For those of you that didn’t watch the final ODI cricket match between South Africa and Australia or don’t even know what cricket is… shame!
It was by far one of the greatest and most entertaining achievements in sporting history, and a number of world records were set and broken on the day. Even an American guy I met who was watching cricket for the first time in his life told me “…this is much better than baseball…”.
Despite the fact that my team won, it was an absolute pleasure to watch the two top teams in the world fighting it out to the death and the whole series was phenomenal.
On a related aside, Mick Lewis, the Australian bowler who now has the infamous title of the most expensive bowling figures in the one-day version of the game (0-113 in his 10 overs) has already been added to Wikipedia.
‘Post-it-now’ culture has trully arrived!
1 Kate Mar 24th, 2006 at 6:44 pmI am not a fan of cricket. In fact, I am not a fan of sport. Last time I got truly excited about or interested in sport was the ’95 rugby world cup. BUT I watched that cricket match and screamed my lungs out. It was amazing. One of my friends cried. Another vowed to give up smoking if we won. He hasnt had a smoke since!

I take my hat of for Australia but most of all I am so proud of the boys for silencing all of their critics. I can’t wait for it to come out on dvd so that I can watch the most amazing match ever, over and over. You go boytjies!!!
