[bono_man2002]

And Normailty is somewhat restored in the cricket world, once again

Why is Brad Hodge not in the Test side?

Bad decison to drop him IMO.

I am?

Well, that's news to me, especially considering Australia has nothing for me to be jealous of.

i don't know whether you're including me in the "austalian bashers" or not, but i'm not jealous of the aussie cricket team. (why would i be when we beat them last summer? ) i don't really bash australia either.


on topic: the 5th ODI should be good

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Bloody hell. You'd think 435 is a big target to chase but the Proteas are doing it. Amazing stuff.

 

[bono_man2002]

Holy crap this looks like its been one hell of a match. I miss my Austar already.

I don't believe NZ has lost to Bangladesh before.......

 

[1stepcloser]

so australia scored the highest one day innings score ever and still lost

 

[Party Boy]

That was some cricket match! Imagine being SA going out to bat and having to chase 434. Some achievement

You can say that again! Amazing stuff.

Lekker!

Jealous? Of what?

I wish I could have seen that match. It sounds like it was an amazing bit of cricket. Well done, Proteas!

[the rockin edge]

that must've been a great match to watch

unless you're an aussie of course

 

[jacknife23]

Well if they can't defend 434, they better give up playing Cricket

 

[cleazer]

I can't believe my eyes, what a match that must have been to watch.

Why did Mick Lewis bowl 10 overs?!?!?! Why not give another over or two to Symonds or Michael Clarke?

 

[Axver]

HOLY SHIT!!!

That simply HAS to go down as the greatest game of ODI cricket in history.

It's going to take forever to top that. WOW.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I will post highlights of this once it becomes available. Holy fucking shit, indeed.

I'm hoping someone on the Aussie torrents websites, or any torrent site, may have recorded this game.

I'd Imagine Highlights would last a full 100 overs anyway

i was checking there, and other places



haven't seen it yet.

 

[Axver]

Whoever filmed the game has a moral obligation to release a DVD of it, complete with all the bells and whistles.

you'll find australians are interested in the quality of the cricket, not solely winning. unlike some it seems.

Pts 1 & 2 up, pt 3 coming up soon.

Thanks to the good folks at pakcricket.org

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Pt 3 is up. 45 minutes worth of highlights from what is potentially the greatest ODI ever...thank you ESPN Star for not showing it in any capacity whatsoever.

 

[the rockin edge]

thanks yertle

i never said you weren't interested in the quality of cricket, but are you telling me you enjoyed losing to SA like that?

Bugger it! I can't connect to any of those links, MySQL error everytime. Looks like too many people are trying to download them. But thanks, I'll keep trying. I must see this match, even if only highlights!

 

[the rockin edge]

i can't get those links to work either

i did find this torrent of a DVD

large file size...6 GB

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

I have pts 1 and 2 on my computer. I'll try and upload them onto ysi or something tonight but I'm a bit busy.

 

[timothius]

Statistically a brilliant game. I wouldn't say the best game ever (even close) as it featured some of the most consistently poor bowling in ODI cricket and South Africa had it rapped up pretty much for the last 100 runs of the chase.

Nonetheless, congrats SA. The mental fortititude was off the charts.

Little trivia fact that I haven't seen mentioned yet... the 2005/6 Australian team have now conceed the two highest successful run chases in ODI history.
