What A Match!!!!
GOAT: To the plebs that is the Greatest Of All Time
The match that took place today between Australia and South Africa is one for the ages. It was amazing to watch history unfold before your eyes. First Ponting decimates the South African attack with Hussey, Gilchrist, Katich doing their bits and before you know it the Aussies have made 434 in 5o overs and you have written off the fucking South Africans.
Not surprising considering the South Africans have always been chokers and 434 seems just to big for any team in the world. This was the ground where the Aussies set 349 for the Indians in the last World Cup final and we failed to get anywhere close with the best batting line up in the world so what chance do the Springboks have. And then Herschelle Gibbs comes and plays (finally he lived up to his potential) what is one of the most awesome innings ever. You can keep arguing about the quality of the attack but this very same attack has been dominating teams in the recent past. The more you saw of it the more I wondered why Tendulkar keeled over so easily in that world cup final with a less imposing total. Talk all you want of greatness but this was greatness and that was mediocrity.
It was such a thriller reminscent of the Ali-Frazier match that went the distance and by the end of it you did not care who had won but just glad that you were part of history in the making. I can't imagine a greater match ever and this might just have changed the way one day cricket is played for ever.
And for once Thank God for ESPN and Barry Richards and Tony Greig for some riveting commentary.
PS
It's probably among the greatest sporting battles ever across sports and over the years
