batted first and scores a monster 434/4 the highest one day international score ever(by far)...impossible to beat????
I THINK NOT!!!!
Pontings 167 was surpassed by Gibbs' 175 and South africa came back in world class style to finish it with one ball to spare.

has to be the best game of cricket EVER played...even you canadians can appreciate that

Will never be another game like that as long as i live me thinks!!!!!!!!

...┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐...

Why dont they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff?

Considering baseball is the most boring sport ever, I don't imagine that would be hard to do.

Yeah, wish I could have seen that match. Unfortunately cricket is only televised on Sky, and you cant just get Sky Sports on its own.

cricket... ever read Douglas Adams?

that has to be THE most sucky game. ever.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Wrong. Golf is. It's a walk with interruptions.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

*groan*

Our bowlers have had their citizenship revoked and will never darken our shores again. Our batsmen get 434 and THE BOWLERS CAN'T DEFEND IT??!!?? A bloody under 12 school team could have bowled better.
Line and Length, you clowns. They can't hit boundaries off Yorkers, either. OK, maybe they can, but it's VERY BLOODY DIFFICULT! I said Mick Lewis was crap during the ODIs here earlier, and I was right.

And losing to Seth Efrica, urgh, it's almost as bad as losing to the Kiwis ...

Gawd, now they actually might have some credibility to the delusion that they're any good.

Just shows how valuable Glenn McGrath is to us, and Shaun Pollock to the Yarpies.

Well done to the Proteas. Hopefully it will never happen again.

Cheers,

How do you do that banging-head-against-the-wall icon?

If this was the best game match ever, does that mean we can just put the game away and never have to look at it again now?

If you wanna write snide comments about cricket I believe there is a worst sports poll that you can do it in!

Anyway did anyone see the match? I meen common it was something extra ordinary!
im not a die hard cricket fan but there will never be a nother match like this....ever.... it was just too amazing!
its like getting a baseball score between the two worlds top baseball teams of 41-40!
or a hocky score between USA and Canada of 25-24 !
let me put it this way the score that Australia made was a world record score but they didnt just break the world record...they annihilated it, then for South Africa to go and beat that score is what makes it so amazing!!
if one team scores a high score ..well yes it would be very good but for BOTH teams to do it and be so close...its just something that is not likely to ever happen again!

I didn't see the game, but from the Score is sounds like one of the best One-Day games.

I do believe that that score will be beaten within next few years, as more and more teams are getting better at hitting at faster rates, as well as the One-Day rules being more and more batsmen friendly (not to mention shorter boundries).
