Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
Only reasonable explanation is a combination of a tiny boundary (I am guessing) plus some sort of spanish fly in the breakfast! this is incredible.
Shabash ullu day pathayo
Austrailia ne karnama dikha diya. Pakistan ko bhi peechay chord diya. Zabardast kaam kiya tum nay, ullu kay pathoon.
Meri favorit team ka yeh haal? 
Aisa karnama kiya hai? 400+ score kar ke bhi haar gaye kiyon…
Re: Shabash ullu day pathayo
and i was thinking of something else “Shabash ullu day pathayo”
Re: Shabash ullu day pathayo
i think you should say "shabaash SA....kamaal kar diya"
it would have been further heartbreak had they lost the series after leading 2-0....
they showed the aussies what they are capable of....
i couldn't be happier :D
Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
Yeah but so many runs being scored means the general interest in bowling will keep declining until you have the best batsmen and just average bowlers. Bowlers put in a lot of hardwork and need to see fruits of their labour with regular intervals (unplayable balls, wickets, maidens) to stay motivated. If they are handicapped then nobody would want to bowl anymore.
Sincerely,
Captain Lota
Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
i think no words can justify south african victory. When Aussies scored 400+ i thought that was a tremendous effort. But succesfully chasing 400+ ...... dont know what to say ... may be miracle .....

Ricky Ponting has praised Herschelle Gibbs’s “amazing” batting that launched South Africa to a mind-blowing one-wicket victory after Australia set a world-record 434 for 4. Gibbs pummelled 175 from 111 balls in a sensational reply before Mark Boucher’s unbeaten half-century sealed the win with a ball to spare in what is already being called the greatest one-day game in history.
“We had no defence mechanisms whatsoever against the way they were hitting the ball,” Ponting told AAP. “Herschelle was out in the 32nd over for 175 - that’s amazing batting. We obviously bowled very, very poorly, but they certainly played exceptionally well and deserved the win.”
Ponting’s batting was also special - his 164 came from only 105 balls - but he did not accept the joint Man-of-the-Match award, preferring to give it to Gibbs. “I don’t know where that innings came from; I don’t think I’ve played better,” Gibbs said in The Guardian. “We were smashing the ball everywhere early on, but I looked up at the scoreboard and we still needed 350 to win. We couldn’t have batted any quicker and the total still wasn’t coming down.”
Graeme Smith, who belted 90 off 55 balls, described their success as “a bit sick really”. “The pitch was great but you can’t sit down and plan to chase 434,” he said. “We said it was a freaky game at the halfway point, so who knows. Our initial target was 185 in 25 overs but we got way past that. It’s a massive night for all of us.”
Mark Boucher, who hit the winning runs, hailed the stunning victory as “one of my best moments in cricket”. “It’s one of my best moments in cricket so far,” Boucher told Sky Sports. “We always knew we’d be up against it. We tried to keep it simple, we knew we had to get a good start and Herschelle [Gibbs] and Graeme [Smith] did fantastically well. It was something special to watch. It’s fantastic. I’m lost for words.”
Ponting was angry at what has become a regular occurrence. “We can’t defend totals,” he said. “There was always a chance because we did it, but there is no way they should have scored that many runs.” However, he told AAP it was “just an amazing day”. “You just can’t fathom the sort of batting that has taken place today,” he said.
Now this is something special, Ponting praising Gibbs efforts.. 
Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
Game "laparoos" ka hogaya hai saara! I hate it! This match in no way beats the greatness of the World Cup 1999 Semi final. That was legendary stuff, and was a good battle between bat and ball, not between fours and sixes! Gosh.
Re: Shabash ullu day pathayo
OMG OMG OMG !!! i cant believe it. 438 RUNS!!!
Re: Shabash ullu day pathayo

Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
Twenty20 played in full 50 overs 
Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
I agree with you but this 20/20 was in full charm with Aus thunder and SA’s “awe” and “shock” reply. Whatever one might call it, but SA deserves all the applause.

Re: 872 Runs in 100 overs.
The Wanderers is a standard field.
The 2003 ODI final was played on the Wanderers and, due to a brilliant knock from Ponting, reached 359. Unfortunately the mighty Indian batting line could only reach 234 all out within 40 overs.
The totals might be surpassed in time but not the match. Two inferior teams don’t have the barsmen to reach such scores. One strong team will blast an inferior team into submission and pass the scores. Two strong teams will NEVER again reach the scores especially with such last over tension. This game was a fluke.
All hats off to the groundsman Scott who succeeded in getting a ground where the outfield were like a billard table and a wicket that was true right through the whole match.
