The two best one-day cricket teams in the world defied the odds, gravity, a capacity crowd's expectations, various world records and their own human restrictions to blast themselves forever into the record books.
Few could have imagined scores above 350, leaving the yet untouched 400-mark out of the imaginable equation. Reading the scores on Sunday night in the smouldering aftermath of this incredible game, I had to double check two other websites to confirm in disbelief the stunning scoreboard of THE game.
Australia 434/4 after 50 overs
South Africa 438/9 after 50 overs
Wrapping up the match and the series with a win off the last ball!
What an unbelievable game in so many aspects. Kallis is surely finding himself in exile somewhere for his bouling figures, while Lewis's passport will propably be revoked.
Winning a game like that is beyond belief, unforgettable. I've heard it said that this will heal the nations scar of THAT semi-final defeat. Still, I do believe Herschelle would give three such games any day for the priviledge of holding the coveted World Cup aloft.
Let the euphoria hang until the test series start. It could be short-lived...
