If u get the video of the AUS vs RSA one day match at Wanderers dont miss it.......
Best match ever....
The ODI match between South Africa and Australia played on March 12 2006 at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg has been acclaimed by many media commentators as being one of the greatest ODI matches ever played.
The match broke many records, including both the first and the second team innings of over 400 runs.
Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. They scored 434 for 4 off their 50 overs, smashing the previous record of 398-5 by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 1996. In reply, South Africa scored 438-9, winning by 1 wicket with one ball to spare.
187 all out?
LOL. those 57 runs they gave away in last 5 overs cost them it.
man of the match shud hv been given to Kamran akmal. poor keeping n first ball duck![]()
pakistan is gona win no matter what
"Winning is a attitude, but for us its a habit .... Pakistan"
Did I mention "percentage" anywhere in my msg?? They r the centuries counted no PERCENTAGES mentioned!!when u lose a match.... u dont count how many catches u held on to, u see how many chances u missed. n he missed quite some.
That's ur point of view,,a negative approach..Mine is a positive approach..I see what good was done and can be done while u count the mistakes!
n as for centuries in winning causes... u dont see the percentage... u see the numbers of them tht helped win. n sachin has 29 centuries in winning cause.
if u see the percentage... then ganguly has 18 centuries in won matches out of all 22.

But I'd support Pakistan till they r out of the tornament

2007 Cricket World Cup: INDIA ???kay:
Who said cricket was dying in the Caribbean. With the World Cup in the Caribbean, this has given a new lease of life to the sport. And especially excited is the Indian community who is looking forward to see their team in action.
For Suleiman who came to Barbados after his marriage in 2004, this is now his new home, though the bond with his homeland remains. And just as strong is his passion for the game many Indians describe as religion - cricket.
"I see the guys out here just like to enjoy the cricket. It does not matter who loses or wins. It only matters who is playing better and just that," Suleiman says.
For the 3,000-strong Indian community residing in Barbados, it is always special when teams from the subcontinent come. They have fond memories of the old timers, from Dilip Sardesai to Nari Contractor to Sunil Gavaskar.
"In those days we had no Indian restaurants. So they all - Anshuman Gaekwad, Ravi Shastri - they all had dinner. Pakistani players similarly, they wanted halal food, so we gave them. So we have a good rapport with them," Rafik Patel says.
Indians, they feel haven't changed. It's the Pakistani side that has transformed into something that the Indians are known for - discipline.
"The Indians have basically been the same. I find that the Pakistani players have been a lot more friendly, lot more docile. The Pakistani players are a lot more friendly, while the Indians have been similar to what they were from the old guys, the Gavaskars and the Shastris and those guys, and now the Tendulkars, the Dravids," Anwar adds.
Barbados is hosting one India match and the World Cup final. Most of them have already got their tickets, and are hoping for the dream showdown.
"I am rooting for India, my favourite is Sachin," Suleiman says.
Nearly 3,000 citizens of Barbados are of Indian origin. Many of them still have close ties to their homeland.
When the Indians come here to play three super league matches, for them in many ways it's going to be home away from home.
