What a match!

Ok, it was a dead track. Ok still, that there were short boundaries. But still, what a match!

Indians will painfully remember that this was the same ground - Wanderers - where Aussies had tonked India in World Cup final. Ponting loves this ground.

I usually don't like such 20-20 style hitting, but this was a 50-50 overs match, and to just keep on hitting in 20-20 syle for 100 overs was remarkable. And the match had it's more than fair share of twist and turns. Just imagine, 434 runs chased, with one ball and one wicket to spare!

Friends called in to watch the match just in case I wasn't. As it must have happened to the most of the cases, I too was.

STAR news stopped their Mumbai rape and Delhi murders coverage and started a live super-imposed commentry; and of course, blabbering Sandip Patil must have had to eat his words that this record would be broken(434 runs) only by Australia.

South Africa, for a change got rid of their slow pitches and presented an absolutely flattest of the beauties.

Situation needed horses for courses, and their main horse, the most clean hitter(according to me) in their side - Shaun Pollock wasn't playing.

And the man South Africans are intent making a Lance Klusener into - Justin Kemp - is not even a nail of him. He was bound to fail, and he did.

And the most under rated player in their side - Herchelly Gibbs - finally proved his true worth. What an innings!

But it was a complete team effort, and the players had complete belief in their abilities, unlike Indian, who gave up the at the end of first innings.
