kangaroo curry for the dinner!

AUSTRALIA HAS MADE 434 AND WERE ON LOSING SIDE!, yeah you read that right. Guys whoever missed that match I pity you. You missed the most extreme pressure match Australia v/s S.A.
Boy o boy! What a match it was …Greatest match ever, greatest victory ever, bowlers from both sides were cleaned up, and records got tumbled all over.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MATCH:

Highest ODI score ever 438, scored by S.A; after Australia gave a target of 435 scoring 434, their highest ever score.
Most number of runs scored ever in an entire match on a cricket ground 872.
Most number of boundaries hit in a match surpassing the previous record, which was hold in the match between India v/s Pakistan, 84 boundaries.
Most expensive bowler in an ODI match, Australian bowler Lewis gave 113 runs in his quota of 10 overs, previously Muralitharan hold that record of most expensive bowler his figures were 99 runs in 10 overs.

It was the greatest ODI ever played, bringing back the memories of 1999 world cup finals.

FINAL OVER:

Well after the incredible batting performance of South Africans especially Gibbs, they were left with 7 runs to win in the final over. Lee was the bowler, ready to assault the batsman out there at the batting end. Ball 1, Boucher steals a single…… ball 2, Andrew Hall hits a beautiful boundary at deep mid wicket…….. ball 3, Hall tries to clear the in field but could not connect the ball properly to the bat and gets caught……little bit of twist here now 3 balls 2 runs to win the match but the problem was it was final wicket now and number 11 batsman was Makaya Ntini, not known for his batting abilities, has to face the music. Lee bowls the 4th bowl… Ntini nudged the ball to backward point for a single………………. S.A was left with 2 balls and 1 run to win…………Oh NO! Boucher stole the victory by slamming the next ball through long on for four … south Africa has won the match by 1 wicket!!!!

Absolutely no one has left the ground. What an unbelievable game it was…gonna be watched again and again, well it’s been a great day. South African’s proved that nothing was impossible! Superb victory!!

After the most extraordinary ODI ever, Smith was on a high, Ponting was like – can’t believe it happened to my team, Andrew hall was seen with Ntini was like saying – sorry mate for letting you in!

PS: we’ll soon witness a score reaching 500 in an ODI, very soon!!
