Australia doing well!

werd

yeah its a decider 2-2

1/167

350+ cmooon

1-198

GO PUNTER

kat out, hussey and punter in together...I want more fireworks from huss

looking good though... big total coming up with Symonds still to come. Oh yeah, take that South Africa... you may talk the talk, but walking?

omg punter hit the ball over the crowd seats, what a effort!

punter century

indeed. good job punter, a well struck 100

We r teh winnars

its got record broken 360 runs :D since 359 for Aust vs india in 2003

they will try go for 400 runs..... hope it!

hussey out for 81 well done hussey

it is looking like a 400 score... i hope they make it.

400 Runs!!!!!!

punter out for 164! great jobs ricky

ahaha we are absolutely caining them!!!

400... simply amazing. I wonder who if Smith is going to lable Australia "chokers" again

yeah awesome games with out pollock

that graphite strip was holding Punter back, thank god they removed his unfair advantage!

Kallis has solid bowling figures ;)

how dumb does smith look now

if Smith makes a duck, this match is perfect.

its over 434

Historic...

Damn, Katich has let the team down again... his slow strike rate of 87.77 just doesnt cut it compared to the rest of the team and their 100+'s. ;)

But 434 is one serious total. That has smashed the old record for ODI's by almost 40 runs. Almost feel sorry for South Africa... almost.

WE choked, should have been 450, Smith was spot on.

highest run chase? ;

My dad and I were watching it laughing, it was THE best batting performance, both individually (punter/hussey) and team vs the most uncontrolled, lacklustre bowling performance.

I think SA bowlers gave up in about the 10th over.

Come on bing, lets skittle their batters for 100! :D

lol at 4 no balls for 15 runs (or was it 19?.. heh)

i'd find a victory margin of 250+ somewhat amusing, and its very possible too.

its was 4nb, 1nb, 6nb, 4nb, 2... so techincally 17runs of the first ball of the over

I wonder how many $$ Smith had on the Aussies scoring 400? Cronje would be loving this!

South African bloke at work was running his mouth friday arvo... theres go going to be 60 aussies running their mouths tmrw morning.

im crying cuz i dont have cable tv

i wish we had a south african in the office.

ts was 4nb, 1nb, 6nb, 4nb, 2... so techincally 17runs of the first ball of the over

17 + 4 nb. 21 runs for the first ball!

Is the ground tiny? like the one where NZ chased down 340 odd in NZ? Or did we really just smash the f*** out of them?

lol 1 for 3

not a good start to knocking down 434

same ground we pumped 359 on at the World Cup, not that small, but the pitch is a road.

haha we owned them

One of my boss's is a South African, I am going to give him s*** tomorrow!!!

Lewis and Clark = Super-Useless-Men

From baggygreen.com

17.6 Symonds to Smith, FOUR, length ball, Smith drives it away over wide mid on - great innings this by the skipper, at least he's not choking

wow.. almost don't want to sleep tonight... Smith is taking everyone over the boundary

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE SMITH GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

Yeah but Gibbs might post a double century in a 1 dayer!!!!

This isn't going too badly for South Africa just quietly. Hopefully they can't keep it up for much longer.

another out

Gibb Gones!!!!!!!!!!

Holy s*** what a match...

Roy oh catch!

Wow, we're looking at over 800 runs in a day.

We better win.

meh south africa have got this, time to go to bed

20 runs from 15 balls needed =/

lewis better not be bowlin last over

Pretty sure he will be.

Oh its lee.

The most incredible game of cricket I have ever witnessed.

What was with Lewis though? He better never play for Australia again...

11.30 econ rate for a full 10 overs, that's just painful.

highest run chase? ;

self-quoting now-fulfilled prophecy and laughing at all of you tools

Best one-dayer ever

jesus christ, we lost :/

WE LOST!??!?!?!?!!?!

unbelievable.

.........:O

meh...home court advantage.

humble pie tastes like s***.

f***! I just heard the score on the news this morning. Wish I'd watched this one.

I was just checking the score on the internet and it was 1/3... then 1/122 and i thought i'd just watch it to see them slog a bit and get all out... but OMG

don't worry, channel 9 will release and rerelease a DVD of it and infinitely many framed photos

oh my god

Bowling O M R W
Lee 7.5 0 68 1 (3nb, 1w)
Bracken 10 0 67 5
Clark 6 0 54 0
Lewis 10 0 113 0 (1nb, 1w)
Symonds 9 0 75 2
Clarke 7 0 49 1



WHY? Ponting should have bowled Lee more and clarke more, he only went for 50.

That bewildered me too, i saw lewis at 6 overs for 70 when i went to bed, get up and see ponting had bowled all his overs out for 113, i mean wtf?
Now we cant laugh at murali for having the worst record in 10 overs ffs.

the South africans took Kallis off with similar figures and the other blokes went for just as many, there's always one bloke that goes for plenty, just unlucky.

I reckon Kallis could have bowled a better 48th over than the bloke that replaced him...

Haha Spidz

I am South African, and I seriously did not think they would pull this off !!!

Woohoo !!!

Sometimes I really do think its rigged though.

GO THE PROTEAS!!

Any time I've seen Lewis bowl, he's bowled s***house. He's not worthy of bowling the final overs at international level, I don't care if its vs Sth Africa of Bangledesh.

Ponting made a bad tactical decision bowling Lewis.

i blame jane mcgrath!

It's almost as though Ponting wanted to end Lewis' career.
